Hi guys & gals,
Another newbie to the forum and hopefully a Pajero owner soon. Looking at buying a Gen 4 but am a bit uncertain.
I like the DiD's but can get a good V6 for a relatively nice price. Any known issues I should look out for? How does fuel consumption compare to that of the Di-D (real world consumption, not google figures). How expensive are these to maintain? How well do they tow?
Apologies for all the questions. LOL
The V6 in the Gen4 has 184kw and if you select 4th gear you can tow comfortably at 40km/h in the Kruger or 100km on the open road. It will conquer just about any mountain at the 3000rpm 100km/h cruise. BUT it will consume fuel at anything from 18 to 20 litres per 100km.
It is a beautiful engine and it operates seemlessly with the autobox and traction/stability control systems.
Maintenance is easy and cheap, but every 90k km is timing belt and spark plugs time. That is labour heavy and can run up a R10k bill.

Thank you Roelf, much appreciated. Am a bit concerned about fuel consumption to be honest. Thinking I should keep searching for a Di-D. 
By the sound of things the Di-D's also seem to have better resale value.

Sub R200k. Looking at 2007/2008 models. Most of them around 170 000km. Will also consider a good gen 3 diesel shorty.
