Mitsubishi L200 pickup dimensions and specs (2015-2019)
The Series 5 Mitsubishi L200 is one of the more compact pickups of its generation, and this does reduce its working practicality somewhat.
Payload, loadbed size and - until 2018 - towing capacity all fall short of the class leaders, though it does make up for this with keen performance and good value.

The Mitsubishi L200 Series 5 pickup truck was sold in three bodytypes: Single Cab, Crew Cab and Double Cab.
Most popular were the Double Cab models, which have passenger space for five people but the smallest load space; Single Cab models have space for just two people but the longest loadspace, while Crew Cabs fall between the two with occasional rear seats and a medium-sized cargo area.

*applies to Titan specification as well as 4Life
The differences between 4Life Double Cab (plus Titan in some cases) and other Double Cab models is due to chunkier bodywork, designed to appeal to lifestyle buyers.
Mitsubishi's own technical data lists limited edition L200 Barbarian SVP variants as having the same width as the regular Barbarian Double Cab, but these models are fitted with modest wheelarch extensions, making them slightly wider.

Can the Mitsubishi L200 tow 3.5 tonnes?
From launch in 2015 until the beginning of 2018, the L200 was restricted to towing 3.1 tonnes at best - some 400kg shy of the class leaders.
Engineering changes for the 2018 model boosted this to the full 3.5 tonnes. However, this is only legal in combination with a three-axle trailer - one- and two-axle trailers remain restricted to 3.1 tonnes.
Either way, the L200's low kerbweight means that it can carry more in the back while towing to its maximum than almost every rival.
It can also tow 3.5 tonnes while using four-wheel drive on tarmac, thanks to its centre differential - a rare capability.
