Mitsubishi Triton 2024

Latest Update: 2024 Mitsubishi Triton  launched in July 2023, with a starting price of $21,000.

In a captivatingly extended teasing campaign, Mitsubishi has finally unveiled the much-anticipated new Triton, a midsize pickup truck entering its sixth generation with a fresh and remarkable makeover both inside and out. Known as the L200 in certain markets, this vehicle now boasts skin-deep changes, thanks to a newly developed ladder frame, and arrives in three body styles: double cab, club cab, and single cab. A standout feature is the substantial 60 percent increase in torsional rigidity, which guarantees improved performance and handling.

Revolutionizing the build, the new Triton employs high-tensile steel, shedding off excess weight compared to its predecessor. Complementing this upgrade, a redesigned carbo bed sits 45 millimeters lower, now at 820 mm (32.2 in), facilitating easier cargo maneuvering. To boost practicality further, a bumper corner step has been integrated, fortified with a robust frame. Mitsubishi, playing it coy, hints at the truck’s growth in size, but wisely balances it out by utilizing lighter steel, mitigating any excessive weight gains.

Gearing up to challenge the Ford Ranger, the new Triton offers two advanced four-wheel-drive systems: the Super Select 4WD-II and Easy Select 4WD. The former impressively incorporates a center limited-slip differential, intelligently distributing 40 percent of the power to the front wheels while channeling the remaining 60 percent to the rear. A diverse range of selectable modes caters to different terrains and conditions, from the standard 2H (Rear-Wheel Drive) to the more specialized 4H (4x4), 4HLc (4x4 with locked center differential), and 4LLc (low-range with locked center differential). If that weren’t enough, seven driving modes — Normal, Eco, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand, and Rock — offer an even more tailored driving experience.

Not stopping there, Mitsubishi has given the Triton’s suspension a complete overhaul, introducing a new double-wishbone front paired with a lighter leaf spring setup at the rear. Models equipped with the Super Select 4WD-II system additionally benefit from the Active Yaw Control (AYC) system, gently applying the brakes to the inside front wheel, enhancing cornering prowess. For those off-road adventures, hill descent and hill start assist systems come as standard, easing any obstacles that may come your way.

Under the Triton’s robust hood, Mitsubishi has, thus far, only disclosed information about the diesel engine. Coming in three states of tune, this 2.4-liter powerhouse offers 148 horsepower (110 kilowatts) and 330 Newton-meters (243 pound-feet), 181 hp (135 kW) and 430 Nm (316 lb-ft), and the most potent configuration boasting 201 hp (150 kW) and 470 Nm (346 lb-ft). The engine can be coupled with either a six-speed automatic transmission or a shift-by-wire manual with the same number of gears, catering to diverse driving preferences.

As we feast our eyes on the visually arresting Yamabuki Orange Metallic paint job, let’s not forget the array of other attractive color options available for the 2024 Triton, including Blade Silver Metallic, White Diamond, Solid White, Jet Black Mica, and Graphite Gray Metallic. For those seeking the pinnacle of style, the range-topping versions showcase a body-colored front grille coupled with a dark titanium finish on select body parts, elevating the overall aesthetic. Notably, the images of the Triton featured here also include a rally-spec model, tailor-made to conquer the challenging Asia Cross Country Rally.

Inside the cabin, the Triton has undergone a thorough modernization, though one peculiar quirk is the retention of analog dials, which some may view as a charming nod to tradition. The climate controls enjoy a dedicated space, complemented by convenient shortcuts beneath the touchscreen. Positioned between two rotary knobs, the dashboard boasts a straightforward and functional layout, precisely what you’d expect from a reliable workhorse. The selector, neatly placed between the seats, facilitates seamless switching between 2WD and 4WD, while a dedicated button grants access to the array of driving modes, making every adventure a breeze.
