The Mitsubishi Raider rolled off the line and onto dealer lots for the 2006 model year. It is constructed off of Chrysler's N platform and is basically a Dodge Dakota with different badging and several distinctive styling cues. Upon the truck's debut, it was available in both two and four-wheel drive and outfitted with a 3.7L Power Tech V6 engine which produced 210 horsepower and 210 pounds-per-foot of torque. However, a bolder 4.7L V8 was also offered, churning out 230 horsepower along with 290 pounds-per-foot of torque. Both engines were mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission with a four-speed automatic offered as an option. As for the hauler's dimensions, the Mitsubishi Raider measured in with a wheelbase of 131.3 inches, a width of 71.7 inches, a height of 68.6 inches, and an overall length of 218.5 inches. Two body-styles were presented: extended cab and Double Cab (Crew Cab). The extended cab showcased a 6'6" bed with rear-opening access doors while the Double Cab showed off four full-size doors and a 5'4" bed.
Trim levels at the model's introduction were the LS, Durocross, and XLS, with each offering an assortment of options. For 2007, four Double Cab configurations were available and one extended-cab version. The XLS trim was no longer offered however, as the new SE trim level took its place later that year. Mitsubishi also decided to do away with the V8 option on all trims except for the SE. A year later, both the Durocross and SE trim levels were discontinued from the lineup, as was the 4.7L V8. The only trim level remaining for 2008 was the LS, while drivers could obtain different options by choosing among several packages. The extended cab offered the Power and Convenience Package while the Double Cab could be had with the Exterior Appearance Package, showing off a sliding rear window and interior accents. An Extra Value Package displayed a bed liner, mud guards, and side rails, although some options were obtainable separately.
2009 did not see the Mitsubishi Raider become the beneficiary of many updates, although the base truck was given a tilted steering wheel for the first time. Extended cab variants of the Raider had 16' wheels, a front-bench seat, a four-speaker stereo system with CD, and air conditioning. Double Cab models offered full power accessories (doors, windows, and locks), cruise control, and remote keyless entry. As for safety features, rear-antilock brakes and front-airbags were the main line of defense, although four-wheel ABS brakes weren't available. The truck was dropped from the Mitsubishi roster following the 2009 model year. During its brief stint on the roadways, the Mitsubishi Raider received attention from around the industry, having been named “One to Watch" by Consumer Guide (2006) as well as an Auto Pacific Vehicle Satisfaction award recipient (2006).

Built on the Dodge Dakota platform, the mid-size pick-up has never been a huge success. Dan Irvin, Mitsubishi spokesman, explained that the reason for that is simple. According to Irvin, the Raider is a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Indeed, the pick-up faced a slow start in 2005 because it was introduced right when Hurricane Katrina hit; then the gas prices spiked and other manufacturers used incentives to sell their trucks, while Mitsubishi had no incentives as the Raider was new at that moment. The Raider didn't become a top-seller even after. Last year, at the peak of the auto crisis, the company sold only 2,935 units, which is a 64.5% decrease versus 2007. Considering all that, the pick-up appeared to be more of a liability than an asset. Besides, in an attempt to remain a viable competitor in the US market, Mitsubishi decided to cut the lineup in preparation for the introduction of smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Apparently, the decision to discontinue the Mitsubishi Raider was a no-brainer.
