Mitsubishi plans to rejoin the US truck market with a new mid-size pickup.

The truck will likely be similar to the next-generation Nissan Frontier.

Mitsubishi would be able to build the truck in the US through the Nissan plant in Canton, Mississippi.

Mitsubishi has been building pickup trucks for years. You might not know that, though, since we don't get the Triton here in the United States. And that's a shame, because Mitsubishi have proven that it can build a solid, affordable, mid-size truck.

The gap left by the Raider and the Mighty Max before it appears to be coming to an end, however. According to Car and Driver, Mitsubishi is ready to bring a new truck back to the US market. And we can thank Nissan for the assist on this one.
