Subsequently, in November 2019, the company upgraded the range-topping Triton Adventure X and Triton AT Premium with more accessories available at all MMM authorized dealers.

The company also launched the new Triton Quest and limited edition Triton Knight to complete the Triton line-up.

The Mitsubishi Triton is still the only pick-up offering up to 200,000km or a five-year warranty where customers get to travel more with added peace of mind.

“MMM will continue to provide the best-handling pick-up truck from our flagship model, the Triton Adventure X to the Triton Quest 4x2 in order to meet our customer’s daily work and leisure requirements. We are confident of achieving our Triton sales target and that MMM will provide top-notch customer service to all its customers,” said MMM chief executive officer Tomoyuki Shinnishi.
