Does Mitsubishi Sell a Pickup Truck in the United States?

Mitsubishi Motors, a Japanese automotive manufacturer, has been producing and selling vehicles in the United States since 1981. The company offers a wide range of cars, SUVs, crossovers, and minivans, but does Mitsubishi sell a pickup truck in the United States?

The Short Answer: No, Mitsubishi does not currently sell a pickup truck in the United States.

Mitsubishi’s current lineup consists of an array of cars and SUVs that are designed to meet the needs of Americans. The company offers several models that are popular among consumers, including the Outlander Sport crossover and the Outlander PHEV plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. However, while Mitsubishi Motors has produced pickup trucks in the past—namely the Triton/L200—the company does not currently offer any pickup truck models for purchase in the United States.

Mitsubishi does sell pickup trucks in other countries around the world. The Triton/L200 is their most popular model and it is available for purchase in Australia, Europe, South America, and some parts of Asia. The Triton/L200 was first introduced to these markets in 1978 and it has since become one of Mitsubishi’s most successful vehicles worldwide.

Mitsubishi Motors has considered bringing their pickup truck to American shores at various points over the years but has ultimately decided against it due to cost concerns. The company has determined that developing a pickup truck specifically for American consumers would be too expensive when compared to other potential investments they could make into developing other vehicles or technologies.

Conclusion: So while Mitsubishi Motors produces several different types of vehicles for sale in the United States market—including cars, SUVs, crossovers, and minivans—they do not currently sell any pickup trucks here. Although they do produce pickups for other markets around the world like Europe and Asia, they have decided against bringing them to America due to cost concerns.
