    Great video as always. I’ve used one of these for work for 7 years and wouldn’t recommend. You’re spot on about the drivers seat support, and the materials used inside look and feel like they’re from the 1980s. Arm support is for show, and journeys further than local are punishing. The one I drive is a Trojan, which lacks torque at normal driving speeds - hills force down changes despite the short gearing.

    I've got one of these, the 2.5 150hp model that was owned by a mine (i'm in Indonesia - when I bought it I didn't know) - ended up rebuilding most of it but it's easy to work on and a nice truck to drive.

    I have had these for the past 30 years. L200 (high end ones) great vehicle . I use mine off road a bit ,quite good. Suspension is better than Toyota Hilux. My present 2017 model are much improved.

    @johncallaghan4616 2 года назад

    Great video Phil, and great work - just had a look online and you can really levy a premium for the milage alone
    Driven a few and agree on the seating position - alright for quick run rounds, but long-runs remind you why the Hi-Lux always wins !
    Keep 'em comin'!

    Hi Philip, I had a shogun and I am sure that you push the handle down on the side of the seat several times and the front of the seat goes either up or down?

    • @SeriousAboutSalvage

    Hi Phil, I thought you were keeping the Mercedes 350ML as your steam? Never really liked these trucks, but they seem popular. This one seems a bit blingy for a farmer, but you never know! Low miles, do a service and it should shift ok mate. Easy fix this one, when they do have issues though they are pricey to fix. 😱

    Hello . Thank you for this video. I am an owner of a 2012 Mitsubishi L200 with an automatic transmission gear box. And here is the problem . As I am driving at a normal speed of 80 km/hour -55 miles/h , often stepping away from the gas pedal and let the car go due to traffic, then the car breaks suddenly 2 times and moves from the 4th gear to the second gear. After that it is stucked on the second and I cannot accelerate, the D indecator flashes, and the only way out is to pull over and switch off the engine and started again. Do you have an idea what is causing it ? Can anyone help ? Thank you
