Overview
Mitsubishi sold the Raider from fall 2005 to 2009 as a version of the third-generation Dodge Dakota, built at Chrysler's Warren Truck plant on the ND platform with finishing work in Normal, Illinois. It replaced the Mighty Max in spirit after a gap of several years, and production ended on June 11, 2009.
Engines were Chrysler's 3.7 L PowerTech V6 and 4.7 L V8 with a 6-speed manual or 4- and 5-speed automatics. The DuroCross was a lowered street model with a body kit and a low payload of about 1,180 lb. Sales never topped 7,500 a year.
