The Mitsubishi Triton is a compact pickup truck produced by Mitsubishi Motors. In Japan it was originally known as the Mitsubishi Forte[1] and from 1991 as the Strada. In the United States, Chrysler Corporation sold captive imports as the Dodge Ram 50 and Plymouth Arrow truck, and Mitsubishi marketed it as the Mitsubishi Mighty Max until 2002.
For most export markets the name L200 is used[2][3][4] though it also been known as the Rodeo,[5] Colt,[6] Storm, Magnum, L200 Strakar (badge used in Portugal since 1999, Strakar is a portmanteau of Strada and Dakar),[7] and others. In 2015, Fiat Professional launched a rebadged version as the Fiat Fullback. In 2016, Ram Trucks launched a rebadged version as the Ram 1200 for the Middle East market.
Cumulative sales of the first three generations exceeded 2.8 million units around the world.[8] As of February 2021, the pickup truck is sold in every available Mitsubishi market except the United States, Canada, Japan, India and China. In Japan, it was previously sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza.
In the US it was known as the Mitsubishi Mighty Max or the Dodge Ram 50. Petrol engines include a carburetted 92 hp (69 kW) 2.0-litre inline-four or a 2.6-litre inline-four with 109 hp (81 kW). Four-wheel drive (non-LSD) was also available, as were a four-speed automatic transmission, two bed lengths, and both regular and Macrocab (extended cab) options. There was also a higher-rated One-Ton model available on regular cab models with the longer bed.
In later years the standard engine was switched to a 2.4-litre inline-four producing 116 hp (87 kW). This engine was made standard fitment on all two-wheel drive Mighty Maxes for the 1991 model year, while four-wheel drives all received the recently introduced 3.0-litre V6 with 143 hp (107 kW).[24]
Dodge Ram 50
Dodge Ram 50 (US)
The Ram 50 was redesigned for 1987, which was the same year Chrysler introduced the Ram 50's successor, the Dodge Dakota. Despite this, sales of the Ram 50 continued for another seven years until 1994, possibly because the Ram 50 was a compact and the Dakota was a mid-size. The difference in size and cost left a niche for the Ram 50, and its cancellation may have been due more to a desire to show independence from Mitsubishi than because of any product overlap. The Mighty Max was taken off the US market after the 1996 model year, and its successor was not marketed in North America due to poor sales.
The Ram 50 underwent facelifts and modifications corresponding to those of the Mighty Max, with a choice of 6 ft (1.8 m) or 7.5 ft (2.3 m) bed lengths[25] and regular or extended Sports Cabs.

[@petervitti9]

I remember this kit from the early 80s. So many around and I didn't buy it! Now I cannot wait when it becomes available! Great build.

[@scootosan]

Sweet build. The Red gives it a really nice look. As a modeler it doesn't matter to me what you do to any of your builds... it's yours. And no one can take away your satisfaction.

[@stephenhale1996]

That is definitely a nice truck. Looking forward to upcoming ones

[@Wild-Dad]

I had a ‘75 Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi). It was front drive so the engine was aligned 90 degrees to your engine but it was as devoid of any fancy hoses and such - it was as simple as you be for a 70’s vehicle. You could literally sit on the fender and work inside the engine bay. You wouldn’t knock anything out of place.

[@chrisC052]

Love the kit, the build and the music. Once again you nailed the colors. I was wondering why you don't include a "back story" with the builds anymore? I really enjoyed it. It really adds to the video and build. Again Chris 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@jarialshurfield5696]

I picked up 2 of these bad boys. That's pretty smart, Chris...the rubber hose on your vice grips

[@tomroland2123]

I like watching your videos I just got back into building models and learning special techniques on the models great job

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like them!

[@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL]

My first vehicle was a 79 plymouth arrow. The plymouth version of the d50.

[@waynehawkins9090]

Nice build as usual! Probably get one when they come out.

[@davidseibold2680]

When does it come to stores?

[@waynehawkins9090]

No clue. With Round2 maybe 2 months.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

I knew some fellars that had one of them back in the day, not bad for a little truck, although they could’ve put a better engine in them instead of that Mitsubishi 4 cylinder, they put those damn engines in a lot of vehicles, Chrysler did, geez, if you put 70k-75k miles on them, that engine was wore slap out, I’d like to seen someone drop a smallblock MOPAR down in one, I’m sure somebody did one time or another. Or at least a MOPAR V6 of some kind. Haha, that Mitsubishi 4 cylinder was like the old GM Quad4, JUNK!!!! Regardless, nice job Chris, as always, very cool little truck! I like the truck, I just don’t care much about the Mitsubishi 4 banger, now with a turbo it might be alright, Idk 🤷‍♂️? I guess you could get a V6 in one but all the ones I’ve seen had that 4 banger. Oh well, anywho, very cool buddy!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Cool kit!!!!

[@andrewluchsinger]

I will have to put a tow ball on it and throw one of my home made trailers on it. That stock bumper will do nicely for that add on.

[@celsocrosse5026]

That’s a nice Model kit.

[@normanausen4049]

Another great build Chris, loved the music playing when you were putting the front end together 😎

[@hpiguy]

Thanks 👍

[@davidhinkson8856]

I was looking forward to this one! Haven't seen one of these early Mitsubishi L200s - that's what I know them as - in real life for years! This also goes nicely with the Chevy LUV and Ford Courier you'd have built a while back. Loving those crates of Coke as well.

[@insomniahobbies]

Might have to get one now. My local Walmart finally started carrying kits and I saw it on the shelf......now I'm going back.

[@davidseibold2680]

Big mini pickup fan here! I would love to see a 89 Ford Ranger model and a 99 Tacoma model one day! Great video love the mini pickups!

[@kylesandland5038]

I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and the models I’ve made witch are only 3 and they are armor so can I see you build a tamyia 1/35 M41A1 walker bulldog

[@MOUNTAINDEWMODELING]

Definitely going to get me one of those kits but Imma take these 67 AMT Chevelle and use the parts from that to make it a little Drag Truck

[@rickr442]

Nice work, BUT!!! What color are the bottle caps on the Coke bottles? Are these all empties?

[@chrislongbeard]

Still no 4x4. I'll pass until they bring it back

[@QMore-fp7wn]

Great build. I find it relaxing to watch you build and I get some great tips along the way. Thanks so much.

[@justcallmeboats]

Chris, was that Krylon Red Pepper that you used? What brand of grey primer was used for that as well? Nice build by the way. I think that truck would look just as cool without all of the Coke logos on it. Great Job!

[@hpiguy]

Yes, it was Krylon, each paint session has a picture of all the sprays used to help at the beginning or end of the spray session. Thanks!

[@kevinwethy1411]

@@hpiguy Somehow I missed that. I knew that you showed the sprays used and, well there must have been some dust in my eyes or something at that point in the video.

[@timczifrik7715]

awesome kit.!!!

[@Harjaapsingh11]

Had the same problem with the tires but I somehow fit em on

[@tcandle695]

very Nice kit. The D50 is a Mitsubishi rebranded as a Dodge for the American market. One more kit to buy 🙂

[@Wild-Dad]

You have probably answered this question several times - Just out of curiosity - how long have you found that modpodge holds the windshields and such in place? Have you found the inserts falling out after Ie: a decade or have you never had a problem with it releasing the windshields and such?

[@hpiguy]

I haven't really checked after a decade but to date nothing has fallen out. Artists use Mod Podge on paintings and decorations for decades and I haven't heard of stuff falling off their work.

[@Wild-Dad]

@@hpiguy- thanks much!

[@paredding]

Perfect choice of finish to build Chris. It's not even listed on Scalemates yet!

[@csj9619]

I absoloutely love truck/minitruck model kits. I just picked this one up myself at my local Ollie's. My dad had one of these D50s and while slow, I really liked driving it. I think I'll build mine as a period-correct lowered sporttruck complete with wild paintjob with crazy graphics. Fender flares, subwoofers, the works.

[@bigbow62]

Another sweet video... Thank you 🙂 Love those 80's mini pick-um-up-trucks... I had a cool white 88' Toyota Tacoma -4cyl. w/ EFI ✌😎 ( added a beautiful fiberglass cap )

[@richiesspeedshop82]

I miss my 87 Dodge Ram 50.It was my first vehicle back when I was 17. You couldn't kill the motor.It confused alot of my friends because it had Mitsubishi markings everywhere hahah.

[@randytaylor1258]

So did the Dodge Omni.

[@barnydrunk]

Its not the kind of kit we get in the uk but it sure looks real nice, a well deserved 10 out of 10 for it 🙂

[@vichetdragoncars3186]

Cool

[@sandman_7326]

Man I can only imagine all the leftover waterslide decals from all the model kit builds .

The music is so much more dramatic in 1.5 speed while you glue.

I built one of these eons ago and remember I painted it orange and put a Chevy 350 in it. It might have been the first release. The Mitsubishi version was called the Mighty Max.
