Sounds about right.

I had a Raider for nine years and 140,000 miles. One of the most reliable vehicles I ever owned. But it didn't look like no Dakota...

They are capable, but for whatever reason they just didn't want to make one for us. Look up the L200 that they sell everywhere else but north america.

The older ones do, the newer Triton version is very unique.

Yeah they were made for Dodge by Mitsubishi for just a few years ('87-'89) and were the 2 door Mitsubishi Montero that preceded the 4 door models. Available in a 2.5L I4 or a 3.0 V6, I think they were all four wheel drive. I bought it new off the lot for $12,400, TT&T included in the spring of '89 and had it until '98 when I sold it for $3200. It was my daily driver for until '95 and then became my weekend fun vehicle. I beat this thing to death and NEVER had to put a dime into it other than routine maintenance. I sold it when I stepped into a steal on a '94 Wrangler in '98. Very few even hard core Dodge guys have even heard of it today...

Picked up a 2012 Titan Pro 4X that I'm in love with. Best of luck to everyone!

Congrats man, you gotta do what you gotta do!

That reminded me of the Tundra's smashing their own back windows out, you ever see that video?
