Mitsubishi Triton Raider 2026 review Australia: A tougher 4WD pick-up than Nissan Navara Warrior?

The 2026 Mitsubishi Triton Raider arrives as the new flagship of the local line-up. Developed in collaboration with Australian engineering firm Premcar, this high-spec variant sits at the top of a rationalised range that includes the GLX, GLX+, GLX-R, GLS, and GSR grades. Tom White examines how this locally developed model enhances the sixth-generation Triton platform for the Australian market. The Raider features a bespoke suspension package with unique front springs and larger-piston dampers designed for improved wheel control. Practicality remains a priority with a 3500kg braked towing capacity and a 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel engine producing 150kW and 470Nm. Exterior updates include 18-inch ROH alloy wheels in brushed bronze, Bridgestone all-terrain tyres, a heavy-duty bash plate, and specific red-accented body protection. On the road and off it, the Raider focuses on ride quality and handling stability across diverse terrain. Tom White compares the value of this top-tier model against key mid-size pick-up rivals including the Ford Ranger Tremor, Isuzu D-Max Blade, and Toyota HiLux Rugged X. This review assesses whether the local tuning and comprehensive safety suite justify its position as the most expensive Triton to date. #Mitsubishi #Triton #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:17 Pricing and features 01:27 Design 02:28 Practicality 03:33 Under the bonnet 04:23 Efficiency 04:35 Driving 07:34 Safety 07:53 Ownership 08:15 Verdict -- Read Tom’s full review: https://bit.ly/4e1L8MF Check out our Mitsubishi Triton hub: https://bit.ly/4vnkC7l Find more utes: https://bit.ly/47erdrm Visit our adventure guide: https://bit.ly/4ubkiJ8 -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
