FactThis Triton generation was built only in Laem Chabang, Thailand, yet still got exported back to Japan for three years before Japanese sales quietly stopped.
In 1996 a new generation of the Mitsubishi L200 pickup, sold in Japan as the Strada and in Australia as the Triton, was introduced with 2.5-litre turbodiesel engines developing 103 hp. Other engine options include two sixteen-valve fuel-injected gasoline engines and a naturally aspirated diesel; the previous 2.6-litre unit was replaced with a new, considerably more powerful 2.4-litre engine with 145 hp. The car participated in the Dakar Rally in 2005, and production ended in 2006. These trucks were only built in Laem Chabang, Thailand, and were also exported to Japan between 1997 and 1999, when Japanese sales were discontinued after these three years due to shifting emissions and customer preference. In late 2001 the third-generation pickup underwent a facelift with new headlights and other changes. An SUV developed from the Mitsubishi Triton, the Mitsubishi Challenger, was released in Japan in 1996 and badged Montero Sport, Pajero Sport, Shogun Sport or Nativa overseas.

When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
