It incorporates technology developed in tough racing environments, resulting in a driving experience that is both robust and engaging. Features such as Active Yaw Control and advanced traction systems, borrowed from motorsports, help the Triton stay agile and stable, even when fully loaded or on rough terrain. 5. Established reliability and durability With more than 120,000 units sold in Malaysia, the Triton has built a reputation for reliability over nearly twenty years. It is regarded as a pickup that can handle both heavy-duty tasks and daily life. With a spacious cargo bed measuring 1,555mm in length and 1,545mm at its widest point, it is large enough to accommodate a Euro pallet, making it ideal for transporting tools, equipment or recreational gear. The Triton is also rated to tow up to 3,500kg. The Triton's cabin combines rugged utility with SUV-like comforts, featuring premium upholstery, wireless charging and a touchscreen infotainment system. 6. Safety features Safety is a priority for the Triton, which comes equipped with seven airbags, Hill Descent Control, Traction Control, and driver assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, all contributing to its five-star Asean NCAP rating and offering occupants peace of mind. 7. Warranty coverage The Triton includes a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, reflecting Mitsubishi's confidence in its long-term quality. Covering private use, this warranty is especially valuable for individuals and families seeking reliable transport and lasting peace of mind. 8. Comfort and convenience Priced at RM159,980 on the road (excluding insurance), the Triton is among the most accessible Japanese flagship pickups in its class. Inside the cab, it features a range of amenities typically found in luxury SUVs, offering considerable value to buyers. These include a touchscreen entertainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, premium leatherette and suede upholstery, wireless charging and a variety of storage solutions for added convenience. 9. Cost-efficient maintenance Mitsubishi Motors offers transparent, cost-effective maintenance for the Triton with genuine synthetic oils, along with a comprehensive service plan, making ownership even more convenient and worry-free. 10. Celebrated design and performance The Triton has been recognised by local and international organisations, receiving various awards, including the Vehicle of the Year 2024 (best pick-up truck category), iF Design Award 2024 (product design category), Carlist Best Pick Up Truck of the Year 2024, Japan Car of the Year (design car of the year category) and the ASEAN NCAP Grand Prix (best pick-up truck category).
