The Mitsubishi has marketed the new truck all over the world with different names including Hunter, Sportero Strada, and L200. The Mitsubishi Triton 2017 is different from its older cousins due to a reduction in weight thereby leading to increased engine efficiency. The vehicle is offered with either 17-inch rims or alternately 21-inch wheels for added clearance against both liquid and solid obstacles. In fact, the 21 inch rims are great for fording shallow rivers and streams. The high-quality tires that are a standard feature of the truck are great for both city driving as well as the Australian outback where its performance has given the Triton a highly justified reputation for reliability.

The overall width of the truck has also been increased so as to increase stability at both high speeds and while tackling demanding off-road environments such as snow and mountain regions. Moreover, it also boasts off a bigger and roomier trunk bed correspondingly increasing its haulage capacity.
