What is the Mitsubishi Triton's towing capacity?

Mitsubishi lists a braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg across the variants on this page. The real limit for your vehicle also depends on its GCM and how heavily it's loaded.

What is the Mitsubishi Triton's GCM?

6,210 to 6,250 kg, depending on the variant, according to Mitsubishi's 26MY specifications. GCM is the most the loaded vehicle and loaded trailer may weigh together.

How much payload does the Mitsubishi Triton have?

GVM minus kerb weight gives 910 to 1,335 kg, depending on the variant. Accessories, people, gear and towball download all come out of that.

Can a Mitsubishi Triton tow 3,500 kg fully loaded?

Usually not. To tow its full braked capacity, the Mitsubishi Triton GLS, 4x4, Double Cab Pick-Up, 2.4L bi-turbo diesel, 6-speed automatic must weigh no more than 2,750 kg loaded, which leaves 621 kg above its kerb weight for everything you add.

What is the Mitsubishi Triton's maximum towball download?

Mitsubishi lists a maximum towball load of 350 kg for every Triton variant.

* What the vehicle can carry above its kerb weight while towing its full braked capacity: the lower of GCM minus braked towing, and GVM minus a 10% towball download, minus kerb weight. Figures copied 11 November 2026.

Worked example: Mitsubishi Triton GLS, 4x4, Double Cab Pick-Up, 2.4L bi-turbo diesel, 6-speed automatic

The Mitsubishi Triton GLS, 4x4, Double Cab Pick-Up, 2.4L bi-turbo diesel, 6-speed automatic weighs 2,129 kg at kerb, has a 3,200 kg GVM and a 6,250 kg GCM, and is rated to tow 3,500 kg braked.

GCM: to tow 3,500 kg, the loaded vehicle can weigh no more than 6,250 − 3,500 = 2,750 kg.
GVM: with 350 kg on the towball (10% of the trailer), the vehicle can weigh no more than 3,200 − 350 = 2,850 kg before hitching.
The lower figure, 2,750 kg, leaves 621 kg above kerb weight for the towbar, accessories, passengers and gear.

GVM plus braked towing is 3,200 + 3,500 = 6,700 kg, which is 450 kg more than the GCM. You can't load this variant to its GVM and tow its full rating at the same time.

How much it can tow as you load it

Added to kerb weight	Loaded vehicle	Heaviest trailer
300 kg	2,429 kg	3,500 kg
500 kg	2,629 kg	3,500 kg
700 kg	2,829 kg	3,421 kg
900 kg	3,029 kg	1,710 kg

The heaviest trailer is the lowest of the braked towing capacity, GCM minus the loaded vehicle, and the GVM room left divided by a 10% towball download. Use how much can I tow with your own weights and towball percentage.

17 of the 17 variants listed have a GVM plus towing capacity higher than their GCM. Our guide on why a 3,500 kg towing capacity often isn't 3,500 kg explains what that means.

Notes from Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi's brochure doesn't say what its kerb mass includes, or whether cab-chassis figures include a tray. Weigh your Triton as you drive it, tray and accessories fitted.
