Versatility and Practicality: A Vehicle for Every Occasion

Robust Design and Enhanced Performance
The all-new Triton is built on a newly developed frame chassis, constructed with high-tensile steel for superior strength and durability. The chassis boasts a 65% larger cross-sectional area compared to the previous model, resulting in 40% greater bending rigidity and 60% increased torsional rigidity. This means you get a vehicle that’s not only tougher but also more capable of handling heavy loads and challenging terrains.
Under the hood, the Triton AT Premium is powered by a 2.4L 4N16 Turbo Diesel engine, delivering 184 PS and 430 Nm of torque. This new two-stage turbo engine achieves higher outputs while improving environmental performance, ensuring you get the power you need without compromising on efficiency.
The Triton’s newly developed suspension system further enhances its performance. With a double-wishbone setup at the front and leaf springs at the rear, the suspension provides excellent ride comfort and steering stability. The front double wishbones have been redesigned with raised upper arm mountings, increasing suspension stroke by 20 mm for better roadholding and ride comfort. Meanwhile, the rear leaf springs feature thicker dampers, further improving ride quality.
For off-road enthusiasts, the Triton AT Premium comes equipped with an Easy Select 4WD system, offering 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (locked center differential), and 4L (low-gear driving) modes. This ensures you’re always in control, no matter the terrain.
Sporty Design and Premium Comfort
The Triton AT Premium doesn’t just perform well – it looks great too. It’s new robust styling exudes confidence and strength, while the sporty interior offers excellent functionality and operability. The leather-wrapped steering wheel adds a touch of luxury, while the 18-inch silver wheels wrapped in 265/60R18 tyres, complete the rugged yet refined look.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space that prioritises comfort and convenience. Whether you’re driving to a job site or heading out for a weekend adventure, the Triton ensures you and your passengers enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable ride.
