ok were done talking to you until you revoke that statement, we dont talk about jap cars here, unless we are going to completely bash them to pieces when you apologize for putting a tundra above a Dak then well talk again

I don't like the tundra just because it looks like a big freakin pig BUT I am kind of partial to the Tacoma X-runner if they ever offer a TRD supercharger for it.

...and replace the front end sheetmetal. sorry, but the front end is clearly not Dodge.

i know that the Raider has many really great benefits over the Dakota, but, besides the fact that there's no Mitsubishi dealer in this area, i couldn't get myself past the front end when i was looking.

See and I really like the styling that they put on the Raider. I like the Dak styling too but I like the Raider's looks a little more. Plus, the perks I get from my dealership are great. Another reason I really like it is because I've only seen about 4 of them driving around since they came out, yet I still have some aftermarket support because it's the same as a Dak on the inside. I think it's a matter of "to each his own" with these trucks though.

I'm just glad I don't get too much crap from you guys because I am on a Dodge forum with my Mitsu!

you're right, it is a personal preference....and i didn't mean to offend (if i did) saying that i didn't like the front end...to be honest, i really had to warm to the Dakota's front end, too...though i love it now.

i've only ever seen one Raider out there...right near the college that i work at, i used to see one a lot of nights on my way home...though it has been awhile since i've seen him.

here's a random question for you....is Mitsu making any changes to the Raider for '08, like Dodge did to the Dakota?

I'm just givin you crap the japs make some nice cars and trucks, but I'm a Dodge guy, and I always have been, I really love the dodge styling and their signature crosshair grille.

Well sorry, I'm not a bias person. I'm what you would calla realist. The tundra gets the same or better fuel economy, capable of a 14 second pass stock, has higher quality interior, and probably visits the dealer a lot less than our Dakotas for warranty crap.
