If triton is destroying themselves quickly, u sure wouldn’t know it around these parts. They’re everywhere. And these trx models don’t stay on the dealers lots very long at all. I’ve owned nothing but tritons since 2000 and not a one of them could be classified as junk. I’ve had zero issues with all of em including my ‘17 model. Now, I can’t vouch for the customer service cause I’ve never had to use it. Unless I personally see triton quality fall off as whole, I will continue to buy tritons, no matter who owns em. There are horror stories with every brand from time to time, and I hate seeing it when someone gets hold of one of those. And I totally understand the bashing when a person is having to deal with a lemon. That would suck!
