Drive: 2023 Mitsubishi Triton Xtreme Launch Review

It’s no secret that Mitsubishi has been pining for an off-road-focused version of the Triton for a while. Mitsubishi told us so last year, but the company has remained quiet on developments ever since.

Well, wonder no longer, the 2023 Mitsubishi Triton Xtreme finally gives the enduring dual-cab ute model the tough-truck treatment it’s long deserved. With the engineering know-how gleaned from second-stage manufacturer Walkinshaw, which also brought us the Volkswagen Amarok W580 rival, the Triton Xtreme sees out the current generation with the most hardcore variant we’ve seen to date.

But, has Walkinshaw done enough to rejuvenate the tired model this late in the generation’s life? Walkinshaw invited Drive to the firm’s home turf, the Lang Lang proving ground on which it used to develop and test HSV models, for a first taste test of the limited 2023 Mitsubishi Triton Xtreme.
