The Triton is one of the best-selling diesel utes outside of the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux duopoly, competing with the similarly-priced Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50.

It is Mitsubishi’s second best-seller behind the Outlander SUV. 

The first of the two new Triton models is a tradie-targeted version of the GLX-R dual-cab pick-up, which starts from $58,490 (before on-road costs) - $1250 more than the standard variant of the car. 

The GLX-R is an upgraded version of the GLX, and has 18-inch black alloy wheels among other up-market gear.

Add-ons as part of the tradie pack include side steps, tray bed liner, rubber floor mats and weather shields. 

There is a matte black hood protector, while the sports bar has been removed to allow for a canopy fitment.

A tow bar and accessory kit has also been fitted, and the car can be optioned with an exclusive premium white paint.

The total cost of purchasing these add-ons individually from Mitsubishi would be $4397, which equates to a saving of $3147 with the tradie pack.

The sports bar usually equipped to the GLX-R is removed as part of the tradie pack, which is worth $1610 so the total saving in consideration of that is $1537.

The other special edition model is for the range-topping GSR dual-cab pick-up. 

It receives the touring pack, which starts from $66,140 (before on-road costs) - $1550 more than the standard version. 

This makes it the most expensive variant of the Triton on the market after the regular GSR received a $1450 price increase late last year. 

It also gets a tow bar and accessory kit, black nudge bar, black hood protector and weather shields.

Additionally, there is a rubber tub mat as part of the added kit.

The cost of purchasing these items individually from Mitsubishi would be $3752, so the touring pack offers a saving of $2200.

An updated Triton was released in early 2025, receiving an upgraded design, but with a familiar 2.4-litre turbo-diesel engine, producing 150kW and 470Nm.

The new special edition models come after the brand shelved plans for an electric version of its Triton ute late last year, potentially a favouring a move to a long-touted hybrid set-up. 

The special edition Triton variants are expected to be in showrooms next month.
