Mitsubishi Triton Wheel Nut Torque Specs — Australia (MQ, MR, 2023+)

<h1>Mitsubishi Triton Wheel Nut Torque Specs — Australia (MQ, MR, 2024+)</h1>

<p>The Mitsubishi Triton is a solid choice for Australian tradies and off-road tourers, and in 2024 it was completely redesigned. Whether you own an MQ, MR, or the new 2024+ Triton, here are the correct <a href="/bolt-size-chart">wheel nut size reference</a> <a href="/lug-nut-torque">lug nut torque specs</a>s.</p>

<h2>Triton Wheel Nut Torque by Generation</h2>

<table>

<thead><tr><th>Generation</th><th>Years</th><th>Torque</th><th>Thread</th><th>Wrench Size</th></tr></thead>

<tbody>

<tr><td>2024+ Triton (all-new)</td><td>2024–2025</td><td><strong>130 Nm (96 ft-lb)</strong></td><td>M12 × 1.5</td><td>21mm</td></tr>

<tr><td>MR (facelift)</td><td>2019–2023</td><td><strong>108 Nm (80 ft-lb)</strong></td><td>M12 × 1.5</td><td>21mm</td></tr>

<tr><td>MQ</td><td>2015–2019</td><td><strong>108 Nm (80 ft-lb)</strong></td><td>M12 × 1.5</td><td>21mm</td></tr>

<p></tbody></table> The 2024 all-new Triton (codenamed ZM) significantly revised the chassis and suspension — the wheel nut torque increased from 108 Nm to 130 Nm. If you own a 2024 or 2025 Triton, confirm your generation before torquing.</p>

<h2>Which Spec Applies to Your Triton?</h2>

<ul>

<li><strong>GLX, GLX+, GLS, Exceed, GSR (2019–2023 MR)</strong> → <strong>108 Nm</strong></li>

<li><strong>GLX, GLS, Exceed, GSR (2015–2019 MQ)</strong> → <strong>108 Nm</strong></li>

<li><strong>Any 2024+ all-new Triton</strong> → <strong>130 Nm</strong></li>

</ul>

<h2>Tightening Sequence</h2>

<p>The Triton uses a 6-stud hub. Always use a star (cross) pattern:</p>

<ol>

<li>Hand-tighten all 6 nuts</li>

<li>First pass: ~55 Nm in star pattern</li>

<li>Final pass: 108 Nm or 130 Nm (generation-dependent) in star pattern</li>

</ol>

<h2>Re-torque After 50–100 km</h2>

<p>Any wheel removal — tyre change, rotation, lift kit, <a href="/lug-nut-torque">check your lug nut torque</a> — requires a re-torque check after 50 to 100 km of driving. This applies to all Triton generations.</p>

<h2>Triton Wheel and Hub Specifications</h2>

<table>

<thead><tr><th>Specification</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead>

<tbody>

<tr><td>Bolt pattern</td><td>6 × 139.7 mm</td></tr>

<tr><td>Hub bore</td><td>108.0 mm</td></tr>

<tr><td>Wheel nut type</td><td>Conical seat (60°)</td></tr>

<tr><td>Stud thread</td><td>M12 × 1.5</td></tr>

<tr><td>Wrench size</td><td>21mm</td></tr>

</tbody></table>

<h2>Aftermarket Wheels on Triton</h2>

<p>Aftermarket wheels fitted to an MQ or MR Triton must use <a href="/bolt-size-chart">aftermarket wheels</a> conical-seat nuts — the factory conical seat angle is 60°. Some cheap aftermarket nuts use a ball-seat or shank-style design that won't seat correctly, causing uneven clamping and vibration. Always match the seat type, not just the thread pitch and nut size.</p>
