The GLX-R nameplate is returning for the new-generation Mitsubishi Triton ute, according to a dealer leak.
A Mitsubishi dealership, Lindenberg & Co. – approximately 2.5 hours west of Brisbane – uploaded a post to Facebook, heralding the arrival of the new Triton GLX-R.
We’ve seen this badge applied to the Triton before, but not on the current-generation model which debuted earlier this year.

Pricing for the GLX-R is yet to be confirmed by Mitsubishi Australia, which hasn’t officially added the new variant to its local lineup yet.
“We are not in a position to comment on any future product plans until they are confirmed,” a Mitsubishi Australia spokesperson said.
We do know what equipment the Triton GLX-R has thanks to the dealership’s post.
Based on the GLX+, it gains some equipment from the higher-spec GLS including standard-duty rear suspension (in place of the GLX+’s heavy-duty setup), the Super Select 4WD II system, and highway terrain Maxxis tyres.
The GLX-R’s black sports bar and 18-inch alloy wheels are borrowed from the flagship GSR, while a leather-wrapped steering wheel and carpet flooring also feature.
It continues to be powered by a 2.4-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine, producing 150kW of power at 3500rpm and 470Nm of torque from 1500-2750rpm.
A six-speed automatic transmission is standard. No Triton in Australia is available yet with a six-speed manual.
All Mitsubishi Tritons are backed by a 10-year, 200,000km warranty if you service the ute through Mitsubishi dealers.
