The
Mitsubishi Triton is a compact
pickup truck produced by
Mitsubishi. It was originally known as the
Mitsubishi Forte in Japan from 1978 to 1986, when the name was discontinued as the pickup was not sold in its home market for a while. It returned to Japan in 1991 as the
Strada. In the United States two
captive imports of the Forte were sold by the
Chrysler Corporation from 1979, as the
Dodge Ram 50 and
Plymouth Arrow Truck. Mitsubishi itself imported it as the
Mighty Max when it began selling directly in the U.S. from 1982 to 1996, at which point the Plymouth ceased to be available. In North America, after the Mighty Max was no longer offered, the
Mitsubishi Raider was offered, sharing a platform with the
Dodge Dakota. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called
Car Plaza.
