Varies significantly by engine. Gasoline engines likely range from 120-180 HP, and diesel from 100-140 HP (Turbocharged models higher). Torque figures are similarly diverse.

Fuel Delivery:

Electronic Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI) for gasoline; Common Rail Direct Injection (DI-CR) for diesel.

Gasoline Engine Example:

4G64 SOHC 16V (2.4L)

Diesel Engine Example:

4D56 DI-D 16V Turbocharged (2.5L)

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Likely a 5-speed manual transmission (e.g., KM132 or similar) as standard on many variants.

Transmission Type:

Optional 4-speed or 5-speed automatic transmission (e.g., V4A51 or similar) available on certain models.

Available in 2WD (RWD) and 4WD (4M4x Super Select or Easy Select depending on market).

📐 Dimensions

Body Styles:

Club Cab (extended cab) and Double Cab (crew cab) configurations common.

Curb Weight Range:

Approximately 1,600 kg to 1,900 kg, depending on configuration (engine, cab type, 4WD).

🛡️ Safety Features

Crash Test Results:

Specific ratings vary by region and testing body (e.g., ANCAP, Euro NCAP). Generally, mid-2000s pickups had moderate safety performance. Manual would detail restraint system and chassis integrity.

Active Safety:

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) likely standard or optional. Some models may have had EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution).

Passive Safety:

Front airbags for driver and passenger. Seatbelt pretensioners. Reinforced cabin structure.

💡 Technology Features

Audio System:

Base models likely featured a basic AM/FM radio with CD player. Higher trims might have offered MP3 playback and more speakers. Manual may detail audio system repair and troubleshooting.

Driver Assistance Features:

Limited by 2006 standards. Primarily focused on ABS. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control were not commonly available on this generation of pickup trucks at this model year.

Connectivity Options:

Very basic by modern standards. May have featured a 12V power outlet. Bluetooth or USB connectivity was not typical for this era.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically 5,000-10,000 km (3,000-6,000 miles) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type. Manual will specify precise intervals and oil grades.

Gear Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 40,000-80,000 km or as specified in the manual. Differential oil intervals are also covered.

Engine Oil Type:

Depends on engine. Gasoline: API SN/SM or higher, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30. Diesel: API CJ-4 or CK-4, SAE 15W-40 or 5W-40. Manual is critical for exact specifications.

Coolant Type:

Long-life coolant, typically ethylene glycol based with organic acid technology (OAT). Manual will specify color and specification (e.g., Mitsubishi DiaQueen Super Long Life Coolant).
