The production of the Raider was put on hold a couple of months ago.  I guess there was too much of an inventory sitting on the lots..
Is it possible that this could be the last year for the truck ??
Why would they make a truck that almost mirrors the Dakota ?

Considering that they only sold 492 in February, and they have a 208 day supply on the lots, I can see why the are stopping production. I don't understand it myself; I always thought it looked better than the Dakota.

It might have looked better than the Dakota, but when the Dodge got updated with the twin-spark V8, the Mitsu still soldiered along with the old-style V8 that had less power and got worse mileage than most of the competitor's sixes. It's no wonder it quickly became a lot-sitter.
