The Mitsubishi Raider IS a Dodge Dakota....just like the Dodge D50 in the 80's was a Mitsubishi produced truck. I believe Chrysler owns a good percentage of Mitsubishi.

Love the SuperTroopers stuff

Mitsu has been pushing their luck too far lately.  I'm sure people remember the Eclipse commercial where they made a RX7 bow down!!!!!!!!

That old RX7 would run all over that Eclipse like roadkill.

Nissan builds their trucks right here in the US.  That's all that is happening with Mitsu.

THE RAIDER IS A DAKOTA WITH DIFFERENT SHEET METAL, AND TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, CHRYSLER OWNS 49% OF MITSUBISHI. I SAW ONE ON THE LOT, NOT IMPRESSED, TO GAUGHTY.
