The 1998 Mitsubishi Triton carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mitsubishi Triton is also known as Mitsubishi Forte, Strada, Dodge Ram 50, Plymouth Arrow Truck, Mitsubishi Mighty Max in markets outside Australia.
The Mitsubishi Triton 1998 prices range from $2,420 for the basic trim level Extra Cab GLX to $7,150 for the top of the range Single Cab GLX (4X4).
I wouldn't recommend turbocharging a 10-year-old engine without rebuilding it first. It would need to have new pistons anyway, and I would err on the side of caution and go through it from top to bottom to make sure it will be up the job. The best way for him, in my opinion, would be to buy a diesel. They're all turbocharged these days and have the torque to tow the 2.6 tonnes he needs to tow. Most will tow up to three tonnes, but if he were towing that weight every day I would consider an aftermarket heavy-duty clutch. We have heard reports of clutch problems with the Toyota HiLux when towing. The commonly held view is that they're geared for highway use, which puts the clutch under pressure when it has to tow a substantial load.
