1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup review from North America
"Not a pickup, more like a put down!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to buy a rebuilt (rather expensive) carburetor shortly after purchasing this vehicle.
At around 90,000 miles, the transmission quit.
I got 19.7 miles to the gallon. This truck had no traction to speak of, and my 1988 Mercury Tracer had more power!
General comments?
The truck did have some rust on the bed sides, but overall, it was a rather nice looking truck.
Concerning power, I'd say this pickup is quite puny.
Trying to maintain this monster really picked my pocket dry.
