STORY

The Triton is Mitsubishi's global mid-size pickup line, known in various markets as the L200, Strada, Sportero and, historically, the Mighty Max/Forte. Sold since the late 1970s, it evolved through successive generations into a core Mitsubishi product with body-on-frame construction, four-cylinder diesel power and selectable four-wheel drive. Later generations introduced the distinctive 'J-Line' cab styling and, from 2023, a heavily re-engineered new platform.
