The 2008 Mitsubishi Raider, marketed as a mid-size pickup truck, was available in two trims: LS and Duro Cross. The LS model featured a 3.7-liter V6 engine capable of producing 210 horsepower, while the more advanced Duro Cross boasted a 4.7-liter V8 engine with 230 horsepower. Drive options included Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and a 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) for challenging terrains. The Raider came with a four-speed automatic transmission or an optional six-speed manual gearbox. The truck bore a rugged aesthetic appeal with an aggressive stance, complemented by comfortable interiors. Noteworthy tech features included an optional Bluetooth-compatible system and a premium 500-watt audio system - a novelty at the time. A selection of safety features such as anti-lock brakes and dual front airbags were standard across both trims.
