The Mitsubishi Triton has been updated for the 2026 model year (MY26), bringing with it a number of improvements but a reduced product range.
The updated ute range hits Australian showrooms in May.
The base manual transmission on the GLX 4×2 Single Cab Chassis, priced at $34,740 before on-road costs, has been removed. This means the range now starts with the GLX 4×2 single cab/chassis car, which is now $100 more expensive than before and is priced at $37,090 before on-road launch.
This makes the Mitsubishi just $40 cheaper than that Ford Ranger XL Hi-Rider single cab/chassis with automatic transmission, although still more expensive than that Toyota HiLux Workmate 4×2 single cab/chassis car for $35,990 excluding on-road costs.
However, you can get the HiLux Workmate 4×2 single cab/chassis manual gearbox for an even cheaper $33,990 (excluding on-road costs).

The GLX 4×4 crew cab/chassis is the only manual Triton in the reduced MY26 model range. The elimination of the manual versions of the GLX 4×2 and 4×4 single cab/chassis reduces the choice from 19 to 15 variants.
Prices are up between $100 and $300 across the range, except for the GSR, which sees a $1,000 increase, although Mitsubishi has yet to reveal the rally-inspired model The flagship Triton Raider was teased last month.
All models benefit from revised front and rear suspension, including softer front springs and performance adjustment valves for all four shocks, as well as larger diameter rear dampers.
Mitsubishi says the changes provide “improved ride comfort and less harshness” while maintaining the Triton’s “agility.” This reflects updates made to Thai-built models for the Japanese market earlier this year.
There are other changes for the sport-focused Triton GSR: It features a pair of Yamaha performance dampers mounted between its chassis beams to improve dynamics.
The front and rear mounted dampers are designed to improve body control, improve steering response and improve high-speed stability and overall refinement.
The Triton GLX-R, GLS and GSR continue to feature a “standard-duty” three-leaf rear suspension, while the GLX and GLX+ retain a “heavy-duty” four-leaf rear suspension.
All Tritons have a braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg. One tonne payload upgrades are available as a free option for the GLX-R, GLS and GSR crew cab pickup variants.
The MY26 Triton GSR also introduces Mitsubishi Connect, which was first introduced locally at the Outlander SUV in 2025 – the brand’s bestseller ahead of the Triton.
Mitsubishi Connect uses a built-in 4G modem with a Telstra connection, enabling a smartphone app that allows users to remotely view their vehicle’s location, adjust the air conditioning and lock, unlock and start the vehicle, among other features.
It also offers security features such as vehicle theft alerts and an SOS emergency call function.
No further equipment changes have been announced, nor are there any updates to the 2.4-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, which continues to produce 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox.
The GLS remains available with a $1,500 Deluxe package that adds leather upholstery with silver stitching, a power driver’s seat, and heated front seats.
As Mitsubishi’s second best-selling model in Australia in 2025, the Triton moved closer to the top of the highly competitive ute segment, taking fourth place behind the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Isuzu D-Max.
Sales of 4×4 Triton variants rose 20.1 percent in 2025 compared to the previous year, a larger increase than any other 4×4 ute except the GWM Cannon Alphawhile the 4×4 versions of the Ranger, HiLux and D-Max saw declines.
Since its launch in Australia in 2023, the current generation Triton has also formed the basis of the latest model Nissan Navarawhich was available in local showrooms this year.
Nissan’s version of the Triton carries a revised exterior design and a unique suspension tune developed by Australian engineering firm Premcar, known for vehicles such as the Navara Pro-4X Warrior and Patrol Warrior.
The Triton is expected to form the basis for a future Mitsubishi SUV Pajero Sport was pulled from local showrooms last year because it did not comply with new Australian safety regulations. A replacement, which could simply be called Pajero, has been discovered during testing.
