The double-cab Triton rally truck uses a 2.4-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder that makes 201 horsepower (150 kilowatts) and 347 pound-feet (470 Newton-meters). A snorkel lets the engine breathe during the event's river crossings. A six-speed manual sends the power to Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD-II system, and there are limited-slip differentials on both axles.
The pickup features a revised suspension with twin dampers at each corner. The track is wider than stock, and the 17-inch wheels support Yokohama Geolander tires The truck uses carbon-fiber parts for the hood, doors, and cargo bed. A big bar is on the A-pillar opposite the snorkel. There's a stripped interior and a roll cage in there.
"Triton rally cars have undergone over 2,000 km of endurance testing in Japan and Thailand with no major problems," said Team Mitsubishi Ralliart team director Hiroshi Masuoka in the rally truck's announcement.
Masuoka will accompany the rally trucks in a specially prepped Delica D:5 with a matching Ralliart paint scheme, a roof basket, and a light bar.
The Triton/L200 is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with three power outputs: 148 hp, 181 hp, and 201 hp. Power is sent to all four wheels through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox, and it features various drive modes and 4WD systems.
The new road-going Triton (or L200 in some markets) will go on sale in Thailand first, and Mitsubishi will gradually roll it out in other Asian markets. It goes on sale in Japan in early 2024.
