Mitsubishi Triton Phantom Edition

When the 2015 Mitsubishi Triton was launched in Malaysia way back in May, the pick-up truck was available in five variants, with the VGT Adventure being the top-spec model. However, it appears that there is another model above the VGT Adventure known as the “Phantom Edition”, according to a posting on oto.my.

With an all-inclusive on-the-road price tag of RM119,200, the Phantom Edition commands a premium of RM5,600 over the the double-cab Triton 2.5 VGT 4×4 Adventure that retails at RM113,600 (OTR all inclusive). The sum paid nets you a limited-edition model, where just 180 units exists in Malaysia.

Based on the aforementioned model, the limited-number Phantom Edition retains the same mechanical components as before. This includes the 2.5 litre variable geometry turbo engine that provides 178 PS and 400 Nm at 2,000 rpm, coupled to a five-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel drive system. What makes the Phantom Edition different from the standard truck is the addition of various design details.

At the front, the Triton Phantom Edition gains a large “Phantom” decal wording just above the blacked-out front grille. A larger silver trim piece located just beneath said grille forms part of a bull bar that links the HID projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights.

Along the sides, the Phantom Edition sports the same design multi-spoke 17-inch wheels. However, they have now been painted black to match the truck’s body. Meanwhile, the rear sees the addition of chromed sports bars and a flatbed hard cover.

Inside, the leather seats are retained on the Triton, but now feature contrast red stitching. Additionally, the front driver and passenger ones now feature “Phantom” badging on them as part of the truck’s overall theme and “carbon-fibre” motif on the side bolsters.

What do you think of this limited-edition Mitsubishi Triton? We’ve already had a go in Mitsubishi’s pick-up and it was featured in an episode of the Driven Web Series 2015, where it went up against the Nissan Navara and Ford Ranger.
