you made confusing subject easy to understand. Thank you.. that was a good info and now I know what these mystery letters are all about and their uses....:) Once again thank you bro..

[@gerhardstrydom5249]

Spot on! ...just lift foot of excelerator when changing from 2H to 4H and back to 2H. From experience on the dunes...always switch off the ASC and for the automatics to rather use the tiptronic function than auto mode. Happy driving!!😁

[@bradleyswift1986]

Love the super select in my Mr Triton nothing like being able to change to 4H while driving great for wet roads

[@joelcolgate3683]

Totally agree. I actually just leave my Triton in 4H permanently, such a good feature with a ute, especially unladen when you suddenly have to put your foot down in traffic.

Great demo and explanation. Thank you.

Good stuff , clear explanations on everything

[@s1jaeng]

thanks! i always have a hunch that you can use 4H on the highway especially when raining. this is the confirmation i needed. thanks again.

[@MrRemcoLamberts]

We have the Pajero Sport on 4h continuously. We used 2wd mode initially in the city and on highway but found the car feeling slightly skittish. Especially in the wet. So much so, I lost confidence in 2wd. The car is just too heavy and high, and hardly any difference in fuel consumption. Anyway 4h is nothing more then say Subaru's AWD.

Thanks mate, Im learning and just read the manual as well.. need to put it in practice... cheers from Mex.

[@alexsallery]

Another quality video! Would you not think that going up sandy inclines it's best to use high to get up speed and momentum? Or do you still prefer low?

[@T.A.G]

It's all circumstantial. Wheel speed is a factor.

[@gnarlyboot477]

Hi, just purchased and have started to watch your back catalogue. I’m in the UK and the car is sold as a Shogun Sport. I’ve noticed the online and paper manual is incorrect regarding the cabin fuse position. I’ve had this confirmed by my local dealer, who was unaware of the issue. Is the manual correct in Oz? For example fuse 6 actually for the cigarette lighter and both accessory sockets. While the manual states fuse 2. Loving your content great for owners.

[@kingerz]

Good vid. You need to drive straight too and ease off on the accelerator going between 2H and 4H. It is all in the manual.

[@herb8801]

Great video! Quick question I have a 2018 Pajero NX & only just realised reading card under visor & watching videos that switching from 4HLc to 4LLc & back should be done in N. Haven't done much 4WD - but may have done that a couple of times in either D or P with the car stopped - could that have caused some damage? Doing some experimenting now you can actually clearly hear it lock in & out of 4LLc & the 4L light comes on in the dish - that's normal right - you should be able to hear it? All seems to be working well but just thought I would ask. Thanks. Laurence 😃

[@thembaallen2948]

Brilliant video. I wish you show virtually the buttons ad stuff of rear and central diff locks than just talking about it. Also go through painstaking short description of what rear and central lock. I sent my young brother and he sort off got lost with those words. Otherwise I ilke your channel, good work and simple enough to follow. 👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽.

[@michaelelaluf1012]

Thank you.

[@UKRedSnow]

If you were buying a Shogun (Pajero) Sport second hand, any way to tell if previous owners may have not been so careful with selecting the correct modes etc and that they've not caused any damage? I guess no way to test properly if a test drive area near the dealer has no "loose stuff" to test the 4HLc/4LLc? Great video explanation, thank you 👍🏻

[@T.A.G]

Can only look out for strange noises when selecting and once selected

[@richardmalone3172]

Thanks mate, very helpful. Reading the manual is bloody painful. Constant warnings. Maybe they could just go through the explanation and then refer the reader to the ‘warning page’ instead of confusing old buggers such as myself.

[@Grant27966]

Thanks for that, I'm about to buy a 2022 Triton Ute to tow up tp 2 tonne Caravan. Mostly will be sealed roads, park on grassy camp sites maybe the odd metal road or wet hilly sealed roads. Trying to decide if I should spend another 7 grand on the GLXR 4WD with Super select 2. Appreciate your thoughtd either way cheers man

[@T.A.G]

100% go the super select, excellent for towing and the extra traction in the wet is great

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Nice video 👍🏿👌🏿 Over here, it's very wise to drive in 4H coz the roads, even the tarmac ones, have lots of dust in places. In 2H, my 2006 Mitsubishi Pajero v73w 3.0 V6 24V Petrol does feel "skittish". What's the highest speed permissible to drive while 4H? Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@paulhilder3439]

Thanks for the video,do you know if there are any restriction on the speed that you can drive in 4h?

[@T.A.G]

If towing offroad through sand and loose gravel yes. But towing on hard surfaces only 4h

[@ayamk3970]

Thanks first. And i have Q / my house is on the hills. Which one i use

[@danielneilsen1982]

Great vid. Any chance of doing a vid undertaking the same terrain obstacles using superselect 4LLC modes and then with rear diff lock? I sometimes find myself unsure where and when is best to use the diff locker rather than the terrain modes. eg. Drive a hill climb in superselect. Then drive the same hill with diff locker. Which is better?

[@T.A.G]

This is a fluid question. It changes in every scenario. A locker comes into play the most when lifting wheels or if you find the car losing traction on shaly ground on one side etc

[@ultrapro5054]

Does Triton MN have this super select too?

[@MrJoker8381]

Very informative. Thanks cob!

[@T.A.G]

Glad it was helpful!

[@richardandrin1327]

Can you do a video about the hill descend function (to use it or not when descending a hill) and the button next to it in your Pajero Sport.

[@T.A.G]

I can try for sure

[@timberger561]

I used hill descent on a 2km long down hill rutted and rocky descent. Was great. I was actually pleased to find out the car shows a brake temp warning eventually so shifted to low range and crawled to allow for cooling and no brake.

[@T.A.G]

That's the best way. Use low range when going down as much as possible to save strain on the brakes etc. Let the engine do the work

[@timrussell85]

Great video mate, from what I under stand you can’t engage from 2wd to 4wd while stopped can you ? I’m heading to Moreton on wed and just want to make sure I’m in 4wd before I exit the boat haha

[@T.A.G]

You can. If it lines up. If not just leave it in 4h if you have super select

[@timrussell85]

@@T.A.G yeah sweet I’ll pop it in 4wd just before I drive on the boat Thanks mate

[@rajan7476]

Do you keep it in 2H on tarmac, or is it 4H all the time or only 4H in the wet? Love the vids mate

[@T.A.G]

I usually use 2h unless towing or wet weather. Or if I know I'm going to shoot off the hard stuff shortly

[@T.A.G]

I find the transfer case can feel like it's binding in 4h when doing 3 point turns etc

[@_cowdoy]

Love the SS in my Pajero. I have to put it in 4H for hill-starts when it's raining, otherwise it skids and traction control stops me going anywhere. PITA

[@caleb7505]

I have a MQ 2017 Triton, it has the same selector dial, but I only have 2H, 4H and 4L, would I be able to use 4H on wet roads, because the wheels tend to skid quite a bit when driving on flat roads or up a incline , even when in 4th at around low speeds to medium speeds like 30-50kmh. Loved the video mate!

[@caleb7505]

It is a glx+ by the way, if that makes any difference

[@T.A.G]

Unfortunately not. Sounds like you have the easyselect model. The easyselect doesn't have a centre diff so can't be used in sealed roads

[@user-ec7kt7gx5g]

Can you drive the turn the car when you have super select.. And with what speed can I drive.. Thanks

[@T.A.G]

In 4h with superselect you can drive as normal except its still good practice to avoid full lock turns on hard sufaces

[@richardwolski5899]

I have a nw Pajero and found the 4hlc fantastic in sand and loose gravel doing 50,60,or 70 ks...

[@Hutchy86]

Great vid mate. Just noticed I had an O-ring go on the intercooler. Done under warranty but not convinced it won’t happen again. Was told it’s a known thing but seems to be up to the owner to point it out. 3 of us at work drive Pajero Sports and go to different dealers for services. After pointing it out turns out theirs need replacing too🤔 all vehicles are under 40,000kms. Your thoughts?

[@T.A.G]

Very common. Someone has found an o ring from heavy machinery that's the same diameter but slightly thicker. Have a look on the pages and you should be able to find the post. Definitely worth the upgrade

[@goysjohn9239]

Hi mate question, if you drive in the sand ( beach ) did you need to take some air into your tyre. Or it is ok without taking out some air, just shift to 4Hlc?

[@T.A.G]

100% take air out of your tyres. That is the biggest factor for sand driving, start at 15psi and drop if needed. Not only does it reduce stress on your vehicle but saves the tracks for others

[@lancer1993]

Does this also apple to the older 4th gen Pajero's like the NW?

[@SouthlandFlyer]

Yes, identical setup and behaviour. I dont know about the Paj Sport, but when in 4H, the gen 4 Paj has a viscous LSD coupling on the centre diff, so its not a completely open centre diff in that mode.

[@positivepete4265]

Is the psport a good beginners 4wd but still capable for all the big fun?

Very. Highly recommend

[@andreilupan6893]

So, if i have a Mitsubishi with Super Select, and let's say, in a city, where we all know that are asphalt streets, and someone come to me and say " hey, my bus just broke down, can you help me to get it out off the road ?", and to pull 40t, you need a lot of torque, so you need 4Llc gear, you can do it? Or you can break the transfer box? Supe Select is that sensible? Other cars without centre diff lock system can go 4L any time on any suface without any damage to the car. Is something that i don't understand about Super Select?

[@T.A.G]

Look. You could use 4l as long as your stay dead straight and don't turn. However you could still damage the driveline. If it came to a larger vehicle I'd suggest calling a proper recovery vehicle or tow truck to assist. That being said if you pulled with 4l on tarmac you could bind the transmission up with wheel slip. And become bound to the point you'd need to jack the vehicle up to avoid more damage etc In short. Yes but I would advise against it.

[@T.A.G]

Other vehicles can't go 4l on any surface as they don't have the centre diff. And you can't use 4l on superselect without it locking the centre diff
