    What is the towing capacity of the Mitsubishi Triton?

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Triton Mitsubishi Triton Advice

    I have a Mitsubishi Triton MK with a GVM of 2770. I would like to know how much towing weight I can use? I have a 2016 black series camper trailer with ATM of 1900kg and tare weight of 1380 kg. What towing weight do I have on the trailer?

    According to my specifications, the MK Triton, depending on its specification (engine type, body layout and drive system) has a towing capacity (of a braked trailer) of between 1500kg and 2200kg. At the lower end of that, your caravan when fully loaded would exceed that limit. Older utes like the MK Triton also – generally – have smaller payload and towing ratings than their newer relatives, but it’s also important to take into account the Gross Combination Mass limit which amounts to the total weight of the vehicle and whatever it’s towing. Again, in some cases, the Triton has a low GVM limit of just 4010kg which, even with your caravan at its lightest (unladen) would take your combination very close to that limit. At that point you also need to consider what you carry, including all your gear and even the weight of passengers on board. Fill the fuel tank or the van’s water tank and you could be in legal trouble if anything goes wrong. A visit to a weighbridge (some council tips have them) might be a good idea to see how close to the edge you really are.
