2026 Mitsubishi Triton: Sharper Ride, Same Grit And Quieter

They have tinkered with the Triton and, surprisingly, improved it. For 2026 the pick-up gets softer front springs, clever new shock valving, a Yamaha Performance Damper on the top-spec GSR pick-up and a proper connected car system. The result is a truck that still hauls like a mule but behaves on the road like it has manners.
The exterior tweaks are modest but sensible. The GLS gets a darker dynamic shield, black mirror caps and two dash-mounted cup holders if you care about such domestic luxuries, while the GSR adds leather, roof rails and the connected services that modern drivers expect. Pricing kicks off at $37,090 and tops out at $65,590, with the range going on sale in May 2026.
Suspension And The Yamaha Thing
The suspension has been reworked across the board. Up front engineers have softened the spring rate and installed rubber body mounts, while new high-response valves have been fitted to the shock absorbers front and rear. The rear shocks also get a larger diameter to keep control where it matters.
On the GSR pick-up two Yamaha Performance Dampers sit horizontally across the chassis, front and rear. They do exactly what they promise: improve body control, sharpen steering response, reduce unwanted vibration and generally make the cabin a quieter, less fatiguing place to be on long runs or rough roads.
GSR Gets Connected
The GSR pick-up is now available with a factory-installed connected car system. It includes an embedded telematics unit with GPS and 4G LTE, an SOS button and a companion mobile app for remote functions. So yes, you can lock the doors from your phone, and yes, someone will try to use it to locate a lost set of keys.
Lineup, Pricing And The Small Print
The engine is the familiar 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel producing 150kW and 470Nm, married to either six-speed automatic or manual gearboxes depending on trim. The range is expansive: single, club and double cabs plus cab-chassis and pick-up bodies, with both 4×2 and 4×4 options. GLS gains the black grille treatment and a few interior niceties, while GSR gets the Yamaha dampers and the connected services mentioned earlier.
Buyers get more than neat hardware. Mitsubishi also offers a 10 year Diamond Advantage program that bundles warranty, capped-price servicing and roadside assistance into one long-lived package. In plain terms: it is meant to keep your Triton on the road and out of the workshop for longer.
