TRITON AT35 BREAKS COVER
Mitsubishi has now followed the example set by Isuzu with its D-max AT35 by the recent unveiling of the Triton Halo AT35 prototype – the ultimate iteration of the Triton double cab model. Based on the flagship Triton double cab 4×4, the Halo AT35 was developed in conjunction with the Icelandic specialist company Arctic Trucks.
Mitsubishi states that bakkies and the modification of bakkies remain extremely popular in South Africa and the Triton Halo AT35 prototype is a completely unique product that gives off-road enthusiasts an extremely capable, well-engineered vehicle, backed by Mitsubishi’s factory warranty.
The standard styling of the Triton, dominated by the Dynamic Shield frontal design is bolstered by a conversion that comprises a suspension lift and 17-inch BF Goodrich off-road tyres fitted to Arctic Truck alloy wheels, resulting in a wider track and ride height increase of approximately 35 mm. The suspension comprises of the rugged 4×4 Iron Man Suspension.
The bodywork has been modified to support these upgrades and includes a new front bumper, extended wheel arches, and wider fender liners that all integrate perfectly with the Tritons sculpted exterior. Additional accessories include a snorkel and a roof rack.
The Triton AT35 also features some Ralliart accessories, including Ralliart floormats, mudflaps, and decals all round. Standard equipment includes a rubberised load bin that is fitted with a Keko Style Bar and Keko Tonneau cover. Inside, the infotainment system has been upgraded to a seven-inch Sony Display Audio system while the leather seats feature bespoke stitching.
The Mitsubishi Triton Halo AT35 prototype has been built by Arctic Trucks and is backed by the same warranty as regular Mitsubishi Triton models, allowing buyers to drive a vehicle that has been extensively modified for off-road use with peace of mind.
