Mitsubishi Endeavor

All Endeavor models are powered by a 225-horsepower, 3.8L V6 engine, a 4-speed automatic transmission with Sportronic manual mode. The Endeavor rides and handles more like a car than a truck, with a multi-link independent rear suspension and all-season tires. The interior comfortable and reasonably quiet; there's seating for five, including plenty of legroom for back-seat passengers.

The 60/40-split rear seatbacks fold forward to expand the already ample 40.7 cubic feet to 76.4 cubic feet. The Endeavor has a reasonably low cargo floor-capable of holding a 4-foot-wide sheet of plywood-and also includes tubular roof rails.

The all-wheel drive system that's available in the Endeavor is intended for slick roads, snow and light-duty off-roading, such as driving up the two-track to a backwoods campsite. A viscous coupling center differential divides power 50/50 between the front and rear wheels, and if either the front or rear wheels slip it transfers more power to the opposite axle.

Traction is assisted by the electronic traction control system. Electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes are also featured on all Endeavors, along with front seat-mounted side airbags and rollover-sensing side-curtain bags.
