Mitsubishi Triton Wiper Blade Sizes

This guide helps you find the right windscreen wiper blades for your Mitsubishi Triton. It covers every generation listed here, from the earliest to the newest. You do not need to know anything about wipers to use it. Just find the years that match your ute, then note the driver side and passenger side sizes. That is all there is to it.

Wiper sizes differ between Triton generations. They also differ between the driver side and the passenger side on the same ute. So the two blades are not always the same length. Take a moment to check which generation you have before you buy anything.

Start by finding your generation in the list below. Read the years and the model code, then note the driver side and passenger side sizes. Each generation also shows how the blade attaches to the arm, so you can match that too. Keep the sizes handy when you shop, and match each side to its own size.

Mitsubishi Triton wiper sizes for each generation

For this generation, the driver side takes a 22 inch (550 mm) blade and the passenger side takes an 18 inch (450 mm) blade. Fit each blade to its own side, because the two lengths are not the same. Before you start, look at how the old blade sits on the arm so you can copy the same position with the new one. Take your time and press the new blade firmly into place until it clicks.

This generation uses a 22 inch (550 mm) blade on the driver side and an 18 inch (450 mm) blade on the passenger side. Check both sizes against your ute before buying, since the two sides differ. When fitting, line the new blade up with the arm and ease it on rather than forcing it. Once it is on, give it a gentle tug to confirm it is secure, then lower the arm back to the glass.

Here the driver side needs a 22 inch (550 mm) blade, while the passenger side needs a 17 inch (425 mm) blade. Keep the two sizes separate so you do not mix them up. A good habit is to fit one side at a time and check it before moving to the other. Make sure the blade sits flat against the glass along its whole length before you finish.

For this generation, the driver side takes a 21 inch (525 mm) blade and the passenger side takes a 19 inch (475 mm) blade. These two lengths are close, so double-check which is which before fitting. Rest the arm gently on the glass as you work, and avoid letting it snap back. When the new blade is in place, run the wipers once to see that both sides sweep cleanly.

This generation uses a 20 inch (500 mm) blade on the driver side and an 18 inch (450 mm) blade on the passenger side. Confirm the sizes for your own ute before you buy. When changing blades, hold the arm steady so it does not spring back onto the glass. Fit the new blade fully onto the arm, then check that it moves freely and sits evenly along the windscreen.

For this generation, both the driver side and the passenger side take a 16 inch (400 mm) blade. Even though the sizes match, still fit each blade to its own side and check the fit. Work on one arm at a time and keep the other in place. Once both are fitted, lower the arms gently and make sure each blade rests flat against the glass.

How to work out which Mitsubishi Triton you have

To work out your generation, look at the years your Triton was built and compare them with the list above. The model code in brackets can help too, and you can often find it on your paperwork or on the vehicle itself. If your ute sits right at a changeover year, check carefully so you pick the correct generation.

Once you know your generation, note the driver side size and the passenger side size separately. They are often different, so buy one blade for each side rather than assuming they match. Match each blade to its own side when you fit it, and check the attachment shown for your generation so the new blade suits your arm.

When to replace your wiper blades

Worn wiper blades show themselves in small ways at first. You may see streaks or smears left across the glass, or hear a squeak as the blade moves. Sometimes the blade judders or skips instead of sweeping smoothly. These are all signs that the rubber has started to wear.

Look closely at the blade itself. The rubber can split, crack or go hard over time. If the edge looks ragged or pieces are missing, the blade is past its best. Poor visibility in rain is another clear warning. If you find yourself straining to see, the blades are not doing their job.

Good visibility matters for safe driving. Worn blades can leave you guessing in heavy rain, and that is when you need a clear view most. Replacing them is quick and simple. Do not wait for a storm to remind you. Check your blades now and then, and change them when they start to let you down.

Looking after your wipers

Look after your wipers and they will look after you. Clean the glass regularly, because dirt and film wear the rubber faster. Wipe the blade edges with a damp cloth now and then to remove grit. Sun and dust are hard on rubber, so park in shade where you can.

When you clean the windscreen, lift the arms off the glass carefully and lower them gently rather than letting them snap back. Check your washer fluid so you can clear the glass when you need to. A little routine care keeps the blades working well and helps them last.

Wiper blade tips

• Check your generation before buying any blades.
• Note the driver side and passenger side sizes separately.
• Fit one blade at a time and check it before the next.
• Lower the wiper arms gently, never let them snap back.
• Wipe the blade edges clean when you wash the glass.
• Replace blades when they streak, squeak or smear.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which Triton generation I have?

Compare the build years of your ute with the years listed for each generation above. The model code in brackets can help confirm it. If your ute falls near a changeover year, check carefully so you choose the right one.

Are the driver and passenger blades the same size?

Not always. On most generations listed here the two sides are different lengths. Note each side separately before you buy, and fit each blade to its own side.

Can I use the same size on both sides?

Only where the guide shows the same size for both sides. Otherwise, match each blade to the size given for that side. Using the wrong length can affect how well the blade clears the glass.

How often should I replace my wiper blades?

Replace them when you notice streaks, smears, squeaks or juddering, or when the rubber looks split or cracked. Poor visibility in rain is a clear sign it is time. Check them now and then rather than waiting for a storm.

Why do my new blades squeak?

A squeak can come from a dirty windscreen or grit on the blade edge. Clean the glass and wipe the blade edges with a damp cloth. If it continues, check that the blade is fitted correctly and sitting flat.

What should I check before fitting new blades?

Confirm your generation and both sizes first. Note how the old blade attaches to the arm so you can copy it. Fit one side at a time, press the blade fully into place, and lower the arm gently onto the glass.
