The I guess it's NO. Oh well, can't have everything hey? BTW absolutely LOVE the car :D
Interesting that you say that. In Australia that was the Mitsubishi slogan for a long time, think it still is?

They made some Youtube video adverts that you can search to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of Pajero down under.

"Love that Car!"

Interesting, didn't know that.

On another note, can your fuelly be correct for a 3.2 DiD? 14,8 l/100km? That seems rather heavy to say the least?

SSG,

Come to the "tie in the dots" event in September and see Cats' Pajero, it is fully kitted-out and must weigh an extra ton :twisted: - don't even talk about the extra wind restance :o

Roelf is spot on! Also remember that I mostly use my Pajero for touring and thus it never sees the open road without my 1.8ton Xplorer hooked up as well, not too mention the fully loaded roofrack. So the fuel consumption average is not really a comparison for anyone.

By the way I own a Disco4 diesel as well and it does even worse as it does 16l/100km avg!! It really does not like my daily slog where I travel 10km in 1 hour with the traffic!

Re: New Mitsubishi Pajero MY13
Thank you for clarifying that CATS!

I took the car for a drive last night and fortunately didn't see any major movement on the dash on a badly corrugated road, so that's a relief.

The car has been named "Tafika". This is a Malawian name meaning 'I'm home'. :D

Re: New Mitsubishi Pajero MY13
had a look at the mitsu website and those feature listed for the MY13 are only for GLS and Exceed models, so SSG your GLX might still be a MY13
Re: New Mitsubishi Pajero MY13
Got this from an American magazine for the 2015 Pajero:

Performance boosts
2015 Mitsubishi Pajero will come with three motor choices. Standard engine will be the exact same, 3.0-litre V6 supercharged mated to a supercharged eight-speed automatic transmission, while brand new Pajero will be available with two more choices, both with hybrid drive. Very first hybrid in the lineup will be Cross Runner Concept XR – PHEV plug –in variant, which includes 1 – liter engine combined with an electric engine. Another choice is a little hybrid “Active Runner” that features 1 – liter engine and electric engine combined. In accordance to some sources purchasers at the Indian market will have however another choice. For this market 2015 Mitsubishi Pajero will provide additionally a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine with 178 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

Re: New Mitsubishi Pajero Rear Diff or Not ?
Hi,

I am closing in on two Pajero LWB, 2013 2H. 4H, 4HLc , 4LLc the las two have Centr Diff Locked.
But the 2014 has Central Diff Lock + Rear Diff Lock.

For off road driving how important is the Rear Diff. Lock.

They drop it from specs for a few years and then bring it back. Was that to satisfy the Off Road Community.

Roelf, can you advise what Accessories/Mods Mitsubishi will allow without invalidating Warranty ?

Re: New Mitsubishi Pajero MY13
Hi Bushbug,

Sorry, Roelf can't tell you what mods are allowed. He doesn't know and even if he did, he sure doesn't have the authority to do so :o. I wouldn't take the word of anybody on the sales floor in that regard either. Remember a warranty claim is a very "cold" process that is handled in the corporate office, and they do not consider the opinion of the salesman who sold you the car.

Your other question:
1) Rear diff lock is very important when doing serious off-road stuff. I use my Pajero for holidays in the outback and the odd excursion into the mountains, I find the traction control more than adequate and have never bogged down in a Pajero. If I were to consider doing 4x4 trails and competing with the Jones', then I would like to have a rear diff lock.
