Safety features on the 2006 Mitsubishi Raider include dual-stage frontal airbags with occupant sensing and an optional Security Package on Double Cab models includes curtain airbags for both rows, ABS, a security system, and an engine immobilizer. Offering curtain airbags as an option matches the import competition, however, Nissan and Toyota offer seat-mounted front side-impact airbags, whereas Mitsubishi does not.

Upscale technology features include the hands-free Bluetooth cell-phone communications system and Sirius satellite radio. Mitsubishi will pay the satellite radio subscription for the first six months, allowing customers to sample the service before committing for a longer term.
