11. The Triton from Mitsubishi

Years of Model: 1978–1995 Average Repair Cost: $535 per year The Drive claims that the Mitsubishi Triton truck has always been a "bit of a favourite" because of its "no fuss approach" to the dual-cab pickup concept. Since the late 1970s, the Triton has been manufactured in a number of nations, earning a reputation for being reasonably priced and low-maintenance.

Over the first ten years of ownership, they cost an average of $7,786 to maintain and repair, which is thousands less than the industry average for premium vehicles (Car Edge). The 2010 SC was the last model year to be retired, so it is now an older automobile on the road.
