Triton GLX-R towing capacity

I own a TD and both it and the v6 are the same at 2200kg refer to discount new cars web site as it confirms this.

Hope this helps.

Hi bushy,

according to Mitsubishi it never has and never will be 2200kg. I have a copy of a letter(under Mitsu letterhead) delivered to another visitor here, which claims a retrospective increase to 1800kg. As yet I haven't managed to obtain my own but I live in hope...

Had a look around your site and I gotta say it all seems pretty unreliable. There are a lot of discrepencies(sp?) between the models.

There is also the fact that here in Vic at least, if the owners manual says 1500kg then that's it, unless you get something from Mitsu stating otherwise. The law states the towed mass may not exceed that towbar rating or the manufacturers maximum, which ever is lower.

Hi Blue
I have heard back from Mitsubishi and they say the GLX-R manual trans is only good for towing 1500 kgs. The reason for not towing more is the oil in the gear box will boil and that can not be good. Mistsubishi also told me that the auto and diesel have been down graded to 1900 kgs. I guess I will have to fix the other car to tow the weight. I talked to Kevin Taylor, Product Communications Mitsubishi Motors Aust. P/L phone and ask for him 1300 13 12 11. I also talked to the rta qld and they say the towing weight is what Mitsubishi say or 1 & 1/2 times the GVM unladden. Thanks for everyone information.

Hi Debbi, seems you can't get a straight answer out of anyone these days... Found the copy of a letter from Mitsu, which clearly states that towing capacities have been revised for the V6 manual 4wd models...
