I've owned my 2007 Raider since Jan of 07. I love it, trans. a little rough, brakes a little shaky. Those are my only complaints, oh and fuel mileage. For the price and having it loaded with extras I can't complain too much. I compare it to Toyota as that's all I would own other than Mits. for truck purposes.

2007 Mitsubishi Raider SE 4dr Double Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

My truck is sharp and loaded! The SE has a nice equipment package. Sorry no leather interior or heated seats. It's 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.

When I found out that Mits was bringing back the truck I was ecstatic. I have had mine for 9 months and I love everything about it. The Handling is awesome especially on curves. When I drive it if feels like a truck but it has the comfort of a car. The stereo system is among the best for standard equipment, mine came with free satellite radio for a year. The manufactures warranty is also among the best in the market. My kids and I love the room inside the double cab. We have taken it to the coast several times and have has lost of fun. The only thing I would trade is the MPG but hey, its a truck. If you are thinking about getting a truck take a look at the Raider.

I've now owned my Raider for 7 months now & still dread the day I purchased it. The look & style caught my attention as well as the price, but don't get e wrong looks aren't everything. The truck is durable from impact don't get me wrong, I was in a big car accident, & even through the crash was big, my car came out the barely damaged. On the other hand the other suv was a total loss. Performance is what lacks mostly. Worst truck to go to the mountains. Going uphill took a lot of power & a full tank of gas, as well on the freeway the truck takes a long time to get to the speed limit & a struggle to maintain. The only faults on interior is that the center console tend to break easily.
Disappointing

3.7 v6, 6 speed manual. It's the only (seemingly) close ratio, long handled,6 speed bolted to a painfully under powered (yet terribly inefficient) engine in a 1/2 ton pick up, I've ever come across. Unless it was being towed, 16 mpg hwy is about as good as it gets. In hot weather (100 daily where I live) fuel efficiency fades even worse. The speed limit is 80 here, but it wouldn't stay there, and at 11mpg, I quit trying. (My 71 Buick with a 7 ltr engine got 13). Had it checked out repeatedly, and other than spark plugs (normal maintenance) the diagnosis was the same each time.. "loose nut on the steering wheel", for expecting more. I drive A LOT for work (50K a year). I'm definitely getting something "economical" next.. like a Suburban, or an antique Rivera. It's a great concept, but the engineering just isn't there. Heaviest load it has carried for me was groceries for a week. A/C evaporator absolutely floods the passenger side floor until you do the sealant mods on the firewall under the hood, passenger side, between the firewall and the right bank converter. (It's a job). 153,000 miles, 3 clutches (throwout bearing each time), 3 batteries, tail shaft seal, and pinion seal. It's gotta be a heat issue, and since I'm not an automotive design engineer, I'm going to buy a truck that had engineers on staff when it was built. Update almost a year later-I guess all I had to do was talk a bunch smack about it, because it’s been fine ever since, but hwy mpg is still embarrassingly low and painful at 75-80 mph=11-13 mpg. Those are normal freeway speeds where I live. When you’re driving a truck that gets 11mpg hwy, that truck needs to be a 4wd, 1 ton, long bed dually, with a 7.5 or 8 ltr engine upfront. It gets 16 in the city, no problem, but it clearly doesn’t have enough torque in normal operating rpm range (2k to 2300) to push the box through the air on high speed limit freeways.
