Mitsu Pick Up - 10/8/2007 8:35:00 PM    zman764   Posts: 19 Joined: 4/11/2007 Status: offline Ok so the Raider looks nice... but its a freaking dodge dakota. Will Mitsubishi ever make their own truck for sale in the US?  I loved my Mighty Max and would give anything for Mitsu to make a tough little cheap truck like that again.  I found the Mitsubishi Triton online and I would spend 20-25k on one of them things.  That truck is sweet!  If mitsu brought a compact - midsize truck to the us with a turbo deisle in it.  They would kill!  There is a huge market for that here.  Ford is about to launch the 09 modley year f150 (will be full redesign w/ multiple new engines) with a 4.4L Turbo Charged v8 deisle w/ around 400-500 ft lbs of torque.  That will be a bad ass truck.  But I'd prefer a mitsu. Just wonderin if anybody knows where I could find some info about future mitsu trucks maybe?  Thanks! Post #: 1

RE: Mitsu Pick Up - 10/9/2007 6:23:22 AM    zman764   Posts: 19 Joined: 4/11/2007 Status: offline Is it still just a dressed up dodge dakota though?  I want a mitsu engineered truck.  I have a 4x4 F-150 with 215,000k miles on it and it still runs perfectly and its only ever had minor repair problems here and there.  I have tons of respect for Fords pickups, but I still think my old mighty max was a better truck than my F-150.  If mitsu ever did think about bringing the Triton or L200 whatever its "real" name is, to the US where could I find information.  Where is there information about future mitsu vehicles?

RE: Mitsu Pick Up - 10/9/2007 12:46:47 PM    zman764   Posts: 19 Joined: 4/11/2007 Status: offline I agree I think the Raider is a good lookin truck and I looked up the Street one and it looks sweet too.  But its a dodge dakota and the dakota & rams are not very solid trucks in my opinioni, and that means the same about the raider.  Because its just a dakota with a new front clip, tailights, badges... basic junk.  I am not poopooing it just because of dodge.  I have a 2002 dodge neon in addition to my f150 and I think the neon is a very solid, reliable car.  Its up to 52k miles on it and the breaks still have another 20-30k miles left in them.  the only issues I've had with the neon was a girl drove it one time and hit a pot hole hard enough to knock the front end alignment way off.  I wish the breaks on my F-150 could last 80k miles, but on the other hand I can jump it 2 feet in the air at 40 mph and the alignment has no problems after landing. The ball joints on my F-150 started squeaking and wearing out after 190,000 miles.  My buddy bought a brand new ram and another friend bought a new toyota.  The ram broke...BROKE a ball joint after hitting a pothole.  And the toyota had a recal on the ball joints.  Did I mention I routinley jump my f150 2 feet in the air at 40 mph?  My 1988 mitsubishi mighty max that I miss the hell out of, went 120,000 miles before I had to replace ball joints in it.
