    2022 Mitsubishi Triton Boot Space

    Unbraked towing capacity is 750kg across the entire range, while braked varies. It’s 1800kg in the petrol GLX, 2500kg in the diesel single cab-chassis, and 3000-3100kg across the rest of the range.

    2022 Mitsubishi Triton Safety Rating

    Crash tester ANCAP awarded the Triton five stars in 2015 with a score of 36.22 out of 37 against older criteria.

    It has seven airbags including side curtains for both rows, two ISOFIX and top-tether child seat attachment points, child door and window locks, and a long list of driver-assist features including:

    • Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection
    • Lane-departure warning
    • Blind-spot monitoring
    • Rear cross-traffic alert
    • Auto high-beam
    • Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation

    This last system kills the throttle if, for instance, you engage Drive instead of Reverse near a forward obstacle. Some jokingly call this an elderly driver assistance function.

    Cost of ownership

    What is the running and servicing costs of a Mitsubishi Triton?

    All Mitsubishi Triton’s need servicing every 12 Months months or 15,000km km, whichever comes first.

    How does the 2022 Mitsubishi Triton drive?

    Our expert take on Mitsubishi Triton drivability.

    The engine is refined and quiet by class standards, with the body and steering wheel at idle largely free of vibration.

    While it’s down on power and torque compared to a few competitors it’s worth nothing the Triton is lighter – at 1990kg, it weighs 220kg less than a Ranger and 55kg less than a HiLux.

    It pulls along fine albeit gruffly under a heavy throttle, and sits happily at 110km/h at about 1800rpm in sixth, quietly enough to make phone calls without necessitating a loud voice.

    It uses leaf springs at the rear like most pickups – Nissan Navara aside – and like most the body jiggles and the ride pogos a little when unladen, while corrugations are felt in your hands through the hydraulically assisted steering.

    It’s not as composed as a Ranger or as sharp-handling as the almost SUV-like Amarok, but it’s also far from a class outlier. Indeed, the steering is nicely weighted and consistent, and the Triton’s relative lightness makes it feel almost nimble at times.

    The maximum payload is 910kg, which is 81kg less than the Ranger’s and 45kg less than a HiLux’s. Its gross combination mass of 5885kg means that at maximum payload you can still legally tow anything up to 2985kg.

    If there’s one obvious potential shortcoming it’s the particularly long rear overhang. For instance the Triton is only 77mm shorter than a Ranger overall yet 220mm shorter between the wheels. This potentially makes it a smidgen trickier to balance loads and gives it a large departure angle when off-roading.

    On the upside, this three-metre wheelbase gives the Triton a smaller-than-average 11.8m turning circle, which is particularly useful in urban conditions or navigating a cluttered building site, but also has useful applications on tight trails.

    2022 Mitsubishi Triton Warranty

    What is the warranty on a Mitsubishi Triton?

    Should you buy the 2022 Mitsubishi Triton

    Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.

    The Triton has two big selling points: its price, and its excellent Super Select four-wheel drive system.

    On the price front, it offers almost all the equipment and capability of a range-topping HiLux and Ranger, but has a sticker in the $50,000 price range at the very top end.

    Super Select makes the Triton easier to drive on wet roads, by allowing owners to use all-wheel drive on paved roads instead of limiting four-wheel drive to gravel or sand.

    The car's compact proportions (relative to the rest of the dual-cab class) make it friendlier to drive in town, too.
