I had the same engine in my 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero 2500 Intercooler Turbo. Not the fastest car, but damn it was fun to drive with that 5-speed manual. And for a 2-ton+ car it was quite good on fuel. 9.5 L / 100 km? Not bad. I would never want a gasoline V6 or V8 in an SUV. You literally have to live near gas stations 24/7. No thanks. Diesel all the way.
Definitely is my dream truck I will get that engine change by tomorrow American diesel is only one engine good the one dodge ram use very strong engine I love that truck good in colombia 🇨🇴
my dad just got me this car as my first car, he got it for free with only 150ks on it. its pretty much the same as the one in the video (2.5L turbo diesel with an intercooler) accept its short wheel base. the body is a little bit rusted up so i decided to watch a review on it to see if it was worth the money, Thanks for the review 👍👍. I am planning to fix her up and put mods on it.
Audi floor mats... yeeeaaahhhh... 😂😂😂😂😂😁😂😆😂 I enjoy watching your vids Derek from Pacific Coast Auto!!!... lol Keep on the good work... can't wait to buy one car from you dude!!!.. 👌👌👌👌💪💪💪 #NicaraguanFan
one thing people don't know about these cars. take the front and rear headrests off and lay the back of the seats down. the whole car has turned into a giant bed. witch is cool if you are stranded somewhere over night. i have never seen any car with this kind of well thought out layout.
In spanish "Pajero" means "Lazy", but in a very insolent and obscene way; or in less words, someone who masturbates. That's why it was sold as "Montero" in the american continent, and as "Shogun" in some countries in europe.
When we looked it up with a dictionary it said, "One who masturbates frequently". I would love a shirt with a picture of a Pajero that says wanker on it.
Yet in Japan, "Pajero" is pronounced with a hard English "j" sound (as in "jump"), instead of the Spanish "j" sound (which would sound similar to Russian "kh," or the "ch" in Scottish "loch").
In the philippines mitsubishi is still selling that exact engine with a different vehicle but n/a(non turbo) with a 5speed manual, very reliable engine and it's very noisy on the highway.
Nice rig... great condition! The tid bit about kids and seatbelts really is disturbing. Even in my country (a small Caribbean island) it's illegal to have children under 5 in the back without a restraint. Under 2 a car seat is required, and from 3-5 just the regular seatbelt is ok. It's not ideal, but still appears to be more than what Japan mandates.
I had one like this with high roof, same engine. Great car. Not so good for extreme offroading but it had great driving and towing capabilitys. Very bad thing is the frame, they rost and they die of it, especially at the rear axle.
I have an 88 exceed version of your truck , it has heated leather sprung seats ,AC , electrics etc the steering wheel is huge so I replaced it a smaller sports wheel
+Matt Dudley yeah your right I was saying like hard to find interior trim pieces or body panels but your right any place can get parts. I like to rockauto.com good place to find hard to find parts
Matt Dudley Yes these are the Montero Limited ! You cam get parts for them faily easy also. I am a huge Montero fan. Owned the 95 and 02. They are tough, and the low gear rang is the best i have seen on non modified vehicles ! They stopped being popular because our USA folks want that 8 cylinder power. They stopped importing them to the USA in 06.
This would be an awesome truck to have up here in Maine, I could be wrong but I don't believe you could get a diesel in the Montero's here in the states. Yeah you could buy a gas one an there probably isn't a huge amount of differences but the engine alone would make it worth it. A older vehicle like this would more than likely not be in as good of shape without someone doing a resto on it anyway due to rust ( they heavily salt roads here) but it would be nice to take out an drive the Mountains trails in it.
If you want to sell a vehicle with paint that is fading why not have it buffed?? I could make this look brand new and up your sell price. To me selling a vehicle at low potential is a waste of time.
I've got a pajero 1992 2.5 had it 7years cost me £300 spent £1000 on it over that time good car starts first time and good on derv.and isn't slow holds the road good great off road as well.
There are various car websites about JDM vehicles being exported to another countries. If you have any questions be sure to check his other videos or directly send him a message via email. But as he mentioned earlier first gen Mitsubishi Pajero's are quite rare.
For a stock little 4x4 they are quite solid, especially for IFS, SWB model is better offroad wise. Only thing is the motor which seems to have head issues..
Mitsubishi pajero was sold as Mitsubishi Montero in the US market and they had no diesel model available. Many US consumers didn't really like diesel cars because of their noise and terrible smell,lol. Also, believe it or not, same car was also manufactured here in South Korea by Hyundai under license from Mitsubishi since Hyundai and Mitsubishi were good partners. The Hyundai version of Pajero was sold as Hyundai Galloper :)
I got driven around Barbados in this couple months ago 😂 never been so fucking scared in my life, that thing needed an alignment, the steering wheel had to be at 90 degrees to the left to drive straight 😂and not mentioning we almost rolled over in every single fucking roundabout.... looks nice but god damn death trap if It's in bad condition
