Now in its sixth generation, this all-new model ditches the old Strada name for a new one that aligns with the global market. Along with that, the all-new Triton gets loads of improvements from the inside out. 

So what can prospective buyers of the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton expect? Let’s go over its features and specs to find the answer. 

Exterior

On the outside, the all-new Triton gets a new commanding look thanks to its design's predominant use of straight lines.

Up front, the top-spec Triton Athlete gets a square-shaped grille with three horizontal slats, which is flanked by a pair of LED headlamp clusters. Above the headlamps are a pair of thin LED daytime running lamps, while more forward illumination is provided by a pair of LED fog lamps, just below the main headlamp clusters. Further down below is a grey-colored skid plate. 

From the side, the all-new Mitsubishi pickup truck gets beefy fender flares, metallic black roof rails, and a set of 18-inch black alloy wheels. This is paired with heated power-folding side mirrors and a mostly black-colored angular sports bar. From this angle, the truck likewise employs a straight body line with its hood aligning with the bed.
