  • Raidin - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider

    I love this truck. I have never had any vehicle that gets so many second looks and stares. It rides great, drives great, looks great, its just an all around great truck. No other truck that I looked at could come close in price when equipped with just the basics my Raider came with.

  • Great work truck - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider

    Bought my 06 Raider brand new and finally got rid of it with just over 101,000 worry free miles. It was a good truck and very relaible. The only complaint that I ever had was the not so good mpgs which averaged only 15 to 16 no matter how I drove. Maybe a five or six speed auto would have made that better.

    Apples to apples the Mitsubishi Raider is as good as any light truck that I have driven. The lovely thing about it is that its cheaper. I have had great results with my Raider, and I use it for everything, I have filled it with firewood, and could hardly tell the difference. Driving it I forget it is a truck, it feels like a car.

  • Nice Truck, Great Value, Poor Fuel MPG - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    Ive had this truck for most of this year and its a good truck. The V8 pulls the wave runners and camper easily. The back seat with the double cab has plenty of room, its a fabulous looking truck. No problems so far. The gas mileage though is very poor and I was hoping for a few MPG better than Im getting with mostly highway driving. Mine came fully and the 5 year warranty make it a great value. All leather, V8, power everything, 5 disc changer, bluetooth, etc. I like it.

  • It is a Shame... - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    I heard this truck will no longer be sold. Mitsubishi will stop its production. It is a shame because this Dakota makeup is the best truck I have driven in years besides the additional benefits like 5/60k warranty and lots of toys included for a very reasonable price. I owned a 02 Dodge Dakota equipped with the same engine; when I tested the Raider the salesman told me the trucks are the same. I only needed the demo ride to know this guy was wrong, the Raider is a superior vehicle in all areas. This 4.7 engine made by Daimler is the best in all the Chrysler/Dodge inventory. I suggest adding a K&N filter to improve gas mileage and wow you will see the acceleration. Take care not burn too much rubber.

  • Nice Truck Among All Small Trucks - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    I told myself that I would never buy a truck ever in my life. That was until I saw the Raider. I didnt even know Mitsubishi went back to the pickup business, til I saw the truck at the dealer. Its a nice truck and it rides nice. Everything in it is nice. Plus it comes with a good waranty. You wont pay a dime for the scheduled maintenance. I will enjoy driving this truck for a while.

  • A Serious Owners Review - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    I have had this truck for under a year. Within the first 2,000 miles after driving a 3 hour continuous ride the truck overheated - next I have been fighting with my dealer for 10 months to get the LOUD rattling of the poorly designed and poorly secured rubber bumper to be fixed. They say its the design and normal noise. If I paid all this money for a MAJOR loud rattle I would have gotten a cheap used car - under a year, also the molding around the wheel flares are ALL getting unglued. I am going to proceed with my lemon lawsuit (DO NOT PURCHASE ONE!)

  • The Truck - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    With the loss of the Montero Sport I wanted somthing that was different and bought the truck. Its been a great ride, lots of power and with Bluetooth and satellite radio ready, I am good to go.

  • This truck is a dream - 2006 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    This truck has it all, its roomy, reliable, pulls your boat, huals all of your family, and you enjoy driving it. It rides like a dream.
