The test model of Mitsubishi Triton 4x4 was introduced in Australia during 2006.
Dual front airbags are standard. Antilock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake distribution (EBD) are optional on the base variant. Side airbags and electronic stability control are not available.
The front seta belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash.
The Mitsubishi Triton 4x4 scored 9.08 out of 16 in the offset crash test.
The passenger compartment held its shape well. Protection from serious leg injury was marginal for the driver. There was a moderate risk of serious chest injury for the driver and passenger.
The vehicle was awarded a default score of 16 out of 16 for the side impact test.
 Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 1.87 pts, upper legs 0.99 pts, lower legs 2.22 pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The clutch pedal moved rearwards by 74mm and downwards 3mm. The steering wheel hub moved forwards 16mm, upwards 49mm and sideways 8mm. The front ("A") pillar moved 53mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash high manual effort was required to open the driver's door.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. Steering column components were a potential source of injury for the driver's knees. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.
 Default 16 points awarded for side impact test.
The side impact test normally used by ANCAP simulates a small car striking the driver's door of the vehicle under test. It is based on a regulation test but the regulation does not apply to vehicles with a high seat height like the Triton. Experience shows that such vehicles can be expected to perform well in this test so ANCAP has decided to award full score for these vehicles instead of conducting a crash test.
The vehicle was not eligible for a pole impact test since it did not have head-protecting side airbags. This test can earn eligible vehicles an extra two points.
