Vehicle model
Mitsubishi Triton/L200
The Triton, sold as the L200 in many markets and formerly the Mighty Max in North America, is Mitsubishi's midsize pickup, produced since the 1970s across several generations. Built on a ladder frame, it targets utility, professional, and recreational uses, with single, extended, or double cabs and solid towing and payload capabilities. Rugged and widely distributed across Asia, Oceania, Latin America, and Africa, it also serves as the basis for the Pajero Sport SUV and inspires the announced return of a new ladder-frame model. Tire/rim note: a pickup fitted with 16- to 18-inch rims depending on the version, with all-terrain or utility tires; in Quebec, reinforced winter tires are recommended for load capacity and grip.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Mitsubishi vendues au Québec couvrent surtout des VUS compacts et sous-compacts (Outlander, Eclipse Cross, RVR) montés sur des jantes de 16 à 20 pouces selon la finition, ainsi que des berlines et la sous-compacte Mirage sur de plus petits diamètres. L'entraxe le plus courant sur les modèles récents est de type 5x114,3 mm, fréquent dans le segment. Vu les hivers rigoureux du Québec, un second train de pneus d'hiver montés sur jantes en acier (souvent en diamètre inférieur pour réduire le coût et améliorer l'adhérence) est fortement recommandé, particulièrement pour profiter pleinement de la traction intégrale S-AWC. Vérifiez toujours les dimensions exactes sur la plaque du véhicule.
