The Dodge, err, Mitsubishi Raider

Well, the cat's out of the bag a good two months before the 2006 Raider was to officially appear at the Detroit Auto Show.  Family associations tie the truck to the 2005 Dodge Dakota, even though DCX quit funding the bleeding Mitsu a few months ago.  The truck strays from the Sport Truck Concept that was shown at this year's auto show to allow a quick port from the Dakota donor, losing some of the Mitsubishi character in the process.  PickupTruck.com has the full pic and the scoop.
