The New Mitsubishi Triton – Body Technology

[RG76]

Nice car except for the rear overhang...its needs the short tub like the ML.

This is guaranteed to scrape on decent inclines/declines without a considerable suspension or body lift. Can't imagine taking it down some rock steps

X2. I just drove a triton off-road this week and the slightest incline/decline and the damn thing was scraping its bum. Any worse and I reckon it would got hung up. They need less over hang.

Single cab .. club cab .. double cab .. flat bed tray etc ... there are a lot of variables to suit ...
would be interesting to see the approach angles front/rear with the variety of different models

The new 2016 Mitsubishi Triton has been designed with a sleek, athletic and muscular exterior styling to give the new generation range a commanding and more sophisticated on-road presence. Continuing on from the previous generation, we have initiated a concept called the Sport Utility Truck, which means the Triton is also suitable for private and family use alongside its primary commercial duty.



The 2016 Triton utilises the traditional Triton sporty design characteristics, whilst adopting new design philosophies with new styling lines flowing from the grille and headlamps to project a fresh sense of strength, solidity and absolute toughness. From the side, Triton has a unified look between the cabin and the cargo tray, using a tensioned muscular surface and strongly modulated lines to evoke an athletic and sporty appearance distinctive to the Triton range. Towards the rear, Triton’s distinctive rear tail lights wrap around the sides of the tub for an integrated aesthetic, while the rear bumper serves to complete the unified nature of the body.

With a low drag coefficient of only 0.42, the Mitsubishi Triton is highly aerodynamic. This has been achieved by smoothing the Triton’s front bumper, roof trailing edge and tub, and contributes to overall vehicle stability at highway speeds as well as higher fuel efficiency.

Whilst the new 2016 Triton has progressed in aesthetic design, there have also been significant improvements to the safety of body for both occupants and pedestrians. The Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) crash safety body has been adopted, optimizing chassis and cabin strength to efficiently absorb collisions from all directions and effectively disperse impact energy. The RISE body achieves this by using higher strength steels used for the side sills, center pillars and floor for an enclosed safety ‘cage’ design.

Pedestrian protection has also been improved with Triton’s energy absorbing frontal impact structure, which extends from the front bumper, bonnet, cowl and undercarriage structure.
