Housed under the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander’s hood is an aluminum 3.0-liter, single overhead cam, 24-valve V6 generating 220 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 204 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. California gets a clean-burning partial zero emissions (PZEV) version that offers seven fewer horses. Standard on every Outlander is a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode, while buyers of the premium trims are treated to paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Of interesting note, the paddles are stationary, meaning they don’t move with the wheel, a feature favored by many driving enthusiasts. A front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension system, complete with stabilizer bars, is charged with supporting between 3,527 and 3,791 pounds of curb weight, and an aluminum roof panel is used to lower the truck’s center of gravity. The 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander’s towing capacity maxes out at 3,500 pounds, with a standard four-wheel antilock disc brake system with electronic brake force distribution keeping speeds under control, and an optional four-wheel-drive system working to maintain grip.
