Recommended Posts

Mitsubishi Confirms New Pickup Truck for North America - Autoblog

 

One of Mitsubishi’s first moves to be more visible in the U.S is the introduction of a new pickup. This was confirmed in the company’s presentation published on May 29, 2026. The plan is for a ‘new pickup collaboration project from Nissan.’

 

 

 

 

There's also talk the new Montero may come to the US.  I could see it happening if it and the pickup are based on each other...

Good news for their 3 dealers left in the country 


We have one.  They were essentially a used car lot with 3 or 4  new cars.  New ownership made it a little better but not much.  Those SUVs are downright fugly.

there used to be one where I used to live back in the late 90s. It closed around 2002, became a Subaru dealer for about 5 minutes, closed again and sat empty for about 15 years. It got demolished and is now a Del Taco.

We have a local Mitsu dealer....in the former Ford dealership. They have a lot of Mitsubishi's on the lot as well as used, part of a regional dealer network. Ford dealership was there for decades, then the owner died, Ford took over the franchise..it changed hands a few times and added Mercury and Lincoln when the local L/M dealer closed. Then it was bought by a local multi brand dealer chain, they poured a ton of $$ into a remodel then Ford shuttered Mercury and bought back the Lincoln franchise which was the main reason the local chain bought it (had a huge Ford only store in the next town over)....once Lincoln was gone at that location the local chain decided they did not need another Ford store competing with themselves and rechristened it a "used car supercenter" then sold it to the current owner who then turned it into the current Mitsubishi dealer....they do Ok as they have been there for years. I am sure the new truck will sell just fine there.
