Mitsubishi Triton Bold Edition Launched in Malaysia

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia is selling a limited run of just 300 Mitsubishi Triton Bold Edition, available from January 12th 2011 onwards. The Bold Edition is based on the Triton 2.5 A/T and offers an extensive list of modifications for MYR100,117 ($32,776 at today’s exchange rate), on the road, excluding insurance.

Custom touches include full leather seats, a 2-DIN touch screen system with built-n GPS navigation and reverse camera, automatic climate control, 17 inch alloy wheels, anti-slip side steps, a sports bar, a chrome rear step bumper and a front bumper guard.

No changes were made underneath the skin of the pick-up, so it is essentially the same as the riton 2.5 A/T that comes with a 134 horsepower, 314Nm (231 lb-ft) 2.5-liter 4D56 turbodiesel engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and Mitsubishi's Easy Select 4WD system.

The Bold Edition also comes with the same standard equipment originally available on the Triton 2.5, including dual airbags, ABS with EBD, hybrid LSD, fog lamps, multi-mode centre information display and leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The most notable addition is the dual airbags, ABS with EBD, hybrid LSD, fog lamps, multi-mode centre information display and leather-wrapped steering wheel (see picture). On the outside, the Bold Edition sport more noticeable sports bar and chrome rear step bumper.

Back in 2009, Mitsubishi's Triton pickup received a mid-life facelift, with increased cargo volume and a bolder appearance among its key updates.The Bold Edition truck is available in either black or white and is offered with a 2-year maintenance package and 3-year warranty from Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.
