Mitsubishi Pajero Evo - The 40 year old Legend - Off-Road Legends
Ойын-сауық
The Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, or EVO, is an off-road legend with followers as loyal as Star Wars Fans. Named after leopardus pajeros, the Pampas Cat which inhabits the Patagonia plateau region in southern Argentina, this O.G. SUV is also known as the Shogun in the UK, and the Montero (meaning "mountain warrior") in Spain, India, and the Americas (except Brazil). This is because pajero is a slang term for "wanker" in the Spanish language
The first Pajero prototype was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1973. The Pajero II prototype followed in 1978, five years later. Mitsubishi’s aim was to create more of a recreational vehicle, not just an SUV.
In January 1983, the first Pajero made its debut at the Paris Dakar Rally, taking first place in 1985 at only the third attempt - WOW! To date, the Pajero is the most successful vehicle in the Dakar Rally, and for many years, that translated into big sales for the company.
The first generation made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1981, and was launched in May 1982. Initially, it was a three-door, short-wheelbase model available with a metal or canvas top. Its now been four generations, and the SUV is bowing out with only 1,000 units of the 2021 Pajero coming out. In its final lap, it has a lot of loyal fans to wave to, and the reliable truck still has some golden years left on the road.

Team Mitsubishi Pajero! I've owned the Gen 1, 2 and now the 3. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Correction: There was never a V6 diesel in the entire history of the Mitsubishi Pajero to date, the only diesels ever used for the Pajero were the 4D55 (I4 2.3L), 4D56 (I4 2.5L), 4M40 (I4 2.8L), and 4M41 (I4 3.2L).

@@CoachBUGOYChannelShow me one or just an engine code. There was just 2.0 inline carburated, 2.0 turbo inyection and after that all petrol engines were inyected and ofcourse diésel: 2.6 4 inline petrol, v6 3.0 petrol, 2.3 inline diésel and 2.5 inline diesel in the mk1. Mk2 is 2.4 inline petrol, v6 3.0 petrol, v6 3.5 petrol, 2.5 inline diésel and 2.8 inline diésel. Mk3 2.8 and 3.2 diesel are also inline and the last v6 was a 3.8 petrol ínstaled in the mk4. Pajero/shogun/Montero never used diesel v6. I would have made the swap years ago 😁👍🚜💨💨💨🦾
I've got a 3.6L V6 2002 NM Pajero. Absolutely love the vehicle. Plenty of power, plenty of comfort and loads of ability on and off road. I would love the Evo but know that's probably never going to happen. I think the Gen 3 is the best looking of all models followed by the NL Gen 2.5 you have.

great video MichAel I wrote a couple articles on it. My favorite too!
Great video.. learned a coiple things about the Dakar. Here are a few corrections on the information presented: 1. Mitsubishi never offered a V6 diesel in the Pajeros or any of their passenger vehicles 2. 94-96 SR models had the DOHC 6g74 with 4.63 gears 97-00 got the 4.27 gears (SR and Winter Pakcage models had rear lockers) 5. Other world markets for the Gen 2/2.5 had factory 5.3 gears in certain trims 6. 4.90 gears from 2001-2005 Montero Sport AWD with 6g74s, are an upgrade for U.S Monteros.
Your 1998 should have 4.27s which was way worse then the 94-96 SRs 4.63s. 4.90s are always a nice upgrade. I enjoyed the video! You had some of Leo's video as well. That was with us for some trail riding.
Where can I see more on the version in the thumbnail?
Ralliart have revive...next should be pajero (hope using mitsubishi's original platform, not base on nissan patrol) and lancer (same woth pajero, using original platform).
