Dodge Dakota vs. Mitsubishi Raider Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Dodge Dakota is a legitimate sports car.

Utility
The Dodge Dakota's larger trunk will accommodate more sizeable things than the Mitsubishi Raider. The Raider will definitely prove more practical than the Dodge Dakota for those of you with frequent child-cargo. There's no clear winner between the Mitsubishi and the Dodge Dakota with respect to transporting cargo. Towing is significantly more the Dodge Dakota's forte than it is the Mitsubishi Raider's.

Convenience
You'll most certainly take the Dakota for a fill-up almost as often as the Raider.

Dimensions
The Mitsubishi and the Dodge Dakota compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The Dakota won't tax your gasoline budget substantially more than the Mitsubishi Raider will. Producing an exact gas mileage evaluation is so hard that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Mitsubishi Raider and the Mitsubishi Raider perform roughly comparably in terms of fuel economy. The Dodge Dakota isn't much more expensive than the Mitsubishi Raider in terms of MSRP.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Dodge Dakota isn't quite as generous as the Mitsubishi Raider's.
