Is this Mitsubishi Pajero the Perfect Way To Get Into Off-Roading? This Dubai Owner Say Yes! 

That was cool.. 😁

These Pajero's are a simple mans Land Cruiser, very capable, very reliable, just very good

Cool seeing people from other countries showing their rigs!

I’m a proud owner of a 2005 Mitsubishi Montero Limited, and for a long time now I’ve been asking you guys to test the Gen 3 Montero-FINALLY my prayers have been answered!😁🤣

I love you tfl for not forgetting about this legendary cars

I LOVE MY 2003 Montero / Pajero . I bought it with 138k miles on it for $4900 US almost 5 years ago and it has given me so many fun memories. I've done some routine maintenance the Timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, new battery, routine oil changes every 5k miles, and am just about to finally replace the whole suspension to include new shocks/struts, front upper and lower control arms, inner and outer Tie Rods, and the front hub bearings. Should ride like a dream after this. At just over 201,000 miles the AC still blows cold here on super hot Hawaii days, motor still pulls great, no leaks "that I can tell" a little rust here and there but flex seal and Rustolium took care of that. I'm moving to Colorado in March and I can't wait to see the trips the old gal takes me on. Shipping to LA and will be doing about a 2500 mile trip covering Monterey, San Fran, Napa/Sonoma, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Moab area and then finally heading to Colorado. I love the seating position, and the seats are super comfy on long drives, longest was 8-9 Hours from Pittsburgh, to North Carolina, and North Carolina to Orlando FL. I REALLY REALLY wish Mitsubishi would entertain the idea of brining back the Montero to the US after they stopped in 2006, or they would allow the Import of 2017-19 Pajero's. It's literally the same car just some updates here and there. I think there is a market now and would be a budget friendly option for a 7 seater off road capable truck that would be around that 40-50k mark or even less. Hope to at least see 300k with the truck and will drive it until it disintegrates.

I had the 3.8L with a 2 inch lift over here in Taiwan. Put a few light years on it.

So nice how at the end the guys on the buggy asked if everything was okay.

I had a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Endeavor and man that thing was a beast! It would take me anywhere I wanted to go! Love your Pajero!

I have a 2001 Montero Limited.. absolutely love the car and bummed they stopped making them. Its surprisingly capable off road

In my USAF days, before the Iraq war we went to Kuwait a lot for Operation Southern Watch. Being security forces, we used these Pajeros a lot for our vehicles . Very capable in the sand and comfortable driving around. Great little SUV’s

When I was in Dubai, I got to experience this. Doesn’t look fast from inside the video, but I tell you it’s better than any roller coaster ride. The pastor there was kind enough to lend me his Mitsubishi Pajero to do this in and that car was exactly 100% the same as this one. Good times

I just bought a 2006 Pajero 3.8 L v6 petrol and I absolute love it !

please please get one of these and have it join your oddly reliable offroad hooptie fleet.

Almost all cool SUVs are no longer (or never where) available in the USA. I really liked my Suzuki Sidekick until the engine went out. Had some great adventures tho. I wish there were more 2 door options in the US. Glad the new Bronc' is available in 2 door. Love that Rocky yalls bought. I wish Isuzu would come back to the USA with some sweet legit off roaders.

I miss when Mitsubishi made proper 4x4s in North America. Its all low riding crossovers and softroading mall crawlers now. Bring us the Triton and bring back the Montero, Mitsubishi, they would sell like hotcakes here.

You can still find Gen3 Monteros here in the States, check out some of the videos and suspension tests I did wit them!

Mr Dubai, you have a fantastic rig there. Keep it for your boys to learn on and eventually join Dad on adventures.

As someone who lives in Abu Dhabi, you see a ton of Pajero's on the road daily. They look pretty slick.

In some Spanish speaking countries this name is slang for “masturbator”. Kinda like when they tried to sell the Chevy “nova” (doesn’t go) in Mexico’s. Car manufacturers should always get language slang consult.

Nice! I have a 1999 Montero with the rear locker winter package. 7 seats, but narrow enough to go on most any trail. I freaking love these suvs! Any year is very good.

Tint the windows brother , you will immediately appreciate how good it looks.

That was a good video, I appreciate the commentary about the vehicle and the off-road culture. The Pajeros come in, small, medium, and large; although the Jr is only a Pajero in name. I had the medium sized two door Pajero when I was stationed in Japan. No desert running, but lots of very narrow mountain trails and snow bashing to the ski resorts. Never gave me a problem in 5 years, and the 4x4 was competent with the center locker engaged.

There good cars. I grew up in a 1991, 1995 and 2001 Mitsubishi Montero. All of them made it easily over 200k miles. But the automatic transmission is it weakest link!!! The 91 was a stick. The 95 started slipping around 220k miles. And the 01 started slipping around 180k miles. My mom was nice to them. She just drove a lot for work.

All love and respect to TFL team.. your efforts to always bring us every useful, entertaining and unique content is really appreciated..btw you're reaching fans from all over the world..I'm your fan from Syria, middle east since 2010 and I'll always be..keep it up guys ✌

Come to NEPAL, u will see these.. Love the pajero.. From the 1st gen to the 4th.. All are still on the road.. N reliable as hell..

Larry Wheels had a video where he went riding on performance vehicles like this in Dubai at high speeds. Fast crazy driving. They love their desert off-road vehicles over there. Time for a road trip guys.

Get a Gen 2 Mitsubishi Montero! One of the most underrated vehicles but very capable.

Beauty! I have a similar one, the 2006 Mitsubishi Pajero GLS 3.0 V6 24V Petrol. Lovely cars 👌🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

Mine is red, 2003 3.8 petrol.

Good video. You can see it was likely the real inspiration for the new defender. Spare mounted on the large single swinging rear door, that swings the wrong way. Four wheel independent suspension. Seven passenger seating. Reliability issues. Basically the Shogun is the new defender.

2001 xls 3.5 here love it .

I hadn't run into this video earlier, but it is very good. It gave us an overall view of the vehicle and a sense of what is like to off-road in Dubai. Thank you and enjoy the Montero for many years to come. Cheers mate...

Really liked the Pajero. If it wasn't for the mileage and lack of power I would've had one. Mitsu should've showed the drivetrain some love.

Yooo i used to have an 05 and when started her up, nostalgia hit me hard

Team TFL, These international reviews are great, when do we get a 2 door Prado on your channel? My intuition tells me rust is not an issue in this location.

I have 2002 Montero. LOVE, love it! Did the usual Old Man Emu 2in lift with slightly larger tires and it goes everywhere! I've had to pull many Jeeps out this past year. LOL. TRE rear locker is in route.

Not sure if iv seen this?? This looks like solid Beast for off roading..Roman!!! Get one of these trucks Bro!!☺Be cool to see this on trails.

Got MY2007 3.8V6 petrol and it is a great rig on and off road, “a tad” thirsty though:-)))

Hey, Great video !! I also own a 3rd Gen Pajero, here in Bahrain. I wanted to know which gear you use for the sand dunes . Is it the 4HLC? and have you done any service to the differentials? I wanted to know cause mine just crossed 203,000 Kms and i wanted to know what all major service i should look out for ?

I dig the techno-fab compass/barometer/altimeter display.

Buddy, you have great English!👍 nice ride, send update after mods

Great video. I'm thinking to get a diesel pajero swb vision. Not sure does diesel engine reliable as petrol engine?

I'm starting to see a lot of these in Eastern Europe. They look the business for sure. Now I know a little more about them, thank you 👍

Love my np pajero, awesome video

Please tfl if you are reading this for your next cheap offroader please consider getting a Mitsubishi montero (preferably the regular model not the sport) as your next car in the tfl fleet since not many people offroad these suv's

Great vid !!!!that I would love to visit your country.. I have the same truck

i had a 3.8 v6 the top end with 3 door and i live in dubai so i like it but the patrol has always been the king

very nice video enjoy the content kudos to the guy who made it!! i love off road and offroad vehicle and seeing them around the world and how people use them is awesome! keep it up everyone!

I don't think they offer the 3l v6 any more. Didn't they make the 3.2 common rail diesel exclusive to the pajero wagon after 2007?

Great dude, and really knows his stuff. Thanks very much, and maybe you could do some reporting for TFL since they only give limited space to overseas machines.

I have had many models of this car. Let me tell you I am so in love with them It’s now my dream car

Fun fact about the Pajero in Spanish it means wanker. I'm guessing that's why they're called Montero in the Americas.

I just recently got one for peanuts and Im having a blast. Glad mines called Montero. They really messed up with the name Pajero there.

I believe the 06 its a 3.8L on the gasoline engine! I have a 2001 which came with 3.5L engine! The montero sport came with the 3.0L

I love Pajero

Here in the U.S. it's called Mitsubishi Montero but I believe they stop selling them here several years ago.

Is the a/c good?

TFL team come to dubai and I'm ready to show you cool places in uae 🇦🇪

It's an awesome vehicle

I have a 2004 shogun 3.2 DI -D and it is brilliant. Hiya from Wales.

These were cool SUVs. Capable off road but people in the US want luxury, comfort and fuel economy. The crossovers killed the montero. Nice to see that it's still being sold in other countries

Nice 😀

Great vehicles. Tough to find without high miles in the US

Isn't this vehicle a unibody with an all independent suspension?

Do you know why the Pajero is sold in other countries as a Shogun or Montero ???

My best friend has a Mitsubishi that looks like that but I don't think it's called Pajero I would love to own one

I am using the same car and model but a 3.8 L engine ,, I have been using it for nearly a year it has a 152000 km but I'm not happy with it as a daily drive ,, it's not that much reliable,, has a tendency to breake,, with weird malfunctions .. although I take good care of it ,, keeping in mind the high position is really great,, and the pajero is famous for it's bad suspension system

i would just go for a land cruiser it's cheap as F in the UAE

06 montero onwer

LOVE MY MONTY!

nice "we6"

What perfect tired for off road??

If only the Pajero didn't have the oil leak but it's one of my favorite cheap ol'offroaders .. nice vid guys 😁

Wow

1:34 I need that Pajero emblem on the license garnish... Anyone knows the part number?

Hello prakesh! Dakadaka dakadaka!

he said Toyota Land Cruiser is the king in that environment ,,,

8th battery wow. That heat is a bitch. What's up with the gloves? Afraid to get the car dusty?

Also an excellent option for 3rd world roads and even cities with terrible driveways.

Gloves..? Is this car stolen..?

They need to bring back the Pajero to the US. Awesome review of what the world has that the US lost.

I have a Pajero 4 3.8L in Dubai and when stock it's not that good for dune bashing. For a cheaper price in the UAE you can have a X-Terra 4.0L that make a better job when stock. But when modded with basic stuff like better tyres, better suspension,etc,etc... then the Pajero transform itself into a Land-cruiser and Patrol killer. So, good car overall but not directly ready for good off-roading session. In the UAE the Pajero is extremely popular and mostly uses for daily usage. So much that for the UAE market they removed the differential lock on the 3.5L version (the most sold) 😅

These pajero seem to be not quite good off road

Brother, the Patrol is not the same as the Armada. They’re two completely different vehicles.

Who 😯😷✊

Pajero, REALLY? Why on earth would they call this vehicle “The Masturbator?” Ugh!....

I thought this was about "my new ride".

He just bought an ax last night to chop some one :)) not some wood!
