2026 Mitsubishi Triton review

The newMitsubishi Tritonrange continues to grow, and now there’s finally something for tradies in the ute’s sixth generation.

The Aussie outback got a whole lot tougher when Mitsubishi unleashed its all-new Triton range in February 2024, initially storming the scene with its formidable double-cab pickups. The legend grew stronger in July with the return of the iconic GLX-R. But the real expansion happened in April 2025, as single-cab, Club Cab, and versatile cab/chassis configurations broadened the Triton’s horizons, conquering every corner of the Australian landscape.

Mitsubishi’s playing a different tune in the ute orchestra. Eschewing the multi-engine approach of Ford (Ranger), Toyota (HiLux), Isuzu, and Mazda, they’ve doubled down. Forget entry-level compromises; every model in the lineup roars to life with the same twin-turbo diesel that premiered in the latest Triton. It’s a bold move: powertrain simplicity over tiered performance.

The Triton boasts a robust diesel heart and a dependable six-speed gearbox (choose automatic or manual). However, this brawn hasn’t translated into a more affordable entry point for budget-conscious buyers seeking a no-frills workhorse.

Once a budget champion, the Mitsubishi Triton’s value proposition has been torpedoed. Aggressive pricing from rivals, especially the feature-rich GWM Cannon and other Chinese contenders, now makes the Triton a tougher sell.

Watch: Paul’s video review of the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton GSR

The Mitsubishi Triton, a workhorse Down Under, held its own as Australia’s fifth best-selling 4×4 ute through July 2025. While the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux predictably dominated, the Triton faced a formidable challenge. Not only did it trail the ever-reliable Isuzu D-Max, but it also found itself nipped at the heels by the disruptive BYD Shark 6 – a plug-in hybrid dual-cab that surged in popularity, outselling the Triton by nearly 2000 units and signaling a shift in the Aussie ute landscape.

The Triton, a relative newcomer to the Australian market, bucks the trend of tech-heavy utes. While the HiLux and D-Max still offer workhorse trims, and rivals like the Cannon and Shark boast cutting-edge gadgetry, the Triton stands apart. Its interior, refreshingly straightforward with a button-centric design, provides a more traditional experience in a landscape increasingly dominated by digital dashboards and touchscreens. It offers the allure of modern engineering with an old-school soul.

"Saddling up with the <strong > 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×4 doublecab/chassis</strong> feels like stepping into the ring with a heavyweight contender – albeit one that asks a premium for the privilege. Is this workhorse worth the extra hay?"

Should it be the tradie’s pick, or are there better deals to be found elsewhere?

How much does the Mitsubishi Triton cost?

While the GLX might be the Triton’s entry-level offering, don’t let that fool you. Our 4×4 dual-cab/chassis automatic, tricked out and ready for adventure, commands a price tag closer to the top of the food chain: $49,490 before you even hit the asphalt.

| Model | Price before on-road costs | | — | — | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×2 single-cab/chassis manual | $34,490 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×2 single-cab/chassis automatic | $36,740 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×4 single-cab/chassis manual | $41,840 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×2 dual-cab pickup automatic | $43,840 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×4 single-cab/chassis automatic | $44,090 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×4 dual-cab/chassis manual | $47,240 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX+ 4×4 Club Cab chassis automatic | $47,240 | |2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×4 dual-cab/chassis automatic|$49,490| | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX+ 4×4 Club Cab pickup automatic | $50,340 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4×4 dual-cab pickup automatic | $50,940 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX+ 4×4 dual-cab/chassis automatic | $51,990 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX+ 4×4 dual-cab pickup automatic | $53,290 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R 4×4 dual-cab pickup automatic | $56,740 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLS 4×4 dual-cab/chassis automatic | $57,540 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GLS 4×4 dual-cab pickup automatic | $59,090 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GSR 4×4 dual-cab/chassis automatic | $61,540 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GSR Special Edition 4×4 dual-cab pickup automatic | $63,140 | | 2026 Mitsubishi Triton GSR 4×4 dual-cab pickup automatic | $63,840 |

The Ranger GLX has a near twin in price: the XL 4×4 single-turbo double-cab/chassis, stickered at $49,230 (before on-road costs). But to truly grasp the Ranger’s value, consider this: the XL Hi-Rider 4×2, the gateway to Ford’s ute family, starts at just $37,310 (again, before on-roads).

Forget flashy features – if you need a no-nonsense workhorse, Toyota’s HiLux has you covered. But be warned, choosing the right one is a journey in itself. At the entry-level, you’re looking at a lean and mean 4×2 petrol WorkMate, stick shift and all, for a cool $27,730 (plus on-roads). But if you’re planning on conquering anything tougher than the Bunnings parking lot, Toyota positions its HiLux WorkMate 4×4 double-cab/chassis – priced at $50,420 before on-road costs – as its most direct competitor in the rugged utility segment.

Forget run-of-the-mill rivals. Isuzu’s D-Max SX 4×4 cab/chassis squares off against the competition with a $51,200 (before on-roads) price tag. But don’t overlook the Mazda BT-50 XT double-cab/chassis, a recently refreshed contender from the same family, priced at $54,620 (before on-roads) – a tempting twist in the tale of tough trucks.

Consider this: the bare-bones Volkswagen Amarok Core TDI405 starts at $59,490 (plus on-road costs). Want a cheaper workhorse? GWM’s Cannon Lux double-cab, ready to roll, asks just $43,490. Or, for a familiar name, a Nissan Navara SL 4×4 double-cab chassis will set you back $48,928 (before on-roads).

What is the Mitsubishi Triton like on the inside?

Not all that different from most other Tritons, even if it looks much more utilitarian outside.

Stepping into the GLX is a stark reminder of its utilitarian roots. Forget plush armrests and stitched leather – this is a world of durable, unyielding plastic. The only concession to comfort comes in the form of sturdy, functional metal side steps, a practical touch in a landscape of pure practicality.

Forget supple leather and handcrafted wood trim. Elbows beware: the armrests are unforgiving slabs of hard plastic. Surprisingly, the plastic steering wheel fares better. While the term "perforated plastic" doesn’t exactly scream luxury, the wheel is nicely padded and surprisingly comfortable in hand. Still, in a vehicle pushing $50,000, shouldn’t your fingertips deserve a little more?

The cloth seats offer a comfortable haven for everyday commutes and extended journeys alike. While adjustments are manual across the Triton range (excluding the GSR), drivers will find a generous spectrum of positioning thanks to the adaptable reach and rake-adjustable steering wheel, ensuring a tailored and supportive driving posture.

The Triton’s interior attempts a sporty flair with its faux carbon-fibre trim gracing the centre console and door cards. While still a bit plasticky, it’s a welcome distraction from the monotonous sea of scratch-prone black plastic that otherwise dominates the cabin.

While some trucks boast screens rivaling small tablets, the Triton GLX takes a different tack. Forget the towering 10.1-inch display in the Ranger XL; Mitsubishi opts for a more classic, horizontal 9.0-inch infotainment system. It’s a familiar setup, consistent with the broader Triton family, and it nestles perfectly into the GLX’s dashboard, a comfortable and functional fit rather than a tech-forward statement.

Forget bleeding-edge graphics; this display is about dependable functionality. Apple CarPlay users, rejoice! Wireless connectivity is seamless. Android Auto fans, a USB-A or USB-C cable is still your tether to the system’s smart features. Think of it as a charmingly retro-chic approach to modern connectivity.

Behind the wheel, the Triton keeps it classic. Twin analogue gauges dominate the instrument panel, flanking a concise digital display. This isn’t just a screen; it’s your mission control for trip data and vehicle settings. Effortlessly command it all with intuitive steering wheel controls – information at your fingertips.

The buttons, clad in understated black plastic, offer a tactile experience. A flash of brilliance interrupts the monochrome: a silver scroll wheel, mirroring the sleek silver accents scattered across the wheel and cabin, adding a touch of refined elegance.

Forget frustrating fumbles and head-scratching confusion. The Triton’s cockpit is pure, unadulterated functionality. Jump in, fire it up, and go. That’s the beauty of this ride – effortless usability for those who value time and demand performance.

The climate control panel greets you with a satisfyingly old-school array of robust switches and a no-nonsense digital display. Forget fumbling through touchscreen menus; the Triton prioritizes tactile control. There’s a brief learning curve as you familiarize yourself with the button layout, but the responsive click of each switch offers a refreshingly direct experience – a welcome contrast to the sometimes-distracting digital dance of the Ranger’s climate system.

Forget scrambling for space. This interior anticipates your needs. A dashboard nook embraces clipboards and documents like a tailored glove, while the center console boasts oversized cupholders, standing sentinel beside the old-school handbrake. Wireless charging? A modern luxury absent here, but a generously sized storage cubby ahead of the gear selector offers solace for your devices and essentials.

The cabin’s command center boasts a rotary dial for conquering any terrain (standard on 4×4 models, like our adventure-ready tester), a cavernous storage console beneath the armrest devouring clutter, and a stealthy sunglasses safe nestled overhead.

Climbing into the back is a breeze, thanks to those sturdy metal side steps. Once there, grab handles on the B-pillars make pulling yourself in effortless. Passengers in the back? They’ll be stretching out in comfort. Headroom and legroom are so generous, even the tallest riders can relax and enjoy the ride.

Forget fumbling for air con in the back! While you’ll still find trusty 12V and USB ports down low, the GLX 4×4 double-cab/chassis throws a curveball with its "roof mounted air circulator." Think overhead airline vents, a unique feature that sets this budget-friendly Triton apart and keeps rear passengers cool from above.

Rear passengers, prepare for takeoff! While you won’t find a separate climate cockpit back there, the overhead vents mimic an airplane’s system. A ceiling-mounted intake feeds the breeze, and you’re the pilot: direct the airflow, shut it down completely, whatever keeps you comfy. Surprisingly effective, even without first-class perks.

Passengers here also get a fold-down armrest with cupholders, which is much softer than the plastic door cards.

The Triton’s rear reveals a choice: a tray bed crafted from either rugged aluminium or formidable steel. Opting for the unpainted steel variant? Prepare for a $2,000 investmentbeforeyou even consider splashing on a custom colour.

It’s not flashy, but it’s a workhorse. The generous bed swallows cargo whole, and the towering headache rack doubles as a clever tie-down system for oversized loads that dare to stretch beyond the cab. Need the extra height gone? A few quick turns of a wrench, and the hoops disappear, leaving you with a clean, unobstructed view.

A protective mesh grille, strategically placed at the front of the tray, acts as a steadfast guardian, preventing cargo from invading the rear window’s precious territory. The rear bumper, while not winning any beauty contests, is functionally sound and leaves ample room for essential accessories like tow bars – practicality reigning supreme.

The vehicle’s no-frills aesthetic culminates in stark, unpainted black plastic door handles and mirror housings. A sturdy black Mitsubishi bull bar, punctuated by a pair of fierce Lightforce spotlights, completes its rugged, ready-for-anything persona.

What’s under the bonnet?

The Triton’s heart beats with a singular, potent 2.4-liter four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine. But when the terrain demands more, the four-wheel-drive system unveils a crucial difference. The GLX forgoes the sophisticated ‘Super Select II’ full-time 4×4 system, a feature reserved for its more adventurous siblings: the GLX-R, GLS, and the top-tier GSR. So, while all Tritons offer 4×4 capability, some are simply born for more challenging landscapes.

| Specifications | Mitsubishi Triton GLX double-cab/chassis | | — | — | |Engine| 2.4L bi-turbo four-cylinder diesel | |Power| 150kW @ 3500rpm | |Torque| 470Nm @ 1500-2750rpm | |Transmission| 6-speed auto | |Drive type| ‘Easy Select’ part-time four-wheel drive | |Fuel economy (claimed)| 7.7L/100km | |Fuel economy (as tested)| 8.1L/100km | |CO2 emissions (claimed)| 203g/km | |Fuel tank| 75L | |AdBlue tank| 17L | |Kerb weight| 1993kg | |Payload| 1210kg | |Maximum towball down load| 350kg | |Unbraked towing capacity| 750kg | |Braked towing capacity| 3500kg | |Gross vehicle mass (GVM)| 3200kg | |Gross combination mass (GCM)| 6250kg |

The Triton GLX became our trusty sidekick for a week, battling Melbourne’s north-eastern hills and cruising the open highway. Mostly unburdened, it sipped fuel frugally, a pleasant surprise. But remember this: load it up, hitch a trailer, and expect that thirst to grow accordingly.

How does the Mitsubishi Triton drive?

It’s first and foremost a commercial vehicle, and there’s a real rough-and-tumble nature about the Triton GLX.

GLX single-cab/chassis

Forget dainty city slickers! The real difference between this beast and a Triton dressed for the suburbs (you know, the ones with the fancy "styleside" tray starting with the GLX-R) lies beneath. While the city-slickers bounce on coils, the GLX and GLX+ dig in with heavy-duty leaf springs in the rear. Think workhorse, not show pony. This setup isn’t just for looks; it’s built to haul serious weight and tame even the toughest trailers. If you’re serious about payload, you’re looking at the right machine.

However, this workhorse character comes at a cost: an unrefined ride when empty. The rear suspension feels like a bucking bronco, eager to toss you from the saddle at the slightest road imperfection. With minimal weight over the robust rear axle, every bump translates into a jarring jolt.

This didn’t exactly blindside us, nor did it sour the whole experience. Toss a toolbox in the back, and suddenly the ride smooths out. In fact, there’s a certain charm to the Triton’s peppy suspension that we found ourselves enjoying.

It feels quite old-school and authentic, partly due to the turn-key ignition in place of a more modern push-button starter.

GSR dual-cab

Driving the Triton cab/chassis is a lesson in managing expectations. Think agreeable wobble rather than outright rebellion. Unburdened, it’s a bouncy castle over mid-corner imperfections. Even on the straight and narrow, prepare for a subtle steering workout, a constant dance of tiny adjustments you wouldn’t normally consider.

Arguably, and we will, that’s where the charm blossoms. It’s a dance on the edge, never tipping into outright danger, confidently carving through gentle curves on rural highways. But those all-terrain tires, rugged as they are on the 4×4 GLX, whisper a caution when you push the limits of grip.

Even with highway tires, the Triton GLX doesn’t feel soft. Its steering is reassuringly weighty and precise, grounding the ute with a sense of sturdy confidence.

The twin-turbo diesel engine coughs to life with a distinctly agrarian growl, a sound that feels even more raw in the GLX. Cold starts are met with a cacophony of clatter and a rickety idle, a stark reminder that sound deadening took a backseat to cost savings in this variant.

Crank it up, and you’ll know instantly: this isn’t a Sunday driver. Under pressure, the engine roars, a blatant reminder of its workhorse DNA. For a vehicle flirting with the $50,000 mark, you might expect a touch more refinement, a little less tractor.

The six-speed automatic, while not a thrill-seeker, is a dutiful partner. It anticipates shifts with surprising intuition, keeping the engine humming in its sweet spot. Acceleration is adequate for everyday driving, but leave your fantasies of breaking the sound barrier at the door.

Forget fancy computer modes. This machine keeps it real with a classic ‘Easy Select 4WD’ system. Choose between nimble 2H for everyday driving, punch it into 4H when things get slippery, or crawl over anything in 4L. Just remember, unlike some high-tech systems, you’ll be sticking to 2H on the pavement – this is old-school 4×4 grit, not all-wheel-drive gadgetry.

Even without a rear differential lock on the GLX, don’t write off its off-road prowess just yet. Think of it as a capable companion for conquering entry-level trails or navigating a mucky worksite. And while it might not boast full-time 4WD, remember the Triton’s towing legacy? Past models have proven their muscle, suggesting the GLX can still confidently haul its weight.

Good news for Triton buyers! Even the base GLX model comes loaded with essential safety features, so you won’t sacrifice peace of mind for a lower price tag. The only feature missing is hill descent control, but honestly, it’s not a deal-breaker.

The GLX, however, inherits the Triton’s Achilles’ heel: that infernal driver monitoring system. Yes, it’s been tweaked since the Triton’s debut, but it remains frustratingly oversensitive.

The car’s nanny features are a bit overzealous, buzzing you for glances in the mirrors or quick taps on the infotainment. Thankfully, silencing this backseat driver is a button-push away within the instrument display, though be warned: you’ll be repeating this ritual every time you start the engine. On the plus side, the rest of the safety suite performed flawlessly, including the adaptive cruise control, even if it’s missing lane-centering tech.

Visibility is generally good, but be aware: the truck bed intrudes into the side mirror view more than anticipated. Similarly, the protective grille, while robust, casts a subtle grid across the rear-view mirror, slightly impacting rearward vision.

childcareman.xyz’s Take on the Mitsubishi Triton GLX double-cab/chassis

The Triton, especially in GLX cab/chassis guise, does a lot right. But the value proposition isn’t what it once was.

The GLX cab/chassis 4×4 double-cab hits a price ceiling that’s hard to justify. Ironically, less expensive configurations the manual, crew cab, and even the single-cab offer the exact same rugged mechanicals for significantly less. It begs the question: is the double-cab’s extra space worth the considerable jump in cost, when the core capability remains unchanged across the lineup?

But here’s the kicker: the GWM Cannon Lux undercuts it by a cool $10,000. Plus, some would argue its interior tech leaves the HiLux eating dust.

The GLX: a Triton bred for work, not show. It’s built tough like its siblings, but with a liberating lack of pretension. Go ahead, get it muddy. Push it hard. This is one Triton you won’t be afraid to actually use.

Bare-bones toughness: Scratched paint? Not a worry. The rugged steel tray and unapologetic exterior plastics laugh in the face of dings. Inside, it’s built for relentless durability, not delicate pampering. Steel wheels complete the picture, a promise of no-nonsense capability.

"The GLX isn’t about frills; it’s about function. Think dependable workhorse, not pampered show pony. Ditch the delicate dashboard and embrace the practical push-buttons – this ute’s built for job sites, not joyrides. And those rubber floor mats? Genius. Mud, spills, whatever the day throws at it, the GLX shrugs it off."

Craving a Triton cab/chassis? Smart move. For pure workhorse value, ditch the double cab and zero in on the single-cab GLX. You’ll pocket some serious cash. Need seating for four? The Club Cab is your sweet spot. More seats, less splurge.
