The Mitsubishi L200 is a compact pickup truck produced by Mitsubishi Motors. The L200 was originally the import version of the Mitsubishi Forte, which had been produced since 1978. When the Forte was discontinued in the Japanese market, the L200 name took the Forte's place in 1987.
The L200 was available in three bodystyles; regular cab, extended cab (which Mitsubishi called the "Macro Cab"), and crew cab (which was not sold in North America). The L200 was sold in North America as the Mitsubishi Mighty Max and was also sold there by the Chrysler Corporation as the Dodge Ram 50. The Ram 50 was discontinued in 1993, while the Mighty Max lasted until 1996. The Mighty Max was eventually replaced by the Mitsubishi Raider (a rebadged Dodge Dakota) for 2006.
In 1997, the L200 became based on the Japanese-market Mitsubishi Strada and was redesigned again for the 2005 model year. The vehicle is also built in Thailand as the Mitsubishi Triton.
2006 models
Most recently, an all-new model was introduced for the 2006 model year. This features an all-new range of engines, but with the same bodystyles: crew-cab, single cab and an extended cab for certain markets.
