Also present at the Mitsubishi booth at the ongoing Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) is a Triton show truck. Like the Xpander art car next to it, the accessorised pick-up is meant to provide buyers with inspiration in terms of customising their vehicles.
Similar to its stablemate, this particular Yamabuki Orange Triton Athlete is wearing a bodykit from D Mod, including a deep front spoiler with built-in driving lights, side rubbing strips, rear bumper extensions and a tailgate appliqué. These, together with the grille, are finished in metallic black, giving the truck a welcome hit of contrasting colour.
Other accessories fitted are a roof trim piece above the windscreen and a sports bar, as well as black Enkei Tuning SC59 wheels wrapped in knobbly Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 off-road tyres. Inside, you’ll find black and red leather upholstery (as opposed to the standard Athlete’s part-leather seats) with a hexagonal stitch pattern, as well as red dashboard and door stitching replacing the usual orange.
No changes to the kit nor the mechanicals, so this Athlete uses the same 2.4 litre 4N16 twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine, pushing out 204 PS and 470 Nm. All that gets sent through a six-speed automatic gearbox and an Easy Select four-wheel-drive system.
The previous second-generation Triton showed that Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) was not shy in offering several modified limited-edition models, so we hope this show truck means it will continue to do the same with the third-gen model. Like the look? Sound off in the comments after the jump.

Even with added cosmetics, the latest Triton is the ugliest version by far. Older versions looks more nicer than the latest version.
