September 27, 200520 yr By Laura Clark Geist Automotive News / September 26, 2005 DETROIT -- Mitsubishi Motors North America said the new 2006 Raider pickup will sell for a base price of $19,825.

The price of the DuroCross two-wheel drive, extended cab model equipped with an automatic transmission and a 4.7-liter V-8 begins at $26,085. The XLS four-door model with the 4.7-liter V-8 and automatic begins at $31,320.

September 27, 200520 yr I don't know Dakota pricing off the top of my head (and I'm too damn tired to look for it) but I sure hope it's cheaper.
September 27, 200520 yr The Raider looks better than the Dakota, though neither of these is really a beauty. The warranties are very different: The Raider gets 5 year/60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper coverage while the Dakota has a 3 year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper coverage and a 7 year/70,000 mile powertrain warranty.
September 27, 200520 yr I think the Dakota looks ok. The interior is better than the Canyon and Colorado. I wouldn't by the Raider because Mistubishi is too unpredictable. Who knows where they will be in five years.
September 28, 200520 yr Mitsu is screwed! I cannot wait until they go away! I hope that this truck fails!!
September 28, 200520 yr Unfortunately for Mitsubishi, this is pretty much the worst possible time to lauch a new truck in the hopes that it will gain sales for you. Same goes for GM.

October 10, 200520 yr I saw their new commercial... it was similar to the Eclipse's. A Frontier emptied its fluids at the sight of the Raider. Its interior is a lot nicer than the Dakota's.
October 11, 200520 yr Take a picture of it while it's still together... [post="26792"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] I guess they did enough styling changes to convince at least one person that it's a Mitsabooshi.
October 12, 200520 yr I'd take a Dakota/Raider over the GM twins anyday. Sweet truck! [post="26890"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Psyche.
