1983 Mitsubishi Pickup D50 review from North America
"Powerful, reliable, good on gas; you won't regret buying this truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Weatherstripping around doors came loose.
Door panels came loose.
Driver side window roll up mechanism broke (a couple of the teeth broke off).
Starter motor failed.
Transmission makes clicking noise in the first three gears.
Dash cracked in a couple of places.
Great power.
Good on gas.
Goes places big trucks won't.
This truck will not leave you stranded.
Been real rough on mine (I've loaded the thing full of boulders, so that the mudflaps were dragging). Still runs great.
General comments?
This truck is surprisingly powerful, and very reliable, great off road truck.
But is old and has suffered over the years.
