From Dakar to the Daily Drive: 35 Years of the Mitsubishi Pajero

What started out as a recreational jeep eventually turned into an iconic SUV. Dakar proven and off-road ready, the Mitsubishi Pajero is just one of many icons to come out of the Diamond Star brand and, this year, it celebrates its 35th anniversary.

Gen2 pajero is like a vampire, doesn't get old.

[@pb6198]

Lot of people still using them around my area. They just look so familiar, it's hard to.explain

[@rjrcimafranca]

Got my second gen Vampire haha

[@PJSinohin]

@@rjrcimafranca congrats! i'm still looking for one.

[@oobibab9572]

Goodluck sa maintenance mga paps! Not to scare you but it's the truth with our gen 2 4m40. Halos every month may nasisira kahit kakalabas lang ng shop. Understandable naman since it's an old vehicle but still iconic as ever.

[@montianritjantuk3811]

They look good until today and look better than others brands look the option Mitsubishi give 15++ years already look technology in the car it top no one do like Mitsubishi they full of 4 by 4 I got one my is 2004 model in Thailand they call Mitsubishi Strada G Wagon engine call really masters 2800 turbo intercooler I love very much

[@ermisp41]

25 years and 222,258 miles after, I still love my PAJERO... Reliable as hell, I used it as my recce car for Cyprus Rally in 2010 & 2011 (meaning, it did the whole rally 6 times) and then it was my service car. Still standing strong. Respect! I own a 2014 BMW520d F10 as well and a SEAT Ibiza 2.0 Gti 16v. Pajero is still my favorite car by far.

[@johanluukkonen7480]

The first generation is very beautiful, and quite cheap conpared to size and weight. 4d56 turbo, ~ 10 liters / 100 km. And very reliable (Japanese quality), 1989 with 625 000 km driven.

[@Ruel3A]

Our family owns 2 FMs... one is MT 4wd 2000 model its brother is 4wd AT both in special plates in 888... we had them for almost 20yrs.. few issues such as cold staring but didn’t cause our family any trouble... very sturdy, reliable and just goes anywhere... it always has the “Pogi” factor which is its real charm and character... love our FMs

I find it more fun driving my dad's pajero exceed rather than my car and little by little i fell inlove to the pajero. Pajero never dies

Ngayon, para mas marami pa rin nageexist ang mga 2nd & 3rd gen. Pajero sa kalsada, plus mga Japan surplus na Pajero

[@gs6810]

I love how much everyone one around the world loves these cars. I just picked one up here in California. a 2003 Gen 3 for $5000 USD with only 8200 miles on it in great condition. Fully loaded. They just aren't valued here in the USA. Mitsubishi has a bad reputation here. Everyone wants a Toyota, so I was able to get a legend at a discount. Great truck and amazingly solid for a unibody with independent suspension.

Greetings from Bolivia. I had the first generation and I liked it a lot, now I have the second generation Mitsubishi Pajero 1999 and it fascinated me much more, I hope that in the next years I can buy the latest model to enjoy it as well as you

[@Pol_Atom]

My dear friends! Greetings from Russia! As you know, in our country there is only vodka, balalaika, Kalashnikov and bears that walk right through the streets. :))) We also have an atomic bomb and many Japanese car lovers. :-) Аnd also our country have real big size. That the reason why we have very bad roads and hard climate. I am owner a 2nd generation Pajero for more than 15 years and I can say that this car wins these problems. I want to convey my warmest greetings to all owners of these beautiful cars. Thank you for the great video. And I want to clarify the information a little. Pajero of the 2nd generation was introduced from 1990 (JDM market) to 2016. After 2000, it was called Pajero classic (for Europe market), and then Pajero CRZ or SFX (for Indian market)

[@autoindustriya]

Hello Russian friend! Thank you for the clarification. Cheers!

[@marcelmk9701]

Gen4 from Brazil! SWB, gasoline V6 3.8 Liter, 2011. I had previously expensive sports cars from differents makes… got a Pajero for to be my daily drive… sold them all over the years, but always kept the Pajero. I’d say its because the driving position, the feeling of relax driving, not worrying about potholes, bumps, floods…. Its understated, not bringing unwanted attention yet, its beautiful and well crafted. And thats my friends, its the best of the both worlds!

Kudos to the first owner of the car for taking care of it and i hope with the current 208000 kilometers, it can go for more and more, and who knows one day, I can bring it from here in the uae to my homeland, Philippines

Over here in the U.S these rigs are not as popular as the other countries. This is good and bad, Good because its different and when you pass a jeep up on the trail they think you're a wizard, Bad because there arent too many parts and definitely not a lot of lifts and suspension upgrades.
