Ute manufacturers love to produce special editions. The Mitsubishi Triton Raider is such a Ute. Based on the Triton GSR, specialist engineering form Premcar have added a number of practical and cosmetic features.
These include bespoke suspension upgrades to improve the balance between on road and off-road ride and handling.
Bridgestone AT002 tyres and 18-inch ROH wheels enhance aesthetic while improving all-terrain grip and supporting ride height increase.
More practical additions include a Raider-branded heavy-duty bash plate and specific sports bar and side protection bars with red highlights.
Triton is powered by a 2.4litre turbo diesel engine that provides 150kW of power and a handy 470Nm of torque from 1500 rpm.
This drives through Mitsubishi’s clever super select 4WD 11 system with four selectable modes with shift-on-fly convenience at up to 100km/h. A six seed transmission and multiple drive modes add to the practicality.
Overall, the Triton Raider sits slightly higher and wider for more stability on dirt roads. It thrives on forest trails, on the beach and in the rough track work.
I’ve always been a fan of the Triton. Its has been a robust, dependable 4WD Ute over many years and in the current market is somewhat underappreciated.
Priced from $74,990 plus the usual costs it moves away from Mitsubishis traditional value-based buyers though.
