NFI about the airbags.

The new Triton has the same size diffs as the last of the solid axle Pajeros. These are approaching Patrol size and strength, and rarely fail. Factory rear locker available, ARB locker for the front.

I can't comment on new 'lux drive train.

3" lift would be pushing an earlier Pajero, which has droop travel limited by big chunky stops. I believe the new Triton shares the current Pajero front suspension, which uses the shock absorbers to limit droop travel - so longer shocks should allow more lift, but you'd need to watch what happens at max compression.

The limiting factor on lift would be driveshaft angle. I've heard Mitsubishi IFS drive shafts are longer than most, so they can achieve a bigger lift for any given change in angle.

If you're happy to live with IFS, the Triton should be on your list. Let us know what you find out.

Cheers,

Scott

The extra cab was not brought into Australia.

There is a PDF available for download of all the features on the mitsubishi official site re airbags etc.
