Mitsubishi, looking to do something a little different for its potential customers, turned to one Leona Chin to spice up the overall shopping experience. Leona, no stranger to the ways of the power slide, appears all too happy to play along.
The prank starts off with Leona playing a shy and inexperienced sales girl. She greets several customers, but fails to impress them with her knowledge of the new Mitsubishi Triton. Naturally, the guys start to get a bit cocky – one even suggests that the Triton is no place for a woman.
Determined to do well on her “first day,” Leona tags along as the drivers head out for test drives. It doesn’t take long for her to get behind the wheel of the truck, though. Mind you, the pick-up in question is the new Triton Phantom variant we uncovered a while back.
A quick word about the range-topping Phantom, first, and what you get here is effectively a Triton Adventure that has been treated to more goodies. The truck features unique decals and trim pieces on the exterior, HID projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights, black-painted multi-spoke 17-inch wheels, and chromed sport bars and a flatbed hard cover.
Inside, the leather seats feature red stitching, “Phantom” badging, and a carbon-fibre motif on the side bolsters. Performance wise, this variant also gets a 2.5 litre variable geometry turbo engine that provides 178 PS and 400 Nm at 2,000 rpm, coupled to a five-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel drive system. Sitting just above the Triton Adventure in the range, the Phantom retails at RM119,200.
We’ll let you find out just what else Leona had in store for her customers that day by watching the video above. We promise, no regrets getting through the whole thing. If you’re looking for more pick-up truck videos, don’t forget to check out our episode of the Driven Web Series 2015 where we pit the Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara and Ford Ranger together to find out which is best.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
hahaha..that fat guy was cool!
Yeah, I bet he drives and turn corners fast too, thus not too surprising with such speeds :)
THIS IS A MAN’S CAR YOU KNOW? Classic.
All those “men” that goes to the GYM …. HAHAHAHA. How foolish you look and sound now eh !
Wallop artificial protein for muscles LMAO
Typical Malaysians always looking down on women in general. Gender inequality, race inequality, ethnicity inequality, income inequality. Too bad even after this video the Triton is still a car for those who want to make up for their small cahones.
The men’s are good actor lol screaming like shit !!! But Leona Chin she ROCKS BABY !!! And Paul tan crew she will be a good addition on Driven :)
No doubt womens are good with steering. Just they dont know how to use signal.
kudos to Leona…I admire ladies with this sort of driving skills.. And to the guy who quoted “this is man’s car” go eat your words!!!..hahahha
nvr look down on anyone regardless of gender, age or race…
The fat guy’s da mannn!
ford ranger/mazda bt-50 = competent and capable
toyota hilux = solid and reliable
isuzu d-max = economical and practical
chevy colorado = powerful and stylish
nissan navara = spacious and comfortable
mitsubishi triton = sports car like suspension system?
Cool idea. But planted passengers so not so cool after all.
Most of these videos are extremely fake. There was once where this girl or another girl was learning how to drive in a drift car and had a driving instructor with her. In one of the scenes was a white guy as a driving instructor. Where in Msia we have white instructors. Completely right when it is all an act.
Ya ya ya only John X is real, what a sour grapes.
The fat guy wins!
Does any triton can slide without topple?
they pour water on the tarmac to make the surface slippery with some loose gravel. If they did on normal street, i betcha it will end up upside down.
At least it didn’t rolled over. If they do this with the current Hilux for sure it would tipped over. Hilux is by far one the most unstable pick-up truck if you push it off limits. Already seen 2 Hilux rolled over on an intersection and another 2 on a normal straight road. Not sure if it’s the drivers fault or not but for sure I’ve never seen a Triton, Ranger or Navara lose its control on the road. I saw one Dmax rolled several times but thats because an impatient Saga driver decided to hit the back of the Dmax.

The racer wannabe guy is the nicest person there!
Get her to start a drift section for cars revised in driven! Sure good one!
*reviewed
Decent video, entertaining.
But is it me, or are those “customer” hired actors? So this is more like a staged movie rather then a prank.
Agree
Aiyo! Men screamed like school girls. Hehehe!
“lets do it again!”
i love that guy! xD
tengku djan vs leona chin in time attack, who will win?
If i can get leona to sit in my sti.
I bet u , i will take revenge for the guys.
I am going to shock her what real driving is about.
STi? You will surely shit in your pants once you sit in my TRD quad turbo!
advertisement for triton only lah :-(
Cayalah bro. Fat Guy wins.
Ohh damn, I would like to sit beside Leona Chin if I have the chance. Definitely will enjoy the ride ….
In early days I don’t quite like pickup truck cos they are under power. What’s the point having high torque and low horse power when driving in the city? But after I drove a Navara it totally change my mind.
i not doubt female cant drive well.
just their uncertain decision ruin them.
if female can make decision firmly, driving is not a difficult for them.
peace. :)
Hey Leona, you ain’t gonna touch my flatbed hard cover HiLax :-D
that’s why fat people are always the coolest!
Hat’s off to You Leona Chin, How Long did it take you to get used to The Phantom?
So fake lah – expect people to believe these were real customers? Come on Mitsu…
Try to look on that one cheating man, already with a gf..haha..try his chance on Leona..he want to buy car or get random girl?..”soft hand”, “what beautiful girl like you doing here”..obvious pick up lines..haha
very FAKE!!
Girls always good in anything and everything…you just need to know the way to get out her best…and they always do better than man @_@ She is beauty lol…
Wonder that test drive Triton has gone through any modification for Leona to drive like that
