This Year's Model Updates:

The Mitsubishi Raider lineup is revised for 2007, resulting in four Double Cab (crew cab) versions and one extended-cab model. The XLS trim has been dropped and will be replaced by the new SE later in the model year. Initially, only V6 power will be available, as last year's 4.7-liter V8 will only be offered in the upcoming SE trim level.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior, nimble handling, choice of part- or full-time four-wheel drive, longer warranty than its Dodge twin.
Cons:

  • 2007 Raider 4WD Double Cab (3.7) - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    Ive now had this truck for over two years and have used it both as a truck and for transportation. Ive had no problems with it. As a matter of fact it is a well built truck with a great design inside and out. I would like a bit more performance (power and fuel economy) and recently installed the K&N filter. Im curious if adding a performance cat back system would help.

  • So Far, I Love It! - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider

    To anyone out there who is not sure about the Raider...I am a believer in it! I have come across a few bad reports of Raiders but for me, overall its the baddest truck on my block for sure! It has handsome styling, a smooth ride, and a nice sound system. Its everything that I was looking for and the price was decent for me also. I got it for $23,000 with a lot of extras on it. So far I am definitely in love with it, and I hope others feel the same way.

  • Get one Before theyre Gone - go w/ V8 SE - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    My truck is sharp and loaded! The SE has a nice equipment package. Sorry no leather interior or heated seats. Its cool Mitsu stylin inside and out. The SE Value Package has the 6500 lb towing capacity I need for my trailer and the right blend of interior power/comfort/electronics features inside for my daily commute. If you need a big but nimble midsize to tow with and were waiting for the right price like I was, find a Raider SE.

  • Great in the V8 - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider

    I absolutely love the Mitsu. I have had it 7 months and already have over 12,000 on the odo. I haul my boat and trailer with ease and haul cargo around pretty nimbly. It is a great truck to work in or style in, especially if you dont want the hassle of trying to drive around and park in a full size pickup.

  • Disappointed - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    I had always been an avid proponent of Nissan but thought this looked like a good deal. And it was for the first 2 years or so. Then it was one mechanical problem after another. First was the cam sensor. Replaced it twice. Then the catalytic converter broke and had to replace it. Then it wouldnt go into reverse and replaced the rear torque converter and other things. Then the front pump seal went. Thats when I called it quits. The worst part about it was I loved everything else about the truck. Even with the full warranty coverage I was tried of taking it in for repairs that took a minimum of 3 days and being left carless. So traded it in for a used Toyota 4runner.

    Great truck for the price. The only complaint I have is that it has some road noise. Other than that I love it.

  • Returning to an Old Friend - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    The last truck I owned was a 1997 Dodge Dakota. I was in the market to buy one again, the size always seemed perfect, but I dont like the styling of the new Dakota. So I took a look at the Raider, which is its structural twin, even assembled at the same plant. The handling has been improved vastly, and the new version is even lighter then my previous. 1997 Dakota weighed in at 5,480 lbs w/ V-8 & std. cab and Raider is 4,287 lbs w/ V-6 and extended cab. Being 1,200 lbs lighter and only 20 HP short of my last, it accelerated very nice, and the economy is better, although like all of us Id like to see it a little better. Maybe they can bring the 5-speed auto to the V-6 next year.

  • 07 Raider SE 4.7L V-8 - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    Was looking for a Dakota but like others did not like the new front end. After looking at other mid size trucks and comparing the prices decide to go with this one. Love the V-8 and get the same mpg as a V-6 is great. Has good power and the truck rides great. Interior is comfortable and the kids love all the room they have in the back.

  • Great Price - Great Performance - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    I bought the 2007 truck one year ago. I have never regretted it. What attracted me to this truck was the value. I compared all other 4 door trucks - none came close to the price. The nearest truck in its class was $8k more. Other than the Sirius radio, nothing fancy. Good fit and finish. Cloth seats are comfortable. Smooth and quiet ride. The low gear ratio gives it a gutsy feel. The 6 cylinders make the engine responsive - not enough to burn rubber, but confident to pass on the highway. The only downside is the gas mileage - not bad, but not good either. I average around 16-17 in the city and about 18-20 on the highway. Overall, Im very happy with the performance.

  • Good truck inexperienced service - 2007 Mitsubishi Raider
    By -

    INQUIRY DETAILS I have a 2007 Raider extended cab trouble free for so far, 81,000 miles. Its like a Dakota but only 3/4 of the cost and a bit more style.The V6 does not have a lot of power for towing but it sure uses a lot less gas than my F150 did. Quiet and stable on the highway, good trade off between load carrying and ride. I would buy another one. The only thing I would change is the factory Goodyear tires wore out fast and had poor traction in the rain and snow. This truck is basically a dodge underneath and the Mitsubishi dealership knows not much about them. When the truck has 17,000 miles they recommended that the transmission would need some work on warranty.
