I Bought a Dodge Raider | Maybe you should too

This is a dodge raider. It's a mitsubishi montero/pajero, but it was imported for dodge for three years from 1987-1989. It's apparently a great little offroad truck. I'm excited to add it to my fleet of vehicles

Monteros are awesome vehicles. I'm glad you're getting it back up and running.
They are getting popular again and like your said, they are cool. Very capable offroad...even still by today's standard.

Nice truck ! These things were sold here in Europe as Mitsubishi Pajero and they were in short version (3 door) and long version (5 door wagon). In fact, as far as I can remember they were sold as Pick up truck as well; named; Mitsubishi L200. They were available in 4 door and 2 door Pick up configuration.
Next to the Toyota Landcruiser, these were sold in great numbers, and so a lot of parts should be available, as Mitsubishi parts that is. But as it is a relabeled Mitsubishi in the first place, very few parts should be Dodge Raider specific to begin with.
Did you know that with the truck you have, in Mitsubishi version, in the 80's these trucks were used in the world greatest Rally: Paris-Dakar. At least in 1987, but in other years as well I think. Look it up in google and surprise yourself.
So yes, these things are very much off road capable, I mean if you do the Paris-Dakar rally race with these trucks, well that says enough I'd say ;-)
You've managed to purchase yourself a Rally Truck ! Have fun with this Rally Truck!

Where did you find yours? There don’t seem to be many on car gurus?

[@beardedreviews]

found mine at an auction. I had never even seen one before

[@Fadetranada]

If you ever part ways, I’m a serious buyer.

[@beardedreviews]

been thinking about getting rid of it. Did the weber swap on it and sometimes it stutters and I cant figure it out lol

[@Fadetranada]

@@beardedreviews is there an email or way to get in contact? My dad literally had this exact color Raider in 87.
