Triton Raider: Key specifications

Taking the already-improved 26MY Triton GSR as a base, Premcar completes the Raider’s second-stage manufacturing process in Epping, Victoria. The result is a new Triton range-topper, built with solid Australian engineering experience and expertise to deliver even more capability.

But of course, the modifications made to Triton Raider were thoroughly designed, engineered, developed and tested to deliver on the brief: To bring confidence to every drive – in any conditions, on any surface.

Dynamics tuned for Australian adventures

Led by Premcar’s Senior Engineering Partner Andrew Lynch, the Triton Raider team designed an integrated suspension system that focused on comfort and control, to bring the driver confidence.

The team developed a unique front and rear suspension damper package for Raider, utilising an internal rebound spring in the front damper to maximise suspension control.

They also deployed a unique front spring and jounce bumper (bump stop). The result is improved wheel control on a wide variety of surfaces. After rigorous testing, the Premcar engineering team selected the Bridgestone AT002 all-terrain tyres, matching them to a heavier-duty ROH ‘Assault’ 18-inch alloy wheel.

They finished these wheels in a distinctive Brushed Bronze with specific ‘Raider’ hub caps.

In total, front ride height is increased 25mm (10mm due to the new front springs, and 15mm due to the upgraded wheel/tyre package), while at the a 15mm ride height improvement is realised (wheel/tyre).

Front and rear tracks have also increased by 20mm total.

The YAMAHA Performance Damper system which debuted in the 26MY Triton GSR is also retained. This horizontally-mounted damper connects to the chassis to further enhance NVH performance.

Expressive exterior combines form and function

The wheel and tyre package also adds to the Triton Raider’s imposing exterior presence. Brushed Bronze designers also adopted to colour the ‘Sandstorm’ side decals, and they applied Raider badging to the rear tailgate badge.

The team sourced additional aesthetic pieces from Mitsubishi Motors’ global catalogue, including the ‘Dark Warm Grey’ front garnish, while the Mitsubishi Genuine Accessories catalogue yielded the upgraded side protection bars and sports bar, with the addition of unique red inserts. Engineers finished the strengthened underbody protection in red, with Raider identifying lettering, while the chrome grille emblem contrasts with the black grille and under garnish.

Four colour options are available at launch: White Diamond, Black Mica, Blade Silver and Graphite Grey.
