The XLS adds full-time all-wheel drive as standard. All trim lines and engines are available in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Raider is the only truck to offer a V8 engine in the mid-size import brand truck class, and is offered as an available option in the DuroCross and standard on the XLS in both cab styles. The available 4.7-liter, SOHC 16-valve V8 engine delivers 230 hp at 4600 rpm and 290 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm. It is available in the LS and DuroCross trim levels, in both cab styles. The Raider's V6 produces 210 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. The base 3.7-liter, SOHC 12-valve V6 engine is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.

Both are engineered to provide a smooth, responsive power in everyday driving, and also deliver maximum performance and capability off road, hauling or towing a heavy load. The 2006 Mitsubishi Raider offers truck buyers the choice of two capable drive trains.
