Great truck for the money, excellent ride, and a lot of head, and leg room. Great warranty, nice six speed! Nice body features. Gas mileage a bit costly, but now days what isn't?
Good truck inexperienced service

INQUIRY DETAILS I have a 2007 Raider extended cab trouble free for so far, 81,000 miles. It's 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.

Just bought the truck. Was looking for value, and found it in this truck. Original MSRP was $29.5K, but I bought mine for $13.2K, with only 21,000 miles on the odo. Lucky to have found this one. Used Dakotas are selling for more. I guess not too many are aware of this truck. If you're in the market for a Dakota, definitely look at the Mitsu. It's the same truck underneath. By the way, checking the internet is the way to go. My truck was stickered on the lot for $17.9K.

I purchased my raider in 2006 brand new and after a while I took it upon myself to improve the fuel economy by installing a cold air intake kit that brought me up to getting as much as 24 mpg on the highway and about 19 in the city. The ride is great and comfortable, she's fun to drive and I am going to upgrade it with more parts to help make her more fuel efficient and fun to drive by switching to a performance exhaust and higher performance spark plugs and cables which will be an inexpensive yet effective upgrade. I look forward to many more years of driving my Raider.

Bought a 2007 Raider and when it rains...it rains inside the truck on the passenger side floorboard. According to Mitsubishi, I am the only one with this problem! Lucky Me

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, I'm very happy with the performance.
I bought this new, as a leftover.

I bought this in Feb, 2009, a 2008 model. At this time, it has 187,000 miles on it. It has been serviced and still rides nice., the Goodyear Wranglers go almost 70,000 miles. Airbags replaced under a recall. Wish I could post a picture. (I did replace the starter 3 times, finally got one out of LKQ, no issues.) –---- Now 202,000 miles, a few issues. Had to add some Freon, only once in its entire life. It's a really good truck. Wish I could buy a new one. Update...212,000 miles, problem free!

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 don't want the hassle of trying to drive around and park in a full size pickup.

Have had the truck just over a month and fuel mileage is not what I expected. Have been told it will get more after some break in, but don't really believe that. Thought I'd get at least 24 on the highway but struggles to get 20. Take off power from dead stand still really slow. Transmission a little clunky. Traded in a 98 Ford F150 and got a pretty good deal but not much improvement on gas mileage. Truck does have nice body and does ride better on rougher roads. Interior features are OK. Like the white background speedometer panel. Has pretty nice interior room. Wished I had looked around some more since fuel prices are so high now and looked at something with better fuel mileage.

This is my first truck and I like it. So as for the mileage still trying to get a handle on it but it seems to be around 17 or 18 in town. I thought the 40/20/40 bench seat would be awful but it surprised me and makes you believe that you have bucket seats. Like the storage in the armrest. So far I am happy with it and it looks good.
Was my 1st truck and i still own it

I first bought it in nov 2008. I elected to get the 4x2, but regret not spending the extra $3k in order to get the 4x4 b/c of where i now live. Comes with great tires (Goodyear wrangler) which i got a lot of life out of (at least 6-7yrs worth, down to 2/32 before i replaced them). This truck does NOT have traction control. Mine came bumper to bumper 3yr/36, 5yr/100k, and then 10yr on something else - i forget what exactly. I’ve had the truck for 11years and still currently own it. I have 117,000 miles on it currently. I’ve not had any issues w/ the engine or the tranny. Obviously owning the truck while under warranty the first few years, life is great. You’re mostly doing general maintenance - oil changes every 3k-3500 miles, and replacing brake pads. I off-roaded in this truck - that was FUN - but i got stuck lots due to it being a 4x2. My major repairs seemed to start coming around when the majority of warranty expired, b/t 60k-85k. I always regularly maintained it, but i noticed at that mark, i was starting to go thru wheel bearings a lot and i don’t drive it hard either. In the 11yrs i’ve owned it, I’ve done both back bearings once and replaced the front ones at least 6-8+ times. I also replaced brakes/rotors at least 3-4 times (can’t remember the exact mileage mark but it was b/t 60k-100k). Replaced a driveshaft or camshaft bearing when it was around 82k - not sure that happened. Corporate says O2 sensors never fail, but due to a dishonest garage, i had to replace mine around the 85k mark as well as the computer since they fried it (the pc was covered under emissions though). After 100k miles i’ve had to replace a couple tranny lines, a brake line, both calipers at least once (front brakes locked on me may 2018), just replaced another front right caliper a few days ago (as it was leaking brake fluid), another 2 front wheel bearings 3 wks ago (Jan 2018), and now at 117k i need a water pump since there is coolant leaking. This is my next upcoming repair along w/ rear brakes/drums that have been getting low since may 2018. Also due to a dishonest garage, i had to replace my rack & pinion in Jan 2018. It’s been quite a ride. I honestly think if it wasn’t for some dishonest mech’s working on it, i prob wouldn’t have had to do the r&p, the 02 sensor or the driveshaft bearing. Imo, the body quality of the raider sucks compared to Nissan and Toyota. It dents/rusts easily. I agree that it does take a lil to get up/go on the acceleration end. It passes great when you need to pass someone though. Gas mileage is 16/20 to start, now maybe 18/22. It’s a v6. No issues w/ engine or tranny yet. Downside for most repairs on this truck, you have to replace the whole unit instead of just the part that has the problem. Bottom line, it’s not a bad truck but if you need something to tow or carry heavy loads - look elsewhere. If you just want a truck to get around town, or just to drive one, then look at this or a Subaru Baja. It’s served me well but the golden years are over and now it’s just all costly repairs that i don’t think should be manifesting themselves at the 117k mark for an ‘08. I’d think more like at the 150k-200k+ mark. I bought it cuz it was only $20k (the incentive was $10k) plus i had other discounts. I wanted a frontier, canyon, or Colorado at that time but they had horrible incentives and it was gonna cost much more. Kinda kicking myself for not getting one of those now b/c of what i’m going thru now. Considering trading in the raider for a frontier or Chevy though. Def not going w/ another mitsubishi that’s for sure.

I've now had this truck for over two years and have used it both as a truck and for transportation. I've 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. I'm curious if adding a performance cat back system would help.

I have had my Raider truck now for exactly 3 years, I have grown attached to it by now. Last year the lights on the dash went out and the dealer had to replace the entire gadget board. Then about 3 months ago the steering locked, the chip on the key was not longer being recognized by the computer and the steering column had to be removed. It was not the chip on the key it was the computer ion the steering. The worst part is that the Mitsubishi dealer in Fresno, went out of business and closed and the nearest dealer is now about 30 minutes away. I still love my truck, but I probably would get a different truck because of all the trouble that I had with this one.

I love my Raider a lot! I don't agree with how some reviews mention 'cheap' plastic. This truck is very solid in its build. I love the sound system, the handling, and it definitely has a lot of power. I am in love with my Raider as well! All that I wish is that gas prices would go down!
Awesome Truck!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 don't 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 I'd like to see it a little better. Maybe they can bring the 5-speed auto to the V-6 next year.

Looks great-mileage is still improving, have only 3000 mi on it. Am getting 18 to 20 in town-no hwy. drive yet-handles great-ride is wonderful (car like). Roomy compared to my 02 Ranger XLT-if it proves as reliable as Ranger-will be terrific. Price was right. V-6 Plenty of power for me. Cruising along at 50mph results in no more than 14 to 1500rpm.

Had the truck for 3 weeks, 16 mpg no matter how you drive around town..18 on the highway.Truck seems to be solid built but extremely underpowered with the 3.7 v6. Small inside cab as an old day small import is but the outside will fool you as it appears to be a full size truck. Might as well buy a full sized Silverado or F150 concerning the gas mileage and engine size for weight ratio. Had it to do over, would not buy one with the v6 would opt for the v8- then price wise- a Silverado or Ford with a v8 would be cheaper and more comfortable inside. Feels like a 4cyl powered truck. Nice design power train leaves room for beter power to weight ration and definitely pick up-a VW bug will do it in!

Purchases this truck less then a month ago. 1st fill up got 19 mpg, mostly highway with ac on. Acceleration is what I expected with a 6cyl, and the ride is very smooth, almost car like. Owned a Colorado previously, and this truck surpasses the Chevy in every category. Manual seat is still comfortable, and had no problem finding a good driving position. Get many looks and compliments, plus the $5500 rebate off of the invoice didn't hurt. Definitely do not regret this purchase..

I was a devoted Mitsubishi owner because my Mighty Max served me so well for 15 years & over 200K miles until it was totaled. I bought a 2008 Raider expecting the same durability & have never been so wrong! At 62K miles the Raider has major mechanical issues - bearing failure in the rear differential. To make matters worse the component isn't repairable & requires complete component replacement. Unlike most 2008 models from Mitsubishi, these units do not have a 10 year 100,000 mile power train warranty a clear statement of no confidence by the manufacturer.

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.

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 wouldn't go into reverse and replaced the rear torque converter and other things. Then the front pump seal went. That's 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.

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 it's the baddest truck on my block for sure! It has handsome styling, a smooth ride, and a nice sound system. It's 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.

I have only had my truck for 1 day. I fell in love right away. My Raider will be a farm truck and my personal ride to and from work every day. It has all the power a sensible driver needs. I feel certain it will pull a two-horse trailer with no problem.

The only thing that makes this a truck is a bed and a bumper hitch!! Granted, at the time of purchase, I was looking for an SUV, after years of driving a Full Size F150. So, I settled for 50/50. I loved it, until I bought a boat. After a few months of towing on the weekends.......things started going wrong. I figured I'd save up the problems and turn it in for service and warranty at the one year mark. It's at the dealership now...and I'm waiting...and waiting... The service and warranty are great, they just had alot of stuff to fix. Bottom line, if you want a truck, buy a truck. If you want a nice looking 4 dr, but this truck. Do not treat it like your last pick-up, as it won't last long.

For most part, I like the truck, def. No power at all. Love setup, love the comfort and looks and love the height, I have a ram 4x4 with 3" lift and the raider is only an inch or so shorter on height then my 3" lifted ram, so love that. Comes with some good tires Goodyear wranglers. Rims are nice on it as well.

Although my Raider (rebadged Dakota) may not compete with some of the more refined trucks in its class, the Raider is an excellent choice for the price. The V6 provides decent power, the interior is roomy, and the features are simple to use. For the price and what I get in return, this vehicle is a good option.
