Standard and optional features will include a 4.7-litre V8 with 230 horsepower and 290 pounds-feet of torque, a fully boxed steel frame, independent front suspension with coil-over shocks and live axle and multi-leaf rear suspension, extended or double cab in two- and four-wheel drive, a 500-watt audio system with 6-CD in-dash changer and Bluetooth technology.

It will continue to be built in the Mitsubishi Motors plant in Normal, Illinois.
