What to Look for When Shopping for a Used Truck


Mitsubishi 3000GT

A quick glance at this name and you probably assume it was a sports car. You’d be right! The 3000GT ran from ‘92-‘99. Models still on the road in a few years could qualify for collector plates!

Mitsubishi Eclipse

Gone, but not forgotten. What now lives on as the Eclipse Cross was once a popular sports car. This model saw 21 model years between ’92 and ’12. The Eclipse was built with both coupe and convertible versions.

Mitsubishi Expo

The Mitsubishi Expo was a wagon-style vehicle that only lasted 4 model years before being retired.

Mitsubishi Lancer

One of the most recent discontinuations, the Lancer saw 16 model years, from ’02 to ’27. It was a sedan with sporty tendencies, and it might be one of the easiest used Mitsubishi models to find.

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback

The Lancer Sportback was a hatchback version of the Lancer, that, like the Lancer Evolution, was sold in many of the same years.

Mitsubishi Montero

The Montero was one of the largest vehicles ever produced by Mitsubishi. It was a full-size SUV that ran from ’92 to ’06 in North America.

Mitsubishi Pickup

Like the Mitsubishi Mighty Max, the plain-named Mitsubishi Pickup didn’t survive long. In the North American market, the truck just couldn’t compete.

Mitsubishi Raider

Mitsubishi was not done trying to take some of the North American pickup truck market in the mid-00s. The Raider had momentary success from ’06 to ’09, but didn’t last any longer than that.

Mitsubishi Diamante

This model ran for an impressive 14 years from ’92-’05. It was sold as both a sedan and a wagon, with a sense of style that made it compete with models like the Buick Regal or the Audi A4.

Mitsubishi Endeavor

You might remember the Endeavor as an early 2000’s SUV that lasted until 2011. It was bigger than the Outlander, but wouldn’t survive nearly as long.

Mitsubishi Galant

This model was once one of the most well-known Mitsubishi vehicles ever built. The sedan lasted from ’92 to ’12.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

The Lancer Evolution was a sedan that amplified the sporty tendencies of the Lancer. It was still a sedan, and was there alongside the regular Lancer for almost as many years.

Mitsubishi Mighty Max

Few will remember this Mitsubishi pickup truck. It was small, had either a regular cab or an extended cab, and came and went in just 4 model years.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport

After 8 model years, the Montero Sport was discontinued in ’04. It was a capable mid-size SUV that couldn’t beat the then-new Outlander when it arrived on dealership lots.

Mitsubishi Precis

You probably haven’t seen the Precis outside of stories of automotive curiosities. The hatchback only saw two model years before being retired.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV

With a sloped front more common in Europe than North America, the i-MiEV was an electric hatchback that saw 5 model years from ’12 to ’17.
