Mitsubishi's 2006 Dakota-based mid-size pickup truck, the Raider, will be officially introduced in January at the NAIAS. But we caught a sneak peek this week as it was being transported inSouthern California.

The Cypress, California-designed Raider will be powered by a 3.7-liter V-6 with 210 horsepower, or an optional 4.7-liter V-8 with 230 hp.

Watch for the Raider to arrive in dealerships in the fall of 2005.

 

looks kinna like a titan/tacoma

 

At least they are trying to build nicer cars. Thats a pretty sharp looking truck

 

it is the same thing as dodge dakota.

 

3.7-liter V-6 with 210 horsepower, or an optional 4.7-liter V-8 with 230 hp

4.7 liter V-8 with 230 hp is not make sense.

 

Yeah lol 20 hp and you need to up the liters and up it to a V8? LOL I can put exhaust on the V6 and probably have more power n better gas milage lol..

Maybe its like 320 HP or something ..

 

I think Mitsubishi's vehicles are getting uglier and uglier, no wonder their so broke. That looks nothing like a tacoma. If I was to buy a truck I would get the supercharged Toyota Tacoma Xrunner.

 

The 230HP with the V8 might be a typo, but either way you can bet the V8 has a lot more torque, which is more significant/useful in a pickup than a little extra HP.

 

If the horsepower is true, then that truck = failure.

 

At last we are getting the Mitsu truck back!! More pics and details pls.

 

Why not bring a Japanese-designed and manufactured truck, as opposed to an American-manufactured Japanese badged truck?

 

Its cheaper.

 

low hp but high torque?
