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.

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.

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.

Mitsu is screwed! I cannot wait until they go away! I hope that this truck fails!!

i thought Chrysler dropped their 7/70 powertrain warranty for 06?

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.

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.

Take a picture of it while it's still together...

I guess they did enough styling changes to convince at least one person that it's a Mitsabooshi.

I'd take a Dakota/Raider over the GM twins anyday. Sweet truck!
