Mitsubishi Triton vs Toyota LandCruiser 70

The Triton tows 3,500 kg, the LandCruiser 70 3,500 kg. Ground clearance reaches 228 mm on the Triton and ≈330 mm on the LandCruiser 70. Mitsubishi Triton and Toyota LandCruiser 70 side by side, 2025 model year, from the makers’ own documents.

This page compares the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton (Triton MV, 2024–present) and 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 70 (LandCruiser 70 J70, 1984–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

Triton or LandCruiser 70: 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.

Towing and GCWR
The Triton tows 3,500 kg, the LandCruiser 70 3,500 kg. They tie on their best configuration.
Payload and GVWR
Only the Triton has a payload figure in our data: it carries 1,335 kg of payload. The LandCruiser 70 has none, so no leader is named.
Ground clearance and angles
The Triton has 228 mm of ground clearance, the LandCruiser 70 ≈330 mm. The LandCruiser 70 leads by 102 mm on its best configuration. At the best configuration: approach angle Triton 30.4°, LandCruiser 70 not in our data; breakover angle Triton 23.6°, LandCruiser 70 not in our data; departure angle Triton 22.8°, LandCruiser 70 not in our data.
Dimensions
Length: Triton 5320 mm, LandCruiser 70 ≈4865–5245 mm; width: Triton 1865 mm, LandCruiser 70 ≈1790–1870 mm; height: Triton 1785–1815 mm, LandCruiser 70 ≈1940–2115 mm; wheelbase: Triton 3130 mm, LandCruiser 70 ≈2730–3180 mm.

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.

  • Each is its model’s lowest trim in a crew cab with four-wheel drive and the shortest bed, with the first engine and gearbox the maker lists for it.
  • Our data does not split the LandCruiser 70 by cab, so it is not named above; the LandCruiser 70 is matched on its other options.
  • A figure marked “with” needs that factory package; one without is the configuration as it comes.

Which model years does this Triton vs LandCruiser 70 comparison use?

This page compares the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton (Triton MV, 2024–present) and 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 70 (LandCruiser 70 J70, 1984–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.
