The Mitsubishi Raider lineup is simple, with the LS and XLS in either Extended Cab or Double Cab. All models have the same wheelbase and overall length, so there's no parking liability with the Double Cab, only a difference in the length of the bed: 5 foot 4 inches, versus 6 feet 5 inches.
The LS comes with a V6 engine that makes 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque; it uses a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, with either 2WD or 4WD. Standard features in the Extended Cab include 16-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, radio/CD with four speakers, and 40/40/20 front bench seat; an option package includes a rear bench seat, power windows, power mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control and tilt steering column.
The LS Double Cab includes those options, while the rear seat is a 60/40 fold-down.
The XLS models make the 4.7-liter V8 engine available, with a five-speed automatic transmission. The XLS can be had either with 2WD or electronic AWD. Standard equipment includes larger power sideview mirrors, fog lamps, rear window defroster, 17-inch chromed aluminum wheels, leather, power driver's seat with lumbar support, hands-free phone, heavy-duty battery and cooling system, class IV trailer hitch receiver with seven-pin harness, Sirius satellite radio, and all the power stuff.
There's also a DuroCross model, with features including 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, sliding rear window, power heated sideview mirrors that fold flat, dark tinted glass, fender flares with mudguards, side steps and a box bedliner, heavy duty cooling system and battery, and some trim enhancements.
The DuroCross 4WD (only the XLS is full-time AWD) adds BFG All Terrain tires, gas shocks, a skid plate and limited-slip differential.
