Isuzu D-Max vs Mitsubishi Triton

The D-Max tows 3,500 kg, the Triton 3,500 kg. Ground clearance reaches 244 mm on the D-Max and 228 mm on the Triton. Isuzu D-Max and Mitsubishi Triton side by side, 2025 model year, from the makers’ own documents.

This page compares the 2025 Isuzu D-Max (D-Max RG, 2021–present) and 2025 Mitsubishi Triton (Triton MV, 2024–present): the newest model year in which both have maker figures, in AU-market units. Newer model years in our data (Triton 2026) have too few maker figures to compare, so the page uses the newest year in which both have enough.

01 / Verdict

D-Max or Triton: who leads on what

Each line is the maker’s top figure for each model across its configurations. A lead is on that best configuration, so it depends on cab, bed, engine, axle and options; the closest matching trucks are compared below. Only a maker’s own figure decides a lead.

Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2025 configurations of that model, with the small number of the document it comes from. A figure that is an estimate, an owners’ report or a third-party figure wears its mark and never decides a lead; a group where one model has no maker figure says so.

Which model years does this D-Max vs Triton comparison use?

This page compares the 2025 Isuzu D-Max (D-Max RG, 2021–present) and 2025 Mitsubishi Triton (Triton MV, 2024–present): the newest model year in which both have maker figures, in AU-market units. Newer model years in our data (Triton 2026) have too few maker figures to compare, so the page uses the newest year in which both have enough.
