Mitsubishi has made a number of cosmetic additions to the exterior and interior of the Triton.

Also part of the Athlete package is black 17-inch alloy wheels, side steps, ORVMs, and door handles. There are black and orange decals on the front bumper, rear bumper, and the sides.
The black and orange theme continues on inside as well. Black upholstery with orange inlays to match the body graphics adorn the seats. The seat back and floor mats bear 'Athlete' lettering. There is contrast stitching on the seats, steering wheel, gear knob, door panel, storage box, and center console. In terms of equipment, the Mitsubishi Triton Athlete gets an 8-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat and a touchscreen AVN with Apple CarPlay support.
