You are a man after my own heart. You summarised the Paj perfectly. Brilliant on tar, more than capable off road. Like you, I believe the Toyota's are probably better offroad, but I too just want to get somewhere and not drive ruts and rocks. As a standard vehicle, awesome. I have no lift, no bull bar but have a great time offroad and have set up for overlanding. Greetings from Oz across the Indian Ocean, have a castle for me
Hi, cool, yes I love my Pajero, would love to take it to Oz, you have some nice places to drive there. One day! I'll bring you a castle. Thanks for the comment, and for watching. Regards Hendri.
awesome to see how passionate you are. I love my Pajero. 280K on stock suspension, it has sagged now. It has taken me to some amazing places. Currently planning to do lift and under protection. They love to go on two wheels haha.
I wish I hed money to put new suspension on my Pajero, but it still works. There is lots of toys and adons for the Pajero, but the prices, not for poor people. Thanks for comment and for watching.
I just came across this in 2022! You are right my friend! If you haven't driven a pajero, do it now I drive a 2007 Mitsubishi Montero(Pajero) 3.2 Di-D and its a beaut. Warm greetings from Bangalore, India Sid
I have had my Pajero IV for 11 years and I love it. Got a great garage to look after it and handle services and so on. Parts are expensive, but massive so they last. After 205' kms. there's a leakage in my aircon system, but I will change all the pipes. No point in welding holes oone by one. I haul a caravan for 3-4 months a year and drive through snow for another 4 months. The car goes everywhere - almost!
Mate I loved your video! You explained the Pajero very well! I agree of course. I bought a brand new one in 2019. It is everything you say it is. Magic car! I want to hear more of your stories!
I don;t think we will see a new "full blood" Pajero / Shogun ever again. It will become softer in future. The Pajero frame is to exspensive to make and that leaves very little money for bells and whistles. So the car is "under equipped" compared to the competition. Thanks for watching, Regards Hendri.
I totally understand you and I will tell you this. I used to drive S-Class W222 as my regular car but I wanted second car for offroad/overland weekends. I bought Pajero IV.....and since that time I mostly drive Pajero. Fall in love with the car from the day one.
I bought mitsubishi pajero 97 after driving brand new landsruiser 200 series 2020 gxl for more than a year. Land cruiser was so uncomfortable for me, I have back pain from it and I could not enjoy the drive. I love my pajero, its just bit old but I am loving it very much.
Pajeros are amazing machines. It's wild they are still underrated in some parts of the world. In north America they are underrated...but that's ok, they are still exceptionally capable. Great video!
Great video bro!...useful info, great passion!! Been driving a 1989 Pajero 1 2.5TD 12 years now, super comfortable. "Drive wherever I'd like to drive.."....that's what I want in a car too. What's that animal sound grunting in the background at the end???
Hi Henri, ek het op jou channel af gekom. Hou van hom. Ons het oor die 3 jaar terug Nieu-Seeland toe getrek en so 2 weke terug ons eerste Pajero gekoop LWB 2008 Diesel. Hy ry lekker. Ons kyk ook na die Frontrunner roof rack
I have a 96 2800 Mitsu Shogun/Pajero, totally agree about this ride. My comment has nothing to do with the Truck, though. I have to ask, "WHAT IS THE GRUNTING"?
Hi you are (I think) the second person that noticed the "Grunting", Sometimes I just mess around with sound, sound is more powerful than video. I think it was a lion the I edited in there. You must have used a set of headphones to hear that. We do work on the sound for guy's like you. Thanks for your comment, and for watching. Stay safe.
@@CampX4 Thanks for the reply. I wasn't wearing earphones, though. I'm a hunter and have grown accustom to listening for background noises. Wasn't sure if it was a lion or my wife sleeping, LOL. Stay safe and health, God Bless.
Thanks for your honest and biased review. You actually helped me decide on buying one her in Oz as I was deciding between it, the Land Cruiser or Nissan Patrol.
That's the gospel right there! Just bought my first Pajero, gen 4 SWB 3.2 in Metallic Blue. There really is no point in a modern car, they are worse in almost every way if you want to go on adventures.
Hi there - lekker video, have you experienced the dashboard rattles, I have read about which are said to be quite common on these Pajeros over rough gravel roads?
After you asking the question, I spent some time listening to the dash, yes the is a couple of squeaks and relates. But the Pajero has just sort of 400 000 km on the clock. Thanks for watching.
The Nissan Patrol is a briliant 4X4 , Very smart interior, but not a nice car to drive (well for me), it feel like a ship, no steering feedback. Regards Hendri.
There is nothing wrong with the Renault Clio, and you have to start somewhere. I still want to test the Duster, if seen them in Namibia in sand, not bad. Thanks for watching.
Hi, at about 110km/h on the open road with cruise control about 850km / 88 L. I have done of 900km but that was mostly down hill. I get from 14 l/100km to about 10.5 l / 100km, rarely below 10.5 l /100km. Not to bad for a heavy vehicle with roof-rack on and A/C always running. I'm very happy with my Pajero. Thanks for watching, and for you question. Regards Hendri
Cool, luckily in Dubai, fuel is cheap there, those 3.8 liters are thirsty. Toyota is nice but bit overpriced, Thanks for you comment an for watching. Stay Safe.
@@CampX4 Yep, I really don't uderstand why people overprice the price of Toyota so much. Ok it's realiable as hell but omg the aftermarket price... The direct competitor to the V6 Pajero in Dubai is the Prado. To have a decent version (4.0L) and a not so old model you will need sometime to pay more than 2 time the price of a decent 3.8 Pajero so more than $20 000. Sometime people really don't act reasonably. It's almost as the same thing with Apple and android phone 😅
Thanks for the review, if one can call it that. A lot of talk about the Mitsubishi without actually saying that much about it. Tell us why in more detail why it’s such a good SUV. To compare this vehicle with the 78/79 Landcruiser is a bit misleading. A better comparison would have been a Prado or Patrol , and comparing their respective pros and cons. I think a Defender or some other work horse is a more appropriate comparison with that model Landcruiser.
@@CampX4 I drive a Pajero V80 too and use it for everyday and for Holliday and offroad, this car drive on road like a limousine, you can drive fast without feeling that you drive an offroad car. I have cross the Tunesien desert and it was climbing a dunes easily there where the Nissan Patrol diesel 4.2L couldn't comes up, it has much power. I have done a lot of Km on the Beach and this care did this without problem. If you earn one and you understand haw to use it you will see that the Pajero is a very good offroader and on road car. I have 112 tkm and I have no repairs nothing. The price and the capability of this car make that the Pajero is the best 4x4 vehicle. I hope that I could answer your question. Mate
@@CampX4 2002 3,2 DiD well to be honest none of the 4x4 works I have replaced solenoids,front diff sensor switch,had it with a mechanic for a week or two still not able to engage 4x4 seems I'm not getting power to the solenoids but can't find where it is supposed to come from
@@Trevscuriosites Trevor there is a flexible earth that connects body to the gearbox, even though if it looks okay can cause problems you desribe - had this on mine. The resistance of the flexible earth connection is too high.
LoL - I try not to be Andrew's arch enemy, but I am Afrikaans and I do drive a Pajero. I also do know to disable the stability control in sand. But I am a fan of ASPW, watch all his content, was a Patron (I run out money) , and did most of his Udemy Courses. But you must be a ASPW fan too, to know about the Pajero thing. Cool.

I am a fan of his, sometimes. I think his evaluation of the Pajero was very unfair, being that it was driven predominately on sand. Having said that I like 99% of his content. Take care
The Land Cruiser 70 and Hiilux I had, is a bit of a donkey cart when it come to the seats and comfort, and you have to spend a fair amount of money to make it liveable. Thanks for watching, Regards Hendri.
