Mitsubishi Triton GSR Specifications

What Features & Specs Does the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Have?

The Mitsubishi Triton receives a number of visual enhancements over the rest of the range, as well as some more premium touches inside the cabin. 

Headlining the list of the Triton GSR’s equipment is a set of black 18-inch alloys, a black sports bar, roof rails, a body-coloured front grille, black leather upholstery with orange contrast stitching, dark titanium interior highlights, two extra cupholders on the dashboard and a powered driver’s seat. 

In terms of off-road features, the Triton GSR receives Mitsubishi’s Super Select II 4WD system, standard duty rear suspension, hill descent control, terrain control, as well as a locking centre and rear differential added to the GLX+. 

The GSR also picks up features you’ll find in lower-spec variants, like LED headlights, fog lights, indicators and tail lights, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view monitor with front & rear parking sensors, a tub liner, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry & start, a wireless smartphone charger and side steps. 

Mitsubishi Triton GSR Connectivity & Infotainment Features

One of the major improvements to the latest Triton range has been the modernisation of the infotainment suite. 

Where the previous model fell far short of its rivals, every member of the Triton range now receives a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display sitting atop the dashboard. 

This serves as a major leap forward over the previous 6.1 and 7.0-inch displays you’d find in last year’s Triton range. 

The added screen real estate is a great thing, and so is the resolution of the display and user-friendly operation with some physical shortcuts located below the display. 

The Triton GSR’s infotainment suite picks up satellite navigation, DAB+ digital radio and is paired with the GLS’ six-speaker sound system over the four-speaker sound system fitted to the GLX and GLX+. 

All things considered, it’s not the most high-tech infotainment system on the market but it serves as a major upgrade over the previous system and remains incredibly easy to use. 

Does the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Have Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto?

Alongside the larger display, Mitsubishi has also updated phone connectivity for the Triton range, though one ecosystem is left out in the rain when it comes to wireless support. 

Every member of the Triton range, from the entry-level GLX through to the range-topping GSR picks up wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity, though Android Auto remains wired. 

This means that Android owners will need to bring either a USB-C or USB-A cord in order to access Android Auto on the move. 

Is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Comfortable to Drive?

The driving experience on offer in the latest Triton range has made significant leaps in the right direction.

With a brand-new, larger platform, upgraded suspension hardware and a new bi-turbo diesel engine, the Triton GSR is far superior to its predecessor. 

Under the bonnet, the Triton range now boasts a 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel which kicks out 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque to the wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. 

That’s an extra 17kW of power and 40Nm of torque over the previous Triton range, while the extra turbocharger helps to provide more urgency off the line while offering consistent power as you approach the top of the rev range.  

Peak power is available from 3,500rpm, while maximum torque is provided from 1,500 - 2,750rpm to help waft you up to speed or give you some push up a steep, challenging incline. 

There’s no faulting the updated bi-turbo diesel unit which performed admirably in our time behind the wheel, though the six-speed automatic transmission did have some isolated, shunty moments upshifting.

In terms of the daily driving experience, there’s no hiding the Triton’s rugged underpinnings.

While the standard duty rear suspension setup certainly helps to smooth things out, the Triton GSR still rides firm when unloaded - a testament to its work-ready platform that is ready to be loaded up. 

It’s well-behaved around town, soaking up smaller bumps without much of an issue, though the ride does get a bit busy on bumpier, high-speed roads. 

The larger footprint also means it’s a bit fiddly in a tight car park, for example, and you’ll need to pick your spots wisely. 

Thankfully, the Triton’s surround-view monitor takes a lot of the stress out of parking in tight quarters, while the relatively lightweight steering rack means you don’t work up a sweat making a three-point turn.

The Triton felt happier cruising along country roads than hopping around the city. 

On the open road, the Triton’s suspension soaks up larger bumps and can confidently tackle corners, while the added torque makes it a more enjoyable driving experience. 

Bash up a country road and it’s clear the Triton can handle some serious punishment without an issue. 

Take it on the highway and the Triton proves itself a great long-distance cruiser. 

While there is some wind noise from the large mirrors, the overall driving experience is smooth and quiet inside the cabin, making for a great all-rounder and one that has certainly caught up with its major dual cab rivals. 

Is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR a Good Off-Roader? 

The Triton range is now bigger and wider than its replacement, with the wider track lending itself well to some off-road prowess. 

Combine that with the added torque from Mitsubishi’s new 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel and you’ve got 150kW worth of power and 470Nm of torque to help push you through the tricky stuff. 

The Triton GSR throws power to the wheels via the Super Select II system, offering 2H, 4H, 4L and 4L with a locking centre differential, as well as a separate button to lock the rear differential. 

When pushed, the Triton feels sturdy and can confidently tackle steep inclines, with the suspension package happy to soak up a fair dose of punishment. 

There’s a lot of real estate within the wheel arches to accommodate serious wheel articulation, with the stiffer chassis helping to keep things planted and inspire more confidence off-road. 

Off-road specifications for the Triton GSR can be found below. 

• Ground Clearance: 228mm

• Approach Angle: 30.4 degrees

• Departure Angle: 22.8 degrees

• Breakover Angle: 23.4 degrees 

Is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Fuel Efficient?

Fuel efficiency was one of the biggest surprises behind the wheel of the Triton GSR, which was happy to sip fuel responsibly.

Mitsubishi says its 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel consumes 7.7L per 100km on a combined cycle. 

On a mix of town and country roads, long stints up the highway and some challenging off-road adventures, we were able to average 7.8L per 100km over close to 1000km of driving. 

Impressive fuel economy figures are one of the key selling points of the Triton range and while it’s down marginally on torque, being able to consistently hit Mitsubishi’s claims is a great thing for long-term ownership. 

On the city cycle, the Triton drinks 9.6L per 100km while a long drive on the highway will see you averaging 6.7L per 100km. 

Combine that with a 75L fuel tank and Mitsubishi says the Triton range offers between 974 - 1,119km per fill-up with diesel. 

Is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Practical and Spacious?

Step inside and you’ll see the Triton has come a long, long way when it comes to the interior layout and visual design… we really like it. 

Mitsubishi’s designers have done well to make sure the Triton closes the gap with its major, modern rivals, with the Triton adopting a pretty refined, almost SUV-like interior layout to appease family buyers. 

Step into the cabin blindfolded and it’s hard to imagine you’re sitting inside a tough and rugged dual-cab ute with just a glance at the switchgear, premium touches and high-tech improvements over its replacement.

What do you get for your extra money inside the GSR? Well, there’s orange contrast stitching for the leather-upholstered seats, some dark titanium interior highlights and two extra tradie-spec cupholders placed on each side of the dashboard. 

The seats are comfortable on long stints, with power adjustability and a decent side bolstering to hold you in place when things get bumpy, while the perforated leather steering wheel offers both tilt and telescopic adjustment. 

In the pilot’s seat, there’s a tonne of headroom, with a noticeable increase in both light entering the cabin and space for occupants thanks to the Triton’s larger footprint. 

The switchgear feels solid while the excellent ergonomics mean everything - except the volume dial - is placed well within reach, with wheel-mounted volume controls taking care of this issue, anyway. 

In terms of storage, the Triton GSR is pretty much par for the dual-cab ute course. 

There’s a storage tray hiding behind the gear lever, complete with a wireless charger, while a pair of cupholders, two gloveboxes in front of the passenger’s seat, added storage inside the folding armrest and large door bins certainly help to swallow up loose items. 

The Triton GSR also picks up an additional pair of cupholders placed on either side of the dashboard. 

Move to the rear of the cabin and you’ll see this is a clear upgrade over the previous model. 

With its longer footprint, the Triton offers a serious upgrade for those seated in the rear, bringing it close in line with its major rivals for rear accommodation. 

Stepping inside is easy with the grab handles and side steps, with a solid amount of headroom on offer for adults in the rear. 

Legroom isn’t the best in the segment, though it’s far bigger than before and makes for a comfortable place for adults to sit back on a long trip without an issue. 

Forward visibility in the rear is helped by the elevated driving position, which is perfect for kids, though it does eat up headroom potential for any taller adults in the rear. 

Amenities in the rear include USB-C charging ports, roof-mounted air vents, a folding armrest with cup holders, and two sets of pockets in the seatbacks to stash things like smartphones or an iPad to keep the young ones happy on a long holiday haul. 

For the parents out there, the Triton picks up two pairs of ISOFIX anchors for child seats, as well as two top tether points, limiting your child seat capacity to two. 

All up, the latest Triton range is far more practical, with Mitsubishi’s interior design closing the gap to major rivals both in terms of interior space and the quality of the cabin’s materials. 

How Big is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR’s Tray?

The latest-generation Triton GSR has a handy amount of real estate in the tray, very much matching what’s on offer in its major rivals. 

The Triton dual-cab tray measures 1,555mm long, 1,545mm wide (1,135mm between the wheel arches) and stands 525mm tall. 

This makes it 35mm longer, 75mm wider and 50mm taller than the previous-generation Triton, all of which go a long way when it comes to the everyday usability and practicality of the tray, particularly for working Aussies. 

GSR variants pick up a tub liner with four tie-down hooks to secure your cargo at each end of the tray. 

• Tray Length: 1,555mm

• Tray Width: 1,545mm

• Tray Width between wheel arches: 1,135mm

• Tray Height: 525mm

• Triton GSR Wheelbase: 3,130mm 

How Much Can the Mitsubishi Triton Carry and Tow? 

The Triton GSR, as well as the GLS pick up a more friendly ‘standard duty’ suspension setup for daily driving, though this does come at the expense of some payload capacity. 

The Triton GSR’s payload figures stand at 1,030kg, which is down from the 1,110kg worth of payload potential in the GLX+ with its heavy-duty suspension setup. 

Braked towing capacity figures for the MY24 Triton range have increased over the previous-generation Triton, now matching key rivals with 3,500kg worth of towing power on tap - a massive 400kg increase. 

Gross combination mass (GCM) figures have also increased over its predecessors, now totalling 6,250kg, while the Triton GSR’s gross vehicle mass (GVM) figures stand at 3,080kg. 

• Triton GSR Braked Towing Capacity: 3,500kg

• Triton GSR Maximum Towball Download: 350kg

• Triton GSR Kerb Weight: 2,170kg

• Triton GSR Gross Combination Mass: 6,250kg

• Triton GSR Gross Vehicle Mass: 3,080kg

• Triton GSR Payload: 1,030kg

Is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Safe?

One area where Mitsubishi has thrown everything at the Triton, including the kitchen sink, is the safety equipment suite. 

As standard, every member of the Triton range picks up autonomous emergency braking with junction assist and both pedestrian and cyclist detection, as well as blind-spot monitoring, front & rear cross-traffic alerts, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. 

You’ll also pick up multi-collision braking, driver attention alerts, trailer stability assist, curtain airbags, tyre pressure monitoring and both front & rear parking sensors. 

The GSR picks up a surround-view monitor as well as rear autonomous emergency braking that are both bundled in with the GLX+ and higher variants. 

There’s a tonne of safety equipment on offer in the Triton GSR, though some of Mitsubishi’s safety tech, namely the driver attention alerts, can be a little bit intrusive. 

For example, on a long drive up the highway, if you dare block the column-mounted sensor, you’ll be met with numerous beeps, with much the same experience with the paranoid lane-keep assistance system. 

It also has trust issues and seems to get things completely wrong - accusing you of being distracted while staring directly down the road. 

That said, we’re happy to see that Mitsubishi is throwing this much safety equipment in even the entry-level Triton, so we’ll forgive it for the minor tweaks needed to make the tech less intrusive behind the wheel. 

Does the Mitsubishi Triton Have an ANCAP Safety Rating?

The sixth-generation Mitsubishi Triton range has been given the five-star ANCAP safety tick after testing in 2024 saw it score the following marks: 

• Adult Occupant Protection: 86%

• Child Occupant Protection: 89%

• Vulnerable Road User Protection: 74%

• Safety Assist: 70% 

What Warranty Does the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Come With?

Another area the Triton outperforms its major rivals is when you put the warranty under the microscope.

The Triton is backed by Australia’s longest new car warranty, so long as you keep it serviced within the Mitsubishi network. 

The five-year/100,000-kilometre warranty stretches out to ten years/200,000-kilometres when you keep it within the network. 

Mitsubishi also offers ten years of capped-price servicing for the Triton range, which is priced at $669 per visit, or a total of $6,690 over ten years. 

Service intervals for the MY24 Triton range stand at 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, whichever elapses first. 

Our Verdict: Is the Mitsubishi Triton GSR Worth it?

If you’re after the ultimate Triton - you can go right ahead and add the GSR to your shortlist because it’s come leaps and bounds over its predecessor. 

For the more savvy onlookers, though, you’ll notice that the lower-spec GLS is nibbling at the range-topper’s heels with the same off-road-ready hardware and quite a hefty equipment list at close to a $5,000 discount. 

While we appreciate the extra garnishes that Mitsubishi has thrown into the Triton GSR, in our mind, it doesn’t have the same competitive edge as the GLS which is virtually identical where it counts, namely the Super Select II 4WD system. 

As a complete package, though, there’s no denying that Mitsubishi’s upgrade for the Triton range has closed the gap significantly to major rivals while maintaining a healthy value proposition. 

The sixth-gen Triton is bigger and tougher, yet more refined behind the wheel, while some major technology inclusions make it a seriously compelling dual-cab ute option. 

The only problem is that the GSR’s value proposition begins to falter the closer you compare it with its more affordable GLS sibling.
