Triton Raider – We’ve spoken before about the special edition Mitsubishi Triton Raider. This is a joint development between Mitsubishi and specialist manufacturer Premcar.
Based on the top model GSR the Triton Raider adds both functional and cosmetic appeal.
This is achieved by implementing a unique front and rear suspension damper package.
With the front damper utilising an internal rebound spring to maximise suspension control, was developed for Raider. A front spring and bump stop was also deployed.
There is also an upgraded frontal bash plate that is laser cut with Raider wording.
Premcar engineering team selected the Bridgestone AT002 all-terrain tyres, matched to a heavier-duty ROH ‘Assault’ 18-inch alloy wheel. These wheels are finished in a distinctive Brushed Bronze with specific ‘Raider’ hub caps.
Overall front clearance has increased by 25 mm from the combination suspension and wheel and tyres. The rear sees a 15mm lift from the wheels and tyres.
Overall wheel track has also widened by 20mm front and back.
The YAMAHA Performance Damper system which debuted in the 26MY Triton GSR is retained. This horizontally-mounted damper connects to the chassis to further enhance NVH performance.
There are some other cosmetic exterior additions to enhance the appeal.
Inside, the Triton Raider enjoys all the key equipment found in the top-spec GSR.
The black leather seats feature orange stitching, with the addition of Raider branded front headrests and a further Raider badge fitted to the centre console.
Available by mid-June in dealer showrooms, the Triton Raider will be priced from $74,990 plus the usual costs.
