Here’s the reason Triton makes light work of heavy loads. It’s the 2.5L High-Power Common Rail Diesel. In building this engine, we used technology we developed for our commercial trucks. The result is a power plant that trumps anything in its class.
5-speed Manual
5-speed Auto with Sports Mode (GLS Sport)
Just like the choice of body types and accessories, Triton’s gearbox options let you put together a vehicle for your exact needs. For serious towing and off-road capability, there’s the 5-speed manual.
Triton Double Cab GLX Wellside offers the choice of 4-speed automatic or our advanced 5-speed auto with Sports Mode. The Sports Mode setting enables the automatic to function like a manual, but without a clutch. This makes for near-instant gear changes, very handy when you’re on slippery surfaces.
Airbags for driver and passenger come as standard on all models of Triton. These airbags are dual-stage, which is the safest, most effective way to inflate the airbags and lessen injury.
For added safety, GLS and GLX models feature side and curtain airbags as well. If you need to place a child restrain in the front, you can deactivate the passenger airbag with the key mechanism in the glove box.
Mitsubishi’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution body design, or RISE, makes Triton stiff and, therefore, safer in a collision. It means that the cabin area keeps its shape, while energy of the impact is transferred away. A stiff chassis also makes for better driving and handling of large loads.
Wherever you get to in your Triton, the R/D Lock button gets you out. It engages the Rear Diff Lock, which sends equal power to both back wheels, keeping them turning and, more importantly, gripping in even the slushiest conditions.
With the remarkable engine on board, Triton goes. Thanks to big ventilated front disc and rear drum brakes, it stops just as well.
