Dodge to Build Mitsubishi Truc

71RoadRunner · #1 12-23-2003, 07:13 AM

The trucks will be built at Chrysler's Warren Truck Assembly Plant near Detroit. Mitsubishi's version will be a mid-sized truck sharing the technology from the Dakota. They will each have their own distinct design. The new Mitsubishi truck is planned to be introduced in 2005. What we have here is a cheaper(most likely) reskined Dakota. Reminds me of the Stealth/3000GT. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">

Eewww... that's scary... I thought Mistubishi and Chrysler were done...? I wonder why DC is starting up with them again...? <IMG style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley22.gif'" alt="Stern Smile" src=smileys/smiley22.gif border="0">

again??? Have you looked under the hood of the cars latley??



My Aunt has a 2000 Avenger that has more Jap writing and Mitsu logos than Dodge! Mitsu makes almost all the motors for Dodge/DC cars.

I meant an offical joint-madevehicle, James. Don't be a smart ass, I know more about cars then most girls you know. DC doesn't throw Mistubishi's name around often anymore. That's all I meant. Geez, what a grouch you are today.

are you guys just finding out about this? hehehe

the talks about the shared truck where out before I saw a spy pic of the new Dakota. I don't know about it though, are they going to share the same power plants, and maybe not offer the Hemi in the Mitsu, if it is even offered in the Dakota. Alls I can say it better be in the Dak or I'm going to be very dissappointed with Dodge.
