The automatic variants of the Triton are typically equipped with a newly developed, highly efficient 6-Speed Automatic Transmission (6AT) with a Manual Mode feature.
Type: 6-Speed Automatic Transmission (Conventional Torque Converter).
Engine Pairing: It is matched with the powerful 2.4L MIVEC Turbo Diesel engine (Max Output: 181 – 204 PS, Max Torque: 430 – 470 Nm, depending on the specific model/market).
Fuel Economy: The 6-speed configuration features optimized top gear ratios (overdrive) that allow the engine to run at lower RPMs during highway cruising, which significantly improves fuel efficiency and reduces cabin noise compared to older 5-speed units.
Smooth Shifting: The transmission is tuned for seamless gear changes, which contributes to the comfortable, SUV-like ride quality the Triton is known for, especially in daily driving.
Manual Mode (Sport Mode): The AT gear selector usually allows the driver to manually shift gears (often via the lever or paddle shifters in higher variants like the Athlete). This provides direct control over gear selection, useful for engine braking on steep downhill descents or holding a gear for maximum power during overtaking.
A-T Selector Logic: The system uses intelligent logic to monitor driving conditions and automatically adjust shift patterns. For instance, it can hold a lower gear on ascents or downshift early under hard braking.
In the high-spec 4×4 Automatic models, the transmission integrates seamlessly with Mitsubishi’s advanced systems:
| System | Function with 6AT | Benefit |
| Super Select 4WD-II | Allows effortless shifting between 2H (2WD High), 4H (Full-Time 4WD), 4HLc (4WD High with Locked Centre Differential), and 4LLc (4WD Low with Locked Centre Differential). | Offers exceptional stability on all surfaces (tarmac, wet roads, and slippery off-road). |
| 7 Drive Modes | In top variants, the AT mapping is integrated with the terrain modes (Normal, Eco, Gravel, Sand, Mud, Snow, Rock). The transmission electronically changes its shift points and speed to optimize traction for the selected terrain. | Provides enhanced off-road performance and safety without driver intervention. |
| Hill Descent Control (HDC) | Automatically applies brakes to maintain a set speed (typically between 2 – 20 km/h) when descending steep slopes. | The driver can focus entirely on steering, eliminating the need to manually manage clutch/brake/throttle like in an MT |
