The Boogeyman : try to ask about the safety & reliability record before giving your comment. Your Mitsubishi may have win some areas but in the long run, Toyota still prevails because again I think this might sound irritating to the ears of Mitsubishi lovers, but safety and reliability plus durability and dependability has been part of Toyota. That is why, Toyota is still the largest car manufacturer because of its long term vision compared to your Mitsubishi who is good for just a couple number of years.
@@streamvision145 that old fart is a die hard toyota fan: 100% biased. i travel a lot to 3rd world countries with shitty road conditions and granted, you see lots of toyotas there especially in rent a cars but guess what, you also see lots of Mitsus. im talking about the pajero/pajero sport and the outlanders. and they aren't even close to be cheap. why they dont sell in the us i don't know. look at suzuki... probably at the same level as toyota in 4x4 and engine quality, and hey you dont see 'em any more around here. toyota, suzuki and mitsubishi are those brands rent a cars trust there, so you tell me
@@disco.lemonade yea bruv i mean i watched reviews about other off-road contests and about 60% of them toyota fans were getting butt hurt i mean c'mon guys toyota isnt the worlds best brand so fork off
I had the Pajero for a year now and I'm very happy with it. The handling on the rural Thai roads is just amazing. The smaller Toyota we had b4, I had to slow down on many corners that wore bumpy. With Pajero I can keep full speed. I'm always in control and the car does what I want it to do. Love it! BTW, the third row seats are adjustable;) It was the lack of the safety features in the Toyota that made us choose the Pajero. Never regret that choice
I drove the 2wd for 500 km over New Year. I like it but found it a little soft for my taste, especially on rough roads and going around corners. maybe the 4wd would handle better with more weight in the front. If I were to buy it I would change the shocks to 8 level adjustable profender monotube shocks (cost about 32,000 baht)
@@mathsunmasked56 Mine is also 2WD and I would not say it's soft like the suspension in a Cadillac, no. It is comfy ride yes however, it performs very well in high speed (motorway at 140-150 km/h) and on rough roads in rural thai-roads and taking corners. I drove some rally cars in my youth, so I push the cars limits more than average person would do:). I have control of the car like I never had with the Toyota we had b4. Car is pretty much exactly 1 year old now and soon time for 40.000km service. Yes, I do drive a lot and I love it:). Got a speeding ticket a couple of weeks ago. Crap, it blow my budget, 300Baht*LOL* Cheers
@@lanpatrick7182 not really, the 4d56t has been around for donkeys years and I have never had one fail, compare that to the new 2.8 that's worse on fuel, has a dpf issue and has aluminium valve bodies which warp an seize sending the engine to destination fucked if it gets a bit too hot
Idk about it tho in my country the Pajero is different from the Montero, which is shown in the vid. Also, the Montero now is being called Pajero Sport in other countries. Well, kinda doubting the old montero with its l300 modified engine. Thats just me. Idk about the new one.
I watched the previous comparison and really couldn't understand how yourll picked the fortuner . Now it makes sense . Better than that i ignored your review and went and got my self a pajero sport 😀
We own a 5 seat Pajero Sport Exceed, lovely car for both on and off road and going to the tip, gearbox is nice for the daily and just looks gorgeous with the DRLs, she was the perfect replacement for our 2003 DHD Pajero Exceed; we did consider the fortuna while looking for a replacement for the old girl. Great review and comparison as always blokes, both good cars for the great southern land.
WIlhelm , I have had mine for 12 months now, I got the base model 5 seater because I don't need the extra rear seats getting in the way or the extra electronic do dads. I can honestly say it was a wise choice, good value for money, good warranty and after sales service, very quiet and comfortable on and off road, very economical to run, it is actually more comfortable and uses less fuel than my Holden SV6 Sportwagon it replaced. On highway trips fuel consumption can drop down to as low as 7.2 L/100klm and towing my heavy tandem work trailer it averages 11 L/100klm. My only gripe is the paint seems very thin, after a few off road trips there are signs of bushes rubbing along the sides that seem to have rubbed through the top coat, also the metal body panels seem very thin and can dint very easily. Other than that I am very happy and glad I chose the Mitsy Sport. 👍
Based on many reviews we didn’t even bother with the Fortuna. Tested the Holden Trailblazer earlier this year, and more recently the Isuzu MU-X and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. While the way the PS tethers a child seat is odd, the comfort, safety, technology, and off road options beat the MU-X by a mile. Obviously Trailblazer is no longer available - but PS definitely beat that too. Value is amazing. No contest really in my opinion. We can’t wait to pick ours up soon!!! I’m coming from a Holden Colorado LS-X MY2015 - the fact that I can hear myself think in the PS due to reduced noise, and doesn’t feel like I’m sitting on a plank of wood will be a welcome change.
I recently (July 2020) bought Pajero Sport exceed version. I had full choice between Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Toyota Fortuna, Isuzu MUX. Engine and ride in Mitsubishi was real selliing point. That and options in exceed version plus the brilliant Super Select II 4wd system, which makes a fool like me look good when it gets tough.
Mitsubishi by far!! We have in our family and old Pajero, brand new from 1990 still running like time hasn't passed, simply amazing we trust Mitsubishi over Toyota.
finally a fair compare i was waiting for it !! thank you guys for the review and the compare im always says the pajero sport 2016 is better than the fortuner both are good names but if u talk about the price here in my country we have the v4 and v6 of both of those cars but the problem is the price of fortuner v4 same the price of the pajero sport v6 !! and the v6 fortuner more fantasy price better to get land cruser if u add more ... so about me i will chose the pajero ^^
Now that they're shifting to an all crossover/suv strategy in the US, and they have investment from Nissan, they might just bring the Montero Sport back to the states. I know I would consider buying one if they did.
I note in the comments that some viewers claim the Toyota is dearer because of reliability, however I bought three Pajeros, one after the other, ending with the 2004 model and I found them super reliable. I have been driving German cars since 2006 because they have far softer suspensions which I need for my ruined back. From watching this show, I would be prepared to test drive the new Pajero, in the hope that the suspension has improved enough for my bad back. In my experience I have found the German cars ride better and have superior engines but overall reliability is definitely in the Japanese camp.
As an owner/driver, you will not have to look at it - it should not be a concern to you. Only those behind you will have to suffer it. I bought one . . . not for the way it looks from behind.
Pros with Mitsubishi SUVs over Toyota: has better on and off road balance and less risk of rolling over if ever you lose your steering control or have a puncture at high speed. All the new Toyota's are notorious for this instability. This has got to be the most important thing SAFETY. Fuel economy Mitsubishi is top here. Alot more comfortable. Cons: once you have an engine problem with a new Mitsubishi that's the end, one problem will lead to another and you'll end up spending your entire life savings fixing one thing after another, any third Generation and above Pajero owner here I'm sure can agree to this FACT! Loads of experienced Toyota mechanics, not so much the case with Mitsubishi. Parts also way more expensive and harder to find than Toyota. Toyota: Pros: Reliability. Better resale price. Spares more readily available and often cheaper than Mitsubishi. Cons: Watch those curves at high speed, many have had accidents whilst driving at high speed around curves and high speed into puddles. Don't get me wrong but Mitsubishi SUVs are amazing yes but once they start having engine problems they can teach you a thing or two about life's uphill battles.
Wilhelm Hesse You’re wrong at the Toyota part men, The Mitsubishi is actually Cheaper with way above safety and tops specs, Unlike the fortuner Way more expensive lacks out of safety and specs.😇 P.S. I’m not triggered
dshiningsword some people love it, some people dont. in my own perspertive the design was something futuristic that would distinguish among the rest. :-)
Just want to inform you guys, few of the South East Asian Fortuner got transmission problem. It's jerky to shift from P to D, and sometimes there's a clanking sound from the transmission. Are you guys experiencing it there in Australia?
got the same problem with my fortuner but in aussie they use 2.8 liter engine not 2.4 liter we got here in Indonesia and Malaysia but now my Toyota already fix this problem on my car
Hi All own a 2016 Fortuner , I tell you now no issues here in Australia with gearbox, 8 months ago I completed 8000km trip from Sydney to Darwin, Kakadu towing a Camper Trailor, cruised beautifully along our freeways,I tell you now I had my doubts if I should of bought a Prado, but tell you now Fortuner perfect vehicle power to weight ratio , had no real issues, waded perfectly across East alligator River, only thing I did when we got back to Sydney I booked it in for Service Toyota to dump oil & water coolant flush, but all good.
you can get a good pajero for like 35k, with leather heated seats, multimedia, and auto transmission, at that price point you can only get a gas engine manual toyota with no multimedia
In terms of durability, u can't beat a Mitsubishi, 7 years driving my Pajero NT till today, nothing mechanically needs to be fixed. My late PA Challenger last about 8 years without an issue before I auto auctioned it. My 1993 diesel SWB Pajero is still running on its original auto transmission. U can't comment on a Mitsubishi long lterm, if I don't own one for long term, and I own 3 Mitsubishi long term. They are less refine in terms of interior n comfort, but if u service them properly every year , they are very very very durable.
Hi Guys, Just want to know where did you guys film that i would like to take my Pajero up into the bush so please let me know where you guy filmed that. Thanks Jai
No surprise. How many Dakars has Mitsi won? I have a jacked up 2013 challenger. The things a beast off road and not all bad on the blacktop. So under rated.
I owned a 2007 4 Cylinder Fortuner in Middle East. Although, I never felt anything wrong in my 10+ years of city and highway driving, multiple well-wishers warned me about Fortuners rolling over to the side on highways due to which we were quite afraid of going on long rides. I would like to know whether that's a myth or a reality...
in malysia, they didn't bring new generation Mitsubishi pajero sport.. but they did bring new generation fortuner. frankly speaking i love the old pajero, my wife used owned the 1997 2.8 intercooler turbo version which still incredibly good but 2 thing i hate when transmission broke down, its cost a lot of money and fuel consumption isn't that great... now she owned a mpv car which is fuel saving and low cost maintenance but she said, she miss the powerful engine pajero used to offered which enable her to drive in any situation
CarAdvice is ALL OVER THE PLACE with their reviews. One day it's the Pajero, next the Everest, next the Fortuner but its not 'slight advantage goes to' sort of thing, it's more like "we can't wait to get out of this car (wait 12 months) ...we love this car!" when barely nothing has changed
Don't understand why they are reviewing the entry level and poorly specced fortuner... Its such a more capable car... Plus navigation is standard in fortuner even in india.. I mean come on guys... U can do better
toyota hold value better . cheaper spare parts . that's all . I tried both and they are amazing . also if u want o get one never take anything less than the 4×4 u don't know when u need it
I remember their last review on Pajero Sport it had only 5 seats. Pajero Sports has a better Off road technology and better suspension and many cool stuff than Fortuner
Seems like such an odd reason to lose the last comparison but win this one. PS beats the Fortuna in basically every aspect except dicky seats....until now!
guys ..iam a foreigner who jst saw ur review of the first time ... I liked it . actually where u guys are from ..ia. planning to buy an SUV I have the fortune u compared in market buy pajero is the old one ...do I have to wait for the new pajero
I cant see this review, Pajero in spanish means "person who loves masturbation". Yeah... im not joking, at least here in argentina means that hahaha. Also... the fortuner here is called Toyota SW4
Douglas calderon yeah, i know... but the word doesnt mean nothing, at least here in argentina. You can suppose that comes from the word "monte"... and yes... probably is that, but... "montero" per se doesnt mean nothing.
Space Monkey. Mitsubishi!!! many years off road DNA , better 4x4, better suspension!!! Toyota only cars but mitsubishi is everywhere in the sea land air and space!!! looks mitsubishi heavy industrial, electric, robotics nuclear defence air 5generetion and space!!! very huge company!!! the best machine and engines!!!
they also have an electronics, electric motors like starters & alternators & elevators. The 1st atomic was dropped to Mitsubishi Aircraft Engine factory in hiroshima japan. They are really great brand/make.
But in india Toyota fortuner has HID Projected head lamps with DRLS .And leather seats with 7 airbag and other safety features . it is also done pretty well in Indian market as compared to Ford Endeavour .
i wanted a secondary utility car for the family.. where i live the dealer brings some cars with like 2 airbags in front.. with very expensive price tag compared to Pajero .. it's Mind blowing.. i get it.. toyota is the king of "reliability".. sadly.. paying for fully equipped Toyota utility cars like Prado or fortuner is like paying almost a full premium car price.. it almost reaches a point that i might as well better off paying for a full large suv from other brands.. sadly our toyota dealer has the audacity to abuse the brand name and increases their cars by 2000$ per year for no reason.. i feel toyota cars pre-2010 has more value/price.. nowadays it's ridiculous... finally i decided to get the pajero fully equipped + it has 7 airbags.. i still managed to get it cheaper by 4000 $ compared to starting price of 6 cylinder version of Fortuner ... it even have a better fuel efficiency than the forturer.. i couldn't get over how illogical buying an overpriced fortuner over a pajero.. they both almost identical in terms of their objective for their buyers.. and it's not like other Japanese manufacturer cars will break anytime in the first 5 years.. the peace of mind of driving with radar safety on pajero is even more worth it to get it.. even if both equally priced.. the car managed to help me avoid few collisions in some moments.. saving my time and mind from headaches.. still appreciative it's "value" to this day! i still dislike it's rear end.. but hey.. it's not like fortuner is the best looking car ever.. or any of toyota lineup anyway.. so it doesn't matter much to me.
