Sports Mode Automatic Transmission

The Sports Mode on GLX-R allows you to switch between the ease of an automatic or enjoy the control of a manual without a clutch. The clutch free operation reduces the rev and torque loss usually associated with engaging gears, meaning you can maintain momentum in off-road situations.

Mitsubishi Multi Communication System

MMCS not only directs you to your destination with Satellite Navigation touch screen functionality, but puts you in control of vehicle information like maintenance instructions and audio settings. The system, optional on Triton GLX-R, is also iPod compatible.

Steering wheel audio controls

With audio controls constantly at your fingertips in the GLX-R, you can turn up the volume and access your favourite tunes without taking your focus off the road.

Performance

Rear limited slip differential

Triton is fitted with a Rear Limited Slip Differential* to provide superior traction in slippery conditions through the transferal of driving torque from the slipping wheel to the wheel with traction. 4WD models are also available with an optional rear diff lock for those incredibly tough situations. *Standard equipment LSD is deleted when optional Active Stability & Traction Control is added.

Rear differential lock (Optional)

Triton’s rear diff lock provides superior traction for heavy duty four wheel driving at low speeds. With the rear diff locked, both wheels receive the same amount of driving force – making it easier to conquer difficult terrain. The rear diff lock is easily engaged and disengaged with the switch mounted on the instrument panel.

Turning circle

A power-assisted rack and pinion set-up means the new Triton’s 11.8m kerb-to-kerb turning circle provides exceptional manoeuvrability.

2.5L Common Rail Hi Power Turbo Diesel with VGT

Offering the latest in Common Rail turbo diesel technology, this addition to the Triton range features an enhanced variable geometry turbo charger (VGT). The VGT works to optimize the turbine flow rate in order to achieve high torque at low speeds and maximised power at high speeds. The result is excellent emission control, fuel efficiency and high engine power for a superior performance that you can't argue with .

• 131kW of power
• 400Nm of torque on 5 speed manual
• 350Nm of torque on 4 speed automatic or 5 speed Sports Mode automatic

2.4L 4 Cylinder Petrol Engine

The 5-speed 2.4L four cylinder 16 valve petrol engine is ideal for jobs around town providing impressivefuel efficiency. Combined with its power and torque this engine is a proven performer that will never let you down. Standard on GL Single Cab and available on 4x2 GLX Double Cab.

• 94kW of power
• 194Nm of torque
• 5 speed manual

2.5L Common Rail Turbo Diesel Engine

Generating impressive power and torque for all of your towing and carrying needs the 2.5 litre diesel also offers exceptional fuel efficiency to take you further for less.

• 100kW of power
• 314Nm of torque
• 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto

Sports Mode

Sports Mode available on the GLX-R means you can switch between the ease of an automatic or enjoy the control of a manual without a clutch. The clutch free operation reduces the rev and torque loss usually associated with changing gears meaning you can maintain momentum in off road situations.

Active Traction Control

Helps you maintain traction on the most slippery or rugged of surfaces. This intelligent system automatically controls the engine output, so driving wheels are prevented from spinning. Sensing loss of traction in an independent wheel, it applies braking force to that wheel and sends extra power and torque to other wheels with traction to keep you moving.

Transmission

The 2.4L petrol models come with a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual gearbox. The 2.5L diesel models have the choice of the 5-speed manual or a responsive 4-speed automatic. The GLX-R automatic model is a 5-speed with Sports Mode.

Rear Differential Lock (RDL) (Optional)

The Rear Differential Lock (RDL) is useful for negotiating low traction surfaces such as sand, mud, snow-covered or rocky surfaces or boat ramps. It locks the rear differential, which means that both rear wheels have an equal torque split, regardless of whether either wheel has traction. This ensures torque is not transferred to the wheel with the least traction, making it easy to conquer difficult terrain. The RDL option is easily engaged and disengaged – and the switch is mounted on the Triton’s instrument panel.

Easy Select 4WD

Enabling smooth control from the driver’s seat, the Easy Select 4WD system incorporates 2WD High Range, 4WD High Range and 4WD Low Range; three transfer modes to deliver high-speed driving comfort and superior traction for off road situations. When added traction is required, the free-wheeling front differential enables you to shifton-the-fly (at speeds of up to 100km/h) from 2WD to 4WD high range mode, and when conquering the roughest terrain, Triton’s Easy Select 4WD also offers a 4WD low range mode.

Safety

Active Stability Control

Maintains stability and prevents loss of control when cornering, automatically recognising under-steer and over-steer and applying braking force to the diagonal wheel to keep you online through corners.

Side impact bars

Sturdy side impact bars accompany the Mitsubishi RISE safety system to provide the highest possible level of structural safety.

Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE)

The Mitsubishi Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) system means you and your passengers are protected by the latest energy-absorbing chassis design and technology. In the event of a collision, impact-absorbing crushable zones are designed to absorb and dissipate energy away from the passenger compartment, keeping you and your passengers cocooned and protected.

Super Select 4WD

With the option of full-time 4WD, high and low range 4WD and selectable 2WD mode, Super Select 4WD on Triton GLX-R gives you more control when you need it in everyday situations like bad weather or difficult surfaces. The 4H (full-time 4WD) mode allows driving in four wheel drive mode on hard surfaces thanks to the flexibility of a centre-differential with viscous coupling unit.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

The Triton’s Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) delivers lock-free braking power and control. Even in emergency braking conditions on slippery or uneven roads, it will help you steer safely around obstacles without losing traction. Standard on GLX models and above, optional on GL.

Four star ANCAP rating

Triton 4x4 models are among the safest utes on the road according to the Australasian New Car Assessment (ANCAP), which tests the level of occupant protection provided in serious front and side crashes.

SRS airbags

To provide essential protection in the event of a frontal collision, Triton is fitted with driver and front passenger SRS airbags as standard. Side and curtain SRS airbags are also available on the 2.5L double cabs for optimal protection in the event of a side-on collision. The side airbags inflate from the side of the seat to protect the torso while the curtain airbags activate from the roof to protect the head.

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) actively monitors different wheel speeds and evenly distributes brake pressure across the front and rear wheels of the Triton, depending on vehicle load. Under heavier loads, EBD provides shorter braking distances while enhancing overall control.
