With 4 decades of pick-up truck expertise the New Strada is refined to deliver an unmatched performance and off-road capability. The New Strada is powered by 2.4L 4 In-line 16 Valve DOHC Clean Diesel with Variable Geometry Turbo and MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control System) 4N15 which gives a maximum output of 181 Ps/ 3,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 430 N-m/ 2,500 rpm.

Improvements developed to deliver an extremely durable and reliable truck are evident with the comfortable ride and handling. Ride is improved with the use of larger rear dampers which contain more damping oil. Braking performance were also improved with
the use of larger front discs and caliper pistons (GT 4×4, GLS 4×4 and GLS 4×2).

current model high durability, high reliability ladder-type frame and high-impact safety cabin structure. Active Stability Traction Control (ASTC), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) are now standard on all variants. The top of the line variant (GT 4×4)
