Intended buyers
Mitsubishi anticipates that 51 percent of new Triton sales will be to private buyers, 34 percent to small to medium sized businesses (including tradespeople) and large fleets will account for 15 percent.
Rigorous testing and development
The new Triton is the product of a rigorous development and testing program, which has taken the global Research & Development (R&D) team from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) to four continents.
In ensuring that the new Mitsubishi Triton was honed for the unique environment and demands of Australian drivers, MMC’s R&D team worked closely with in-house engineering expertise at MMAL.
The result is a new-age light commercial utility vehicle that not only delivers on technology, performance, safety and capability, but does so with a sophisticated ride and handling blend that is at-home in Australian conditions.
The Mitsubishi Triton’s significantly uprated suspension system is complemented by new-design 17- and 18-inch wheels.
The workhorse GLX 4 x 2 receives 17-inch steel wheels fitted with 265/65R17 highway-terrain tyres, while GLX 4 x 4 gains 265/65/R17 all-terrain tyres.
GLX+ benefits from a 17-inch alloy wheel design with 265/65/R17 all-terrains.
Moving to the premium GLS grade brings a sophisticated, multi-spoke alloy wheel design wrapped in 265/60/R18 highway rubber, and the flagship GSR gains a unique black-finish alloy of similar design.
Longer, wider, more load capacity
The new Triton features a longer wheelbase and is slightly longer and wider, enhancing cabin space, comfort and load capacity.
| Dimension (Dual Cab models) | Measure (change) |
| Body length | 5320mm (+15mm) |
| Body width | 1865mm (+50mm) |
| Wheelbase | 3130mm (+130mm) |
| Tray length | 1555mm (+35mm) |
| Front shoulder room | 1479mm (+49mm) |
| Hip point couple | 780mm (+40mm) |
3.5-tonne towing across the range

All Wheel Control combines four drivetrain settings and seven drive modes to maximise capability
