2021 Rivian R1T – First Look, Specs, Price

The upcoming 2021 Rivian R1T is an all-electric pickup truck that will cause a huge splash in the automotive world. Whatsoever, it already did, thanks to the Rivian’s promises and predicted figures. R1T will offer an impressive driving range and acceleration. On top of that, the American startup brand said there will be no concept. What you see right now is how the final product will look like.

The design looks futuristic and this pickup will be available in crew cab variant only. The 2021 R1T is no ordinary pickup. It comes with four electric motors, one for each wheel. R1T comes with height-adjustable suspension and off-roading is possible as well. It seems like the rest of the pickup world should be scared, for a reason.

Dimensions

It is an interesting topic. New 2021 Rivian R1T is not as big as the full-size models. Still, it is larger the trucks in the mid-size segment. This pickup offers a 135.8 inches long wheelbase and it is available in crew cab only. Just to compare, Ram 1500 is rated at 144.6 inches and Honda Ridgeline at 125.2 inches. But here is the thing.

Rivian R1T also offers a double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspensions. Thanks to that, height-adjustable air springs can significantly raise or lower the height. In normal circumstances, this pickup offers 11 inches of ground clearance. You can shrink that to 9.4 inches or raise to 14.2 inches. Still, the 2021 R1T is 6 inches longer than the mentioned Ridgeline model.

Rivian R1T Power and Driving Range

The upcoming 2021 Rivian R1T will ride on a skateboard platform. This architecture contains four electric motors, battery pack and the suspension. Each motor delivers 147 kilowatts and total output is rated at 562 kW. That is 753 horsepower. How cool is that? The good thing about having four motors is the acceleration and torque vectoring. In that way, Rivian will avoid locking differentials. As for the battery packs, they will be offered in three different sizes.

Ultimately, that means three different driving ranges. Rivian said the two battery packs will be in the offer right from the beginning. A 135 kWh pack will provide around 300 miles and 180 kWh pack over 400 miles. Rivian promised for its R1T pickup to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds. That is a supercar figure. Moreover, towing capacity will be rated at 11,000 pounds. R1T will charge from 0 to 80 percent in just 50 minutes on a DC fast charger.

Interior Features and Storage

From the inside, a new 2021 Rivian R1T will deliver leather and wood materials. Large displays are in the offer, along with the impressive safety features. Even the cabin will look futuristic and packed with the latest systems and features. The manufacturer also said that Level 3 autonomy is in the works. However, the highlight of the interior will be storage. The all-electric pickup has no engine upfront. Rivian will use this area to create the front trunk. On top of that, R1T pickup will get a “gear tunnel”. It is a lockable space behind the cab and under the bed.

2021 Rivian R1T Price and Release Date

The forthcoming 2021 Rivian R1T will hit the dealerships later in 2020. So far, the price is a mystery. Rivian said the price of the 105-kWh version will start at $69,000. However, this variant will arrive later in 2021. Knowing that this is the smallest battery pack, stronger versions will surely cost significantly more. Follow us in the period ahead because Rivian plans to announce further updates about its R1T pickup.

2021 Ram Dakota is Making a Huge Comeback

Dodge is about to introduce its new Dakota pickup. This model will arrive at the beginning of the next year. And while we know basically everything about this model, we are turning attention to the 2021 Ram Dakota. 2021 will be interesting year. For the start, Dodge will wait for the customers’ feedback.

If the 2020 Dakota disappoint in some category, significant changes are a must. Dakota is coming out of retirement and it will compete in the mid-size segment. Plenty of stuff is borrowed from the Jeep Wrangler SUV. Whatsoever, both Dakota and Wrangler will be produced in the same plant in Ohio.

Wrangler-Based Design

The all-new 2021 Ram Dakota will get a completely new look. Basically, nothing is shared with its predecessor. According to numerous reports, Dakota will borrow some cues from the famous Jeep Wrangler. On the other hand, the design is similar to the Ram 1500 pickup. Knowing that next-gen Dakota could lack uniqueness in terms of design. Surely, design and styling will look impressive, and Dakota will ride on the same platform that underpins Jeep Wrangler.

That means the 2021 Dakota will be a body-on-frame vehicle. The front fascia will offer a distinctive look and it will also look aggressive. Once again, crosshair grille is out of the production. Instead, Ram will opt for the large letterings upfront. Even the bumpers, wheels and lights will be similar to the Wrangler, if not the same.

Interior Details

The cabin of the forthcoming 2021 Ram Dakota is still quite a mystery. We don’t have details about the possible interior design. Once again, Dakota will surely mix Wrangler’s and Ram 1500’s design. You must admit, those two models are offering impressive interior. More importantly for Dakota, the interior will be very practical. The mid-size pickup will get various modern features and systems. Thanks to the numerous trim levels, the comfort will be great.

The base model will get cloth upholstery and pretty much the basic stuff. Higher trims will offer leather seats and more safety aids. New dashboard and a new shape of the vents are a possibility. However, we don’t believe in so many innovations. Another interesting topic is Dakota’s safety systems and driver-assistance features.

Powertrain Specs

It will be no surprise if we see a 3.6-liter V6 engine. It is the Jeep’s most-used powertrain option nowadays. Reliable V6 produces 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The same unit will power plenty of Jeep’s SUVs and new Gladiator pickup. Higher trim levels will get a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine. This will be the optional engine choice and it will deliver over 300 horses.

Both powertrain options will use the same 8-speed automatic transmission. On top of that, a 4WD setup will be optional. When it comes to diesel, Dodge will surely offer this type of engine on some markets. A 3.0-liter six-cylinder is the most likely outcome. This engine cranks out 260 horsepower and up to 440 lb-ft of torque.

2021 Ram Dakota Price and Arrival Date

New mid-size pickup will cost slightly above $25,000. The upcoming 2021 Ram Dakota will compete in the strongest pickup truck segment. This segment is packed with proven models such as Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevy Colorado. We are still waiting for the official details. Dakota will arrive in the middle of 2020.

2021 Colorado Dimensional Changes

The all-new 2021 Holden Colorado will grow in size. The arriving model will be both longer and wider. Holden will also provide similar cues as Chevrolet’s Colorado model.

Whatsoever, we are still waiting for the first spy photos.

One thing on the front fascia is certain, larger headlights. The rear end will get modified taillights and both bumpers will largely remain. Colorado looks incredibly sporty and stylish. New color options are another possibility, along with the new optional wheels. 18-inch wheels are standard, along with the side-steps and black tailgate.

Interior Updates

The interior will get a serious number of updates. The upcoming 2021 Holden Colorado now offers a lot of minor changes. Thanks to that, Holden failed to provide significant innovations. The interior looks stylish and Australian market has no competition for Colorado pickup. Most of the rivals are focusing solely on performances. On the other hand, Holden provides a full package. Besides modern appearance and great performances, Colorado comes with stylish interior design.

Comfort is more than satisfying and the cabin is full of high-quality materials. On top of that, soft-touch surfaces are looking surprisingly premium. Of course, real luxury starts on the higher trim levels. Numerous cab variants are available. The customers can choose between one-row and two-row seating layout. The new pickup will also get an updated infotainment system and new safety aids. That includes autonomous emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring.

Gasoline and Diesel Engine Options

Things under the bonnet will stay intact. The 2021 Holden Colorado continue to rolls on a 2.8-liter Duramax unit. This engine provides 200 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. Diesel powertrain is optional while 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline is standard. Gasoline unit is good for 200 horses and 192 lb-ft of twist.

Another gasoline engine is a 3.6-liter V6. It is also an optional drivetrain and it produces 305 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. All three engines are using the same 8-speed automatic gearbox. On top of that, AWD setup is optional.

2021 Holden Colorado Price and Release Date

Latest dimensional changes and numerous minor updates will surely raise the price. The upcoming 2021 Holden Colorado will now cost $32,000. If you want the range-topping model, you’ll have to pay over $51,000.

The compact pickup truck will hit the markets in the second half of 2020. Of course, the sales will start in Australia, before Colorado becomes available in New Zeeland and some other countries.

The forthcoming 2021 Ford F-250 will introduce numerous upgrades. The new pickup will get a hybrid powertrain, which is the most significant change. A hybrid version will arrive at the same time as the regular gasoline variant.

F-250 will get a couple of visual upgrades and numerous interior updates. Inside the cabin, F-250 will mostly get new tech. Under the hood, engine lineup will largely remain. This pickup truck offers both gasoline and diesel engines.

2021 Ford F-250 Exterior Upgrades

New 2021 Ford F-250 has been caught on the cameras. Spy shots are available and we can see the latest exterior upgrades. The new shape of the badge is similar to the Ram’s, which is both odd and interesting. The front grille looks bolder and at the back, taillights are heavily revised.

F-250 will get further aluminum work so the new model will be lighter than its predecessor. On the other hand, a high-strength steel frame is intact. This will result in the same or even better-towing capacity and payload ability. Unfortunately, Ford perfectly hides the rest of the visual changes. No doubt, Blue Oval manufacturer will surely deliver further exterior updates.

More Standard Features

Interior of the all-new 2021 Ford F-250 will gain some improvements for sure. On the other hand, most of the updates are technology-oriented. Interior layout will remain, along with the dashboard, instrument cluster, steering wheel, and gear shifter. Design is incredible and everything looks new and upscale.

Upper trim levels are offering more luxury. We like Ford’s two-tone leather seats and all-weather floor mats. This pickup truck will gain more safety aids, new infotainment system and new interface on the displays. On top of that, F-250 will now get more standard equipment.

2021 Ford F-250 Engine and Towing Rate

The arriving model will get a hybrid powertrain. We’ll get to that later. The rest of the engine lineup will remain. That means a 7.0-liter V8 is available once again. This gasoline unit recently replaced an aging 6.2-liter V8. It delivers 385 horses and 430 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic gearbox is offered and fuel economy is above average for the heavy-duty segment. Reliable 6.7-liter V8 is optional. This turbodiesel powertrain generates 450 hp and up to 935 lb-ft of torque.

Thanks to such a great torque figure, the 2012 Ford F-250 can tow around 33,000 pounds. A hybrid version is finally available. In cooperation with the Boston-based company “XL Hybrids”, Ford is greener for another hybrid. Both F-150 and F-250 models will get this type of drivetrain. We are still waiting for the exact engine specs. Surely, hybrid version is the most significant upgrade for 2021. XL Hybrids promises around 25 percent better fuel efficiency. It will be interesting to see official details.

Price and Release Date

Price of the all-new 2021 Ford F-250 will now start at $36,000. On the other hand, the range-topping Platinum trim level will cost $70,000. A hybrid version will be priced at $41,000.

Aerodynamics are improved and Ram 1500 will get lighter steel frame. The new model will be around 220 pounds lighter than its predecessor. Whatsoever, Ram 1500 is the first pickup that offers front air dam. As you probably know, crosshair grille is not available anymore. Instead, Ram will introduce new six-sided grille.

2020 Ford Bronco Pickup To Rival The New Jeep Gladiator

New rumors in the automotive industry are suggesting the 2020 Ford Bronco Pickup. This model will reportedly rival new Jeep Gladiator. According to those rumors, pickup version will be based on the Ford Ranger truck. Whatsoever, two models will share underpinnings.

Blue Oval will deliver a four-door pickup with removable roof panels, rugged appearance, and powerful engines. Ford clearly has big plans for Bronco. After the original launch of its SUV, Ford will deliver two-door and four-door variants. Moreover, hybrid and Raptor versions are in the works. A pickup truck is the latest plan that should treat the Jeep Gladiator.

2020 Ford Bronco Pickup Appearance Is Similar to the Ranger

Exterior will be extremely important for the upcoming 2020 Ford Bronco Pickup. We expect an appearance similar to the Ranger, but more rugged. However, Ford must avoid the stories about Bronco Pickup as an alternative for the Ranger model. Whatsoever, new Bronco will only focus on rivaling the Jeep Gladiator.

On the other hand, the battle between Bronco SUV and Jeep Wrangler will play an important role. We don’t know much about the exterior design. A four-door body pickup is rumored at the moment. On top of that, Bronco Pickup will arrive with a small bed in the back. Removable roof panels are a must for Ford, along with aggressive styling and unique features.

Cabin Will Be Tech-Rich

Logically, Blue Oval will deliver the interior similar to the cabin of the Bronco SUV. Of course, pickup truck variant will arrive with fewer premium features. The upcoming 2020 Ford Bronco Pickup will surely be an upscale pickup from the inside. On the other hand, Gladiator will also get a lot of cool stuff. Knowing that Ford will surely aim for the same consumer base as the Gladiator.

That means Ford will copy some of the Gladiator’s amenities and styling cues. So far, everything is pure speculation. However, we know what Gladiator has to offer. For the start, Jeep delivers a room for five and the cabin is tech-rich. Comfort is on a high level and interior is covered in soft surfaces and high-quality materials. A 5.0-inch display is standard and Ford will surely try to beat that with the 7.0-inch unit. Lockable storage, wireless speakers and removable doors and windshield are a must as well.

2020 Ford Bronco Pickup Powertrain Rumors

Blue Oval needs to deliver an electric powertrain. Rivian and Tesla are clearly sending a message to Ford with its latest pickup trucks. Ford isn’t trying to beat Gladiator model only as the bigger picture is more important. The all-new 2020 Ford Bronco Pickup could get some sort of electrification.

Jeep Gladiator is available with a conventional 3.6-liter V6 that produces 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, a 2.3-liter turbo-four from Ranger truck could be standard in Bronco Pickup variant. This engine is generating 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That is more than enough to beat the Gladiator model.

Price and Release Date

The price of the upcoming 2020 Ford Bronco Pickup is easy to determine. As a Gladiator’s rival, Bronco Pickup will start in the same range, around $30,000 for the base trim level.

Release date is not available yet. Next year is very unrealistic and some rumors are suggesting for this model to arrive in a three-year time.

The all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland will be one very interesting model. Gladiator will offer numerous trim levels but Overland is surely a very attractive option.

The upcoming pickup truck will be one of the most expensive models in its mid-size segment. Overland trim will cost even more. However, you can expect more luxury and premium amenities. On top of that, this trim level comes with better performance and more standard amenities.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland Design Will be Simular to the Wrangler SUV

As you probably know, Gladiator pickup is based on the Jeep Wrangler SUV. Transforming Wrangler into a pickup won’t be an easy task. Logically, some parts will depart from the iconic SUV. But overall, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland will look very close to Wrangler. Overland trim comes with an attractive design and more aggressiveness than the base model. A longer wheelbase is present and customers can choose between two or three-box design.

Also, a four-door configuration is available. Overland adds body-colored features, more shiny trims, and larger 18-inch wheels. Most of the exterior features are offered as standard. Still, Gladiator Overland also offers a couple of optional amenities. Whatsoever, the design is unique and styling looks very impressive. That means you can load some optional features and get a Sahara model for less money.

Cabin Appearance

Unlike the base model, the Overland trim level offers better comfort and more luxury from the inside. Thanks to its four-door body configuration, accessing the vehicle is much easier. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland pickup truck will arrive with a five-foot bed and it is the only bed choice at the moment. Gladiator will mimic Wrangler’s interior design.

Techs Inside

When it comes to technology, Overland is offering a standard 7-inch infotainment touchscreen. Optionally, you can get an 8-inch unit. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard as well. On top of that, Overland trim adds standard dual-zone climate control and power windows.

Optionally, heated seats are steering wheel are in the offer. Trail Rail cargo management system is optional too and it will improve towing capacity. As for safety, the rating isn’t that much impressive. If you want the best possible variant, you’ll have to pay $2,000 for a complete Active Safety Group.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland Engine

Just like the Wrangler SUV, Gladiator will use the same 3.6-liter V6. This unit is good for 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. On top of that, a 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic gearboxes are In the offer. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland will get stretched wheelbase and it will deliver better ride comfort. Handling is also impressive for a pickup truck, along with vehicle’s stability.

Trailer Tow Package will be optional, even on the Overland trim. Gladiator Overland can tow up to 7,650 pounds. That is more than most of the Gladiator’s rivals can tow. Fuel economy delivers 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. A four-wheel-drive system is optional and if you load it, expect slightly lower fuel efficiency.

Price and Release Date

Price of the new Gladiator pickup truck will start at $33,500. Whatsoever, the upcoming 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland will cost more, around $40,000. It is a fair offer from Jeep in every possible way.

Overland adds more luxury and better comfort. Whatsoever, it is more affordable to buy Overland trim and load optional features than buy new Sahara trim level. Jeep will release its newest pickup truck in the last quarter of 2019.

Nissan has no chill when it comes to its lineup of pickup trucks. Besides Titan and Frontier regular versions, Titan offers plenty of different variants. For example, Titan XD and Titan Warrior are available. However, the 2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x attracts the biggest interests for now. Speaking of this model, new spy photos are available. It seems like the off-road pickup will look tougher this time. Testing vehicle was spotted in Michigan a few weeks ago.

We can spot plenty of exterior upgrades. That includes small tweaks on the body and a couple of new or modified features. The interior will get some changes as well. For instance, new infotainment display is the highlight of the latest cabin changes. Under the bonnet, Titan Pro 4x will continue to deploy a 5.6-liter V8. However, some speculations are suggesting improved fuel economy.

2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x

The off-road-oriented pickup was spotted in the streets of Farmington Hills in Michigan. The 2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x version will introduce plenty of exterior modifications. For the start, this pickup truck looks tougher on the new spy photos. However, larger disguise suggests the revision of the front end.

That includes new LED running lights and a new shape of the headlights. A grille is redesigned, along with the bumpers. At the back, Titan Pro 4x will introduce redesigned taillights. We believe that Nissan will offer some new off-road equipment. On top of that, new features will be optional. The same could happen with the new optional wheels.

Improved Safety and More High-Quality Materials

In one of the spy shots, the interior layout looks different. That includes the red section drastically larger. The 2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x will get a new infotainment touchscreen. As we can see, a new unit is larger as well. On top of that, we believe for the new screen to be offered as standard. This is a huge update, as the previous display didn’t satisfy the needs of the customers.

Physical controls are now moved below the all-new touchscreen. That means you can forget about the buttons on each side of the unit. Surely, Nissan will introduce even more updates from the inside. However, we couldn’t spot any differences, besides the new display. Customers can expect improved safety and more high-quality materials.

2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x Powertrain Specs

To this moment, powertrain changes are a mystery. Surely, the 2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x will keep its existing 5.6-liter V8. First reports are suggesting a new and optional engine. However, a more likely outcome is the current unit with a couple of updates. Nissan plans to improve its fuel economy. Now, the second reports are predicting slightly more power for the existing powertrain. Both outcomes seem to be realistic. For the current model, powerful V8 produces 390 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission is offered as standard.

The 2019 model can tow up to 10,000 pounds. Now, we can maybe hope for slightly more pounds. No matter what happens with the current engine, improvements are very likely.

Price and Release Date

The upcoming 2020 Nissan Titan Pro 4x will get a small jump in price. That means we can expect for this pickup to start at around $40,000.

However, this is just a rough prediction. Nissan could surprise us and keep the price intact, despite the updates. New off-road variant will arrive before 2020.

New 2020 Canyon model has just arrived. That means we can focus on the future and the upcoming 2021 GMC Canyon Denali pickup. Current model got some serious improvements.

That includes new remote-locking tailgate, tire-fill alert and changes to standard/optional features. Unfortunately, the 2021 model will mostly arrive as a carryover. We can only expect tech updates and new safety packages. On top of that, new exterior paints are a possibility. Under the hood, Canyon Denali will largely remain. However, there is no need for a significant change. After all, Denali trim delivers big towing capacity, great driving manners, and comfortable ride.

2021 GMC Canyon Denali Design

The upcoming 2021 GMC Canyon Denali is available only in a Crew Cab variant. Just like the base model, Denali trim also comes with compact proportions. On the other hand, the Denali trim level delivers a sportier vibe and more aggressiveness. Larger lettering finished in red color is still available on the front fascia.

For 2021, GMC will introduce more silver trims and small modifications on the headlights and taillights. The grille will largely remain, just like the hood and the doors. Knowing that HID headlamps are available once again. On top of that, LED daytime running lights are also in the offer. Tow hooks and 20-inch alloy wheels are relatively fresh so we won’t see changes in this category. Whatsoever, the 2020 model introduced new remote-locking tailgate and more standard features. It is a fresh design that looks very attractive and sporty.

Cabin Details

The interior of the all-new 2021 GMC Canyon Denali will also get a small number of updates. However, the cabin looks and feels impressive. Denali trim delivers pure luxury for years and this model will be no different. The list of the standard amenities is really long and GMC offers premium materials and features. Only a couple of features are optional inside the Canyon Denali model.

Compact pickup truck offers standard perforated leather seats. The front seats are available with heating and cooling options. Contrast stitching, chrome accents, and wood trims are visible at first glance. A Jet Black interior scheme is optional and it is available once again. As for the updates, only tech features and infotainment system will be upgraded. Current model already got new tire-fill alert and new safety packages.

2021 GMC Canyon Denali Engine

There will two engine options under the hood. The 2021 GMC Canyon Denali comes with a standard 3.6-liter V6. This gasoline engine produces 310 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy delivers 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. On top of that, a 6-speed automatic gearbox is in the offer. On the other hand, a 2.8-liter diesel is an optional engine.

Duramax powertrain generates 180 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque. The diesel engine comes with the same 6-speed automatic transmission. Both powertrain options are available with two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive systems. Canyon Denali comes with great driving manners and its handling is superb. Unfortunately, a front air dam is still present which limits the off-road capabilities.

Towing Capacity

Furthermore, gasoline engine tows around 7,700 pounds while diesel over 9,000 pounds. Generally, towing capacity for the gasoline V6 is above average for the segment.

Cost and Arrival

The price of the all-new 2021 GMC Canyon Denali will remain. That means the upcoming range-topping trim level is available for $40,500. The high-performance pickup truck will go on sale next fall.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton To Get Radical Changes

According to numerous reports, Mitsubishi plans to upgrade its Triton model. Whatsoever, the 2021 Mitsubishi Triton will now get the same treatment as the Mitsubishi L200 models. Those two models are siblings but are offered in different markets. For that reason, some parts of the pickup are different. On top of that, Mitsu will deliver the same mechanical upgrades.

You can find Triton on some other markets, besides L200 nameplate, this pickup is available as Barbarian and Strakar. Triton will remain a mid-size pickup truck. Huge return of Ram Dakota will surely make other manufacturers to additionally upgrade their models.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton Updates

This is not official yet, but 2021 Mitsubishi Triton could be the next-generation model. It makes perfect sense after the current model failed to provide significant changes. Knowing that new Triton will now look closer to its sibling, the L200 model. Mitsubishi plans to make those two models equal. For the same reason, Triton will get a lot of L200 treatment. Visually, you can expect to see some radical changes. The front fascia will get new grille and headlights.

The rear will also gain new features, such as bumper and taillights. Aerodynamics is another thing that will Mitsubishi focus on. As a result, the 2021 Triton will look more attractive and modern. Triton will arrive with the same platform and same dimensions as its predecessor.

Cabin Design

For the start, the interior layout will largely remain. That means the 2021 Mitsubishi Triton will offer a room for five passengers once again. The upcoming pickup truck will look more upscale from the inside this time. Mitsubishi will deliver a couple of significant upgrades.

That includes more high-quality materials, new upholstery, and a new shape of the air vents. More chrome trims, larger displays, and numerous optional features will be in the offer. On top of that, a longer list of standard amenities is a very likely outcome. However, the layout of the buttons and controls will stay intact.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton Engine

Now, this is where things are getting interesting. The 2021 Mitsubishi Triton should offer the same engine lineup as the U.S. variant called L200. A 3.6-liter V6 will be the standard engine from now on. On top of that, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder diesel will become available. This unit produces 180 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque. A larger 2.5-liter diesel is another likely option.

The new gasoline engine will be a 2.4-liter unit that generates 145 horsepower. Whatsoever, this powertrain will be offered as standard. That means there will be at least three engine options for now. Some reports are strongly suggesting new engine for the range-topping trim level. That means we can expect new gasoline powertrain that will produce over 300 horses.

Price and Release Date

The forthcoming 2021 Mitsubishi Triton will be the next-gen model. For that reason, a new version will cost slightly more, at around $35,000. New Triton will now look closer to its L200 sibling.

The main reason is the return of the Ram Dakota, an iconic pickup truck. Mid-size pickup segment is stronger than ever. For that reason, we could expect other manufacturers to deliver more significant changes as well. New Triton will hit the dealerships in the second half of 2020.
