Mitsubishi Mighty Max / Has Nothing, and Everything It Has Doesn't Work

Warren got this 1995 Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickup truck in trade for labor, and he loves it. It is a base model pickup from 1995 that feels like a truck from the mid 1980's. This truck is equipped with almost no options and every thing that it does have doesn't work. it does have a period correct tape deck, but it doesn't have speakers..."so I have that going for me". The Dodge Ram 50 was essentially the same truck with different trim and badges.

I have an 88 Mighty Max. The timing belt broke a few months back. I watched some YouTube How To videos. Went to O'Reilly's and they had it in stock on the shelf for 28 bucks. Had everything off and put back together in about an hour. I'm not a mechanic but it was so easy to work on. Love this Lil beast. Coming up on 260, 000 miles and going strong.

My dads 92 still works and still one of the toughest truck out there

I've got a 89 with 258k miles on it... Completely gutted, been stolen multiple times, floors rusted out, AC is the breeze that comes in through the rust outs on the roof, still runs like a champ though (:

I own a 1991 mighty max! I have owned it since it was new....almost 25 years in May. I love it and plan to repaint it. I have 150, 000 miles on it and plan to drive it another 100, 000 miles.

As a Mighty Max owner, your description could not have been more accurate.

Had an repainted bright blue 89 ranger with gaudy rims Bought it off craigslist for 1200 bucks, put almost nothing in to it 5 speed 2.3 l engine, it basically had a body an engine, a transmission, headlights and some wiring to make it all work together. Best damn vehicle I ever bought. Steering was completely blown out and steering gear just bled fluid as soon as i poured fluid in the ps pump, so it was manual everything. Let my mom use it, she tore it up Left it on the side of the road and let some stranger take it without telling me till he had pretty much assumed ownership of it. Thanks mom ur the best

My father had a '89 Mighty Max that I used to borrow to commute to school. Like yours, there was no option on it at all. I did put in a tape deck later on (with door speakers!). Man, I remember the manual steering....parallel parking was an upper body workout. Compared to modern pickups, it was primitive. But you know what? I'd love to have one again. It was simple, easy and inexpensive to maintain, and was reliable. Great video!

I love my 1994 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Sport Truck! 27+ years old, 285, 000 miles, it's green, a 5 speed and still runs so smooth. Still looks good, too. I bought it brand new for $10, 300 sticker price. Best car I've ever owned.

Sweet dude I have a completely stock 1994 mightymax macrocab limited not a dent, ding or scratch and the paint is showroom new and have done nothing to it than proper washing and waxing it less than 60k on it and I love it but I'm gonna buy some new headlights, bumpers, trim ect.my dad new I loved it so when I was 11 he randomly gave it to me and let me drive around the block with my neighbor. I still love it and I always put premium oil and filters every 3k miles and everything else baby wants

I’ve got a 1991 mighty max. My neighbor behind me caught me watching her doing yoga in her back yard and I covered myself by offering to chop down this huge pile of weeds in her back yard. She then told me there’s a truck in those weeds. I paid her $50 bucks and changed out the gas and it started right up and passed emissions. The only thing it needed was a slave cylinder. Everything else has been cosmetic. I put led head lights and taillights welded up some aluminum tube bumpers on the front it’s more like a cow pusher bumper . New tires and brakes. Rebuilt calipers and drum brakes on the rear. Rhino lined the bed added tie downs then a camper shell . New kenwood stereo and last but not least a do it yourself camouflage paint job that turned out pretty good but did take all day. It’s been a great little Pooh butt truck. I am having an issue with my clutch. My peddle goes to the floor and sometimes engages and sometimes it doesn’t. I just float the gears when it doesn’t so it doesn’t bother me but I would like to fix the issue when I got time. No a/c but the heater blows hot and everything it came with works. I wouldn’t sell it for 5k. Great truck.. maybe I’ll sell it in aNorway haha

I bought a brand new 1992 Mighty Max for $7, 500 after I finished school. It didn't come with A/C, speakers/radio/antenna, no power steering/windows, but I loved it anyway. I'm jealous after watching you guys drive this one around, would love to take one for a spin after all these years.

I got my '91 with the odometer broken at 262, 000 miles on it. It came from a South Carolina race track. They used it for hauling the dirt bikes around the track. I put a new timing belt on it. It seriously runs like a dream.

Im about to buy my 3rd mighty max. i kept buying others because id miss driving em after selling. ( so fun to drive) the simplicity is awesome on em. The 2.4l FI models are much more powerful than the 2.0 carbureted. Mine did have power steering. I dropped mine and put on some black sporty 20” rims. Same color as this truck in vid. It looked awesome with new paint. Beautiful boxy 80/90’s.

New Weber car with electric pump high and fuel regulator, converted to power steering with custom made lines, rebuild power steering gear box, starter, alternator, inner outer tie rods, upper lower ball joints, wheel studs, rubber flooring, I upholstered the bench seat, new disk brakes to.

I just saw one while waiting outside the marijuana store. I saw the mighty max lettering and surprised to see it from the 90's was guessing early 80's
