Mitsubishi Strada 2019: A well-built, rugged truck for the modern badass!
When you come across a Mitsubishi Strada 2019 in person, whether on the road, on a parking lot, or on the dealership floor, you’ll quickly note the eye-catching design of the brand’s signature Dynamic Shield and the brilliant re-design on the facelifted model’s sides and rear.
The Strada will look great where ever it is
While it is indeed on the more stylish side of truck design, there are still some exterior features that hints to what this can do on the rougher paths. It’s now got a higher ground clearance and of course, the set of wheels it’s riding on isn’t some namby pamby over designed rims.
Instead, it has a more purpose built, angular look that will look great regardless of where you’re travelling.
