206 Mitsubishi Raider Manual Transmission V6
The 2006 Mitsubishi Raider is a very reliable truck, although manual. My truck did not come with a backseat in it which can be used for storage or perfect for pets to go back there. I have had no mechanical issues of which I was not at fault. This truck is reliable and gas is not that bad.

Good gas mileage, ac works amazing, no issues with power steering.
Great truck. 4x4. Stock front suspension was not intended for off road driving. One upgraded the truck worked amazing for all use.

An interesting detail about the truck is that it has heated seats and I love using them :)
The truck runs really well, but by the time we bought the truck it has its issues like the transmission slipping but other than that the truck runs really well. My husband loves it.

It's ok has a few recalled parts
The airbags were recalled and had to be inspected, the truck easily dents with any hit, other parts have been recalled but I'm not sure which ones. This is my step dad's truck I'm allowed to drive so I don't know much about it. The truck is black has four wheels and drives ok

Older vehicle but still runs good and is in good shape
Problems with the raider is its age and current issues related to age. Wearing down suspension etc. Performance wise it's still pretty good. Engine and transmission are still in great shape. The truck is still very reliable. No issues with starting and runs great. Truck is still very comfortable, interior is in good shape. Truck is a v6, four wheel drive, double cab.

Is The 2006 Mitsubishi Raider A Good Value?

We purchased our truck for around 20+ grand back in 2008. You can probably find it used now for way cheaper. But honestly ur better off buying something new like a Camry for 20k.
