2018 Mitsubishi Triton Blackline special-edition ute revealed

Mitsubishi has released a limited-edition Triton 4x4 pick-up in response to similar up-spec offerings from rivals offering equipment upgrades and aesthetic enhancements.

The Blackline is based on the GLS 4x4 Double Cab, and brings a number of design changes that are in keeping with its name, including black 17-inch alloy wheels, a black mesh front grille, black door mirrors, black exterior door-handles and Blackline decals.

The special edition also shares a couple of extra features taken from the range-topping Triton Exceed, such as a rear diff’ lock, smart keyless entry and push button start.

Powered by Mitsubishi’s 133kW/430Nm 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, the Triton Blackline is priced at $43,490 for the six-speed manual and $45,990 for the five-speed auto, which represents a modest $1990 premium over the normal GLS.

It is available in three hues; Black, Starlight and Titanium.

The Triton Blackline follows similarly upgraded special edition dual-cab rivals that have hit the market in recent times, including the Holden Colorado LSX, Toyota HiLux 50th Anniversary Edition and Nissan Navara N-Sport.
