- What`s happened to the Pajero? It was time to upgrade and we needed a NEW 4X4 for towing an Off-Road Camper Trailer around Aus. We have a bit of a back story to share and why we got this and whether we are happy with it.

Looks like new, congrats. 👌👍
Yeah mate, pretty sharp and definitely one of the things that drew us in 🍺
A nice clean car and already setup with the important things. Probably has been towing so a trans service would be good. You probably know about the oil service has to be done within 10 minutes to keep the oil pump primed.
Hi Zoe, Yeah I've read up on that but I won't be touching anything mechanically unless I have to, pref let the Pros tinker with the important stuff 😁
I think Anita will be very pleased with her decision, the Paj will not let her down, spare parts aplenty..any mechanic worth their experience on the tools will be able to fix it. The Ranger on the other can be..let us just say..frustrating..would be putting it kindly, good luck and it would be good to compare the ownership experience you will have between the Pajero and the Ranger...my money is with Anita.
Yeah mate, seeing the difference I agree will be interesting for sure and all part of the fun.
Was really tough settling with some great options around but fingers crossed or maybe it'll be good content for you 😁
Hey Deezel, look into a fascia replacement and put the uhf behind the glove box. A RJ-45 pass through for the handset. That's how I wired up my FX4. Cheers 🍻
Hi Luke, yeah the connections options to move is there but bloody hell it's a terrible spot the way I sit.
Guess everyone likes different things but really don't want to leave the hand piece holes either 🤔
Well you got the Pen is extension lol. Glad you are keeping the Paj. Hope the Ranger does you well and I would love to see Anita using the Pajero to out wheel and recover the Ranger.
Yeah mates she is keen, it would make a great video if that recovery did happen 😂
@@gettingaroundaus Damn right it would. I have recovered more Ranger's than any other make of vehicle.
The ranger looks great mate. Congratulations on the purchase. Looks like it has a lot of extras already on it. I have had a 2017 xlt for the last few years and love it. Enjoy the new car mate
Ahh noice a fellow ranger owner, look forward to sharing the new adventures mate 🍻
Thanks for ruining the surprise :(
Congrats on the new purchase!
Cheers rogue! Really happy with it so far 😁
Hey mate love the show . We also have the same camper . I build transmissions for a living , 1 thing you definitely need and is almost a must for that auto is a transmission cooler .
The transmission are awesome , unfortunately the transmission coolers are a big let down .
I’m very confident in telling you especially Towing’s the camper that the trans cooler upgrade is a MUST for that transmission.
The transmission in a Ranger is awesome 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😋😋🤣
@@darrengray2309 they can be awesome. With an upgraded trans cooler . Nothing wrong with them .
Really appreciate the shout on that one, is there a specific recommendation?
Feel free to dm on socials or messenger if that's easier.
Likely will be doing a trip across the Nullarbor in a couple of months and was considering leaving the ranger behind while I get her ready for longer travel. 🍺
awesome choice
Cheers, thank you 😊
Congrats on the new Ranger… I’ve had the 3.2, the BiTurbo and now the new V6 and have towed with all three.
Ranger FB groups are littered with ill informed toss bags who will tell the 3.2 engines are renowned for blowing up… If we just deal in facts and common sense the 3.2 engine is a low stressed and very robust engine whereas the BiTurbo which actually tows better, is working a whole lot harder when towing. What causes many or even most of the 3.2 engine failures you hear about is more often a failure of the EGR cooler.
Secondly, the transmissions (ZF) are bullet proof… and used in many super high performance vehicles.
Longevity is simply down to maintenance.
My suggestion…
- Replace your EGR cooler now and then every 80-100,000kms
- Have the transmission serviced if there is no evidence in the records of a recent service (The sealed for life theory is crap)
Have a look at the link below explaining about the EGR… and there’s no reason why a 3.2 engine won’t do over 300,000kms

Cheers Graeme, appreciate your thoughts! I`ll sift through the stories but try to keep my mind open also as I am keen to learn. Can`t wait to get her and in amongst it! Thanks for dropping a line mate 🍻
All the best and safe travels 🤙 wouldn’t swap my 200 series LC petrol for anything else .
Yeah mate I bet! Would have loved to get a LC and did have a look but they are just too much for us and we had to settle 😁
Hi, we've got the xlt version and been towing a 2.5T Van for 2 yrs and done 50k so far. Not a problem, touch wood. But I tow in 'S' mode so the trans doesn't heat up..Great car, smooth, quiet and great on fuel, 15.5lt/100k.
That's good to hear. Towing in S I haven't tried yet, 15.5l per 100 is pretty good in my books. Our Pajero about that. Appreciate the tip and will try it out 🍺
Thanks for dropping a line 👍
@@gettingaroundausdefinitely in drive in s mode, and update the boost hose😊
@@aaronhunter7062 boost hose, check! 🍻
RIP Paj
Yeah but she'll likely still make appearances 😁
Good luck with the new vehicle but the 3.2 ltr Pajero's are Bullitt proof compared to the Rangers
Could not agree more..
Ours hasn't quite been bullet proof but are definitely keeping it 😁
We still love the mighty paj 👌
Hope you're only going to tow a canoe
I do enjoy canoeing 🛶 👌
Love your channel but sad to see you bailed on the Paj. As a mechanic, I can honestly say you've gotten rid of one of the most reliable deisel 4WDs for one of the most unreliable. Hope it doesn't let you down and Carey on your epic adventures
Yeah all things considered that was definitely a thought that I had, but all things considered felt like I was going land where I did having the option to still jump in the paj anyway 😁
2 litre is the better one tbh
