The Triton MT variants are equipped with a robust 6-Speed Manual Transmission specifically engineered to handle the high torque output of the MIVEC Turbo Diesel engine and provide rugged reliability.
Type: 6-Speed Manual Transmission (6MT).
Engineering Focus: Durability, direct driver feedback, and maximum mechanical efficiency for hauling and off-roading.
Compatibility: Paired with the highly capable 2.4L 4N16 MIVEC Turbo Diesel engine (which produces 430 Nm of torque).
Torque Management: The manual gearbox allows the driver to precisely select the gear needed to keep the engine in its optimal torque band (around 2,250 – 2,500 rpm) for climbing steep grades or pulling heavy loads, especially in 4×4 low range.
Low-Range Gearing: In 4×4 versions, the 6MT is typically paired with the Easy Select 4WD system. The manual transmission gives the driver ultimate control over speed and engine braking, which is essential for controlled descents off-road.
Clutch: Designed to be robust to withstand the forces required for working conditions and heavy towing.
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
| 6th Gear (Overdrive) | The inclusion of a 6th gear provides an overdrive ratio. | Allows the engine to run at lower RPMs during high-speed highway cruising, improving fuel economy and reducing cabin noise. |
| Easy Select 4WD | Available on MT 4×4 variants, allowing shift-on-the-fly switching between 2H and 4H at speeds up to 100 km/h | Practicality and versatility for changing road conditions without stopping the vehicle. |
| Hill Start Assist (HSA) | Standard feature that holds the brake for a few seconds when pulling away on an incline. | Prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator, especially beneficial when operating a manual transmission on a hill. |
