07' Mitsubishi Raider
Vehicle
2007 Mitsubishi Raider LS 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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.
Favorite Features
The features I found to really catch my eyes is the sleek frame design, as well as the extra space it provides.
Suggested Improvements
I seriously suggest that Mitsubishi should work on the performance part of the truck.

Can't Go Wrong!

2007 Mitsubishi Raider LS 4dr Extended Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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, itÂ’s a truck. If you are thinking about getting a truck take a look at the Raider.
Favorite Features
Room inside the cab and the handling

Great in the V8

2007 Mitsubishi Raider SE 4dr Double Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
Review
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.
Favorite Features
Style, power, visibility, ergonomics, ride quality.
Suggested Improvements
Smooth out the occassional thump on the downshift.

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?
Favorite Features
Good looks, and great ride quality!
Suggested Improvements
Make a six speed V8 available.

Get one Before they're Gone - go w/ V8 SE
Vehicle
2007 Mitsubishi Raider SE 4dr Double Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
Review
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.
Favorite Features
Sharpest exterior styling out there in midsize truck class. Class IV hitch, 4.7 V8. 6500LB towing capacity! Limited slip differential, tranny cooler, oversized radiator, Power interior controls, Nice seats, brushed aluminum trim augments interior retro space age design. Very well designed.
Suggested Improvements
Mitsu hurt by not using Dodge's 290 hp engine. Need to offer more V8s for towing than V6s for stylin. I doubt a leather interior or heated seats will bring other truck brand loyalists over to Mitzu. Mitzu & Dodge didn't promote this truck enough and started the price too high.

Returning to an Old Friend
Vehicle
2007 Mitsubishi Raider LS 4dr Extended Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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.
Favorite Features
Styling by far is better then the new one or my '97 Dakokta. Interior very comfortable and I love the standard outside temp gauge. Sirius radio w/ 6 months for free is great. Not too many on the road, so it's nice to stand out and you can get these for a great price.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage, maybe look at bringing the 5-speed automatic to the V-6 as well. 4-speed auto shifts a little rough at first, but gets better with a little more mileage.

Awesome Truck!
Vehicle
2007 Mitsubishi Raider LS 4dr Double Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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.
Favorite Features
I love that it's 4dr with lots of space, has a bedliner and satellite radio.
Suggested Improvements
More glove compartment space and handles in the back, as well as move the clothes hangers to the side.

I love my Raider

2007 Mitsubishi Raider LS 4dr Extended Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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!
Favorite Features
The handling like a car, power, is equipped with Sirius radio!
Suggested Improvements
None.

So Far, I Love It!
Vehicle
2007 Mitsubishi Raider LS 4dr Extended Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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.
Favorite Features
Just the style alone...rugged yet sophisticated
Suggested Improvements
Nothing so far
