Toyota Land Cruiser vs. Mitsubishi Montero 3 vs. Nissan Patrol SUV Comparison 2019
In this video, a series of different obstacles and the legendary Japanese SUVs:
1. Mitsubishi Pajero 3 / Montero
2. Toyota Land Cruiser 200/205
3. Nissan Patrol Y60
Mitsubishi Pajero 3 factory-made, modifications: 2-inch lift & AT tires.
oyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol have more significant changes: front and rear power bumpers, power sills, winches, an elevator and more off-road tires.
It is difficult to call the presented tests real off-road or serious off-road, but this is enough to form an understanding of the difference in the operation of all-wheel drive systems and auxiliary systems of cars.
Tires on cars in the video:
Land Cruiser 205: Goodyear Duratrac 325/65/18
Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero 3: Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 245/75/17
Nissan Patrol Y60: TOYO Open Country M/T 33x12.5 / 15

Let me remind you Mitsubishi once upon time was king of rally from Paris to Dakar
12 Paris-Dakar wins between 80s-90s. Original Paris-Dakar, aka the toughest one!
More wins than any other manufacturer
What happened?
Yup. Mitsubishi was the king of the rally. A proud owner of gen. 4
Stock Mitsubishi with street tyres beat the crap out of "Legends" with bullbars and mud tyres oh and DIF locks
It s also a legend, it has won a lot od paris dacars
Marijan Spasenovski Not in stock form...
@@Agent.K. you are right it is noticeable from the first sight that this Pajero is deeply modified!! More agressive upgrades than the Patrol and the Toy 😂😂
Mohamed Gaaloul We’re talking about rally Dakar. The pajero used there is not the same one you can buy from showrooms. It has modifications.
@@Agent.K. Actually all the brands participate with a heavily modified cars but they didn't beat the Pajero for several years!
Being a fan of Monteros/Pajeros/and Shoguns.....videos like these make me happy. That Gen 3 absolutely did amazing!
I just bought a Gen 3 Montero, I have yet to take it off road but this video made me extremely happy with my decision
Great!! What year and trim??
what is the fuel consumption of the 3.5l petrol engine?
@@patrickKitambo It will depend a little on the trim. The glx and some gls have a regular 4 speed transmission and they can be a little thirsty. The limited have a 5 speed shift tonic trans with INvECS and they have a better mileage.
You will love it! Super capable ! I’m writing an article on my Blog about it now. Be sure to check it out victroia21.tumblr.com/ It will post an the next hour or so
Man we've had one for 7 years and I lived in the middle east and man was it good in the desert
For a stock SUV with a lift kit, the Pajero kicked butt. Regardless of what year each SUV is from. If the montero had proper off-road tires, snorkel and a rear locker it would more than dominate this and other comparisons. We get the 3.8L version here 👀
Proud owner of a montero! Totally capable!
I have a Pajero & a Patrol, but honestly, all 3 (Mitsubishi, Toyota & Nissan) are great ...
Finally someone who dosent keep bragging about his suv
I sold my pajero and buy a land cruiser for it perfect off road capacities, they are so awesome off roading, pajero are good vehicles but I just wasted something fast more powerful and off road worthy
@@live_the_moment_with_arnol5661the pajero did better than the land cruiser here
@@Irishkiwi but in reality the toyota is more powerful and have a better 4x4
@@live_the_moment_with_arnol5661 yeah I agree, it has a more suitable wheel base and chassis but the pajero is definintley better in some categories like comfort, traction control, fuel economy rigidity and so on. The Toyotas also don’t really have much more power but I get where you’re coming from. The biggest difference is that a Toyota costs 3x more.
I love mitsubishi Pajero... from India.

As always, excellent real-world comparison. Thank you very much!
Here at Mexico, Monteros have dif lock and fully mechanical 4x4. It is simply great with a 3.8l V6 great mix between luxury and offroading
Different versions had different options. My Gen 3 NM has an LSD in the rear, newer Gen 3 have Traction Control like shown and I believe the later with the 3.8L v6 come with a rear locker as well bit that may just be in the Exceed model not the base ones.
Mitsubishi Pajero 🏆💪
For. The. Win.
Wow, you have some great content on your channel! Great video. Where is your king of the hill video? I can't find it.
The traction control system in the gen 3 Montero was way ahead of its time. Of course, front and rear lockers are better... But the TC will get the job done, plus you don't have to worry about any buttons or switches. Many gen 3 owners add an Elocker, best of both worlds.
SuperSelect gearbox make that's so good
Keep making these videos man they’re awesome
I’m glad that you liked the video. Any specific cars you would like to see in upcoming video?
Wow the results surprised me. Good vid!

@@SUVBattle Done!!
Just for your reference Mitsubishi offers the rear differential lock as an optional equipment on the Pajero starting from 1991 on the second generation up to today on the 4th generation.
But not on their Triton truck here in Malaysia. I came within inches of buying my first ever brand-new truck... but no locking diff unless aftermarket killed the deal. If I were to fit my own they'd deny warranty, and no way on this planet am I paying new truck price with no warranty.
@@bigglyguy8429 it is also available as an optional equipment on the pick-up L200/Sportero/TRITON but unfortunately your local distributor didn't ordered it (the rear diff lock is available on L200/TRITON since 1996).
@@mohamedgaaloul2753 Oh it's available in Oz for example but NOT in Malaysia. Us peasants don't deserve or something.
@@mohamedgaaloul2753 you know what tipe of locker Pajero have? Electronic locker or air locker?
@@andreilupan6893 Air locker bro
Thanks Diyas for the wonderful and unbiased videos. You are a great narrator. I'd like to see Patrol Y61 aka GU vs LC100 vs Trooper vs 2nd Gen Facelift Pajero
This is what i call real battle, and the results are clear. Thanks Mitsubishi
Nice explanation and good presentation
Pajero always surprises me in these sorts of videos, but honestly the land cruiser has a special place in my heart, even though it is a heavy drinker. What I like about the pajero though is that it's a cool daily drive and looks cooler than the patrol and the 205
Don’t know about mk3 pajero but I have mk2 and they are heavy drinkers as well.
3.2 Diesel Pajero stock average of 9L per 100km, upgrades about 11L per 100km. Economical.
You re tests are as fair as posibile! Great video! More?
Did not mention Mitsubishi has won more Paris-Dakar rallies than any other manufacturer with the Pajero, so they know something about off-roading.
I have a gen 2.5 Montero Winter Package (Air Center Diff Locker / Rear Diff Locker) and these vehicles are just tough. Underrated and tough.
Had two FJ40 short wheelbase cruisers, good rubber, open diffs with the heaviest drinker in history. One on LPG/petrol, the other petrol. The LPG averaged 29l per 100 km. Both had excellent departure/ramp over. I had gone to extremes on rocky hills to the point you could stop the car get out and push it downhill. My old man had the first series Pajero LWB high roof, also the first in the country. Had bigger rubber, LSD, lifted via the front torsion bars and a puny 2.6 four (which still outperformed the cruisers 4.2 six) and being in OZ the first Integrated ARB steel Bull Bar. One day I accidentally took the Pajero to the same rocky road (the same road two army guys in a army Defender died attempting), the tractive elements of Ind front suspension was apparent, besides a few more scrapes than the cruisers it bolted up the mountain like it's ass was in fire. Neither Cruiser or bike could make it, very scary backing down a rock hill of over 30% also tried my 600 Yamaha enduro bike Funny the Pajero had the gimmicky degree ball, it was handy. One thing about Pajeros including the last 3.2 unitary is front vision, with cruisers and the last Patrols is big bonnets. Having said that the 3.0 litre Patrol was very impressive. Could not take it to the same track as it had been blocked off for obvious reasons.
If you cross the water slower, the car would not fall apart and the Air intake stayed dry. You would not take the risk of damaging the car somewhere far off . But hey, very impressive to see the differences. Thanks for this video!
Very nice, thanks for upload, my brother.
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
@@SUVBattle I love your videos! Your tests are very realistic unlike many other off road reviews done by other youtubers. I would love to watch your videos from your main channel. Unfortunately , I can’t understand Russian. If you can put a subtitle on them or even better do a voiceover, I am pretty sure there is a big audience who would appreciate it.
We have the gen 3 with the 3.2 4m41 diesel. Thing is a goat on hills here in south east asia. The only thing this had a major repair was when the fuel pump needed replacing. Though it was caused when there was water in the diesel, the fuel station had water in their storage tanks
I own the same year Mitsubishi Montero and have fitted similar tires and lift to the other competitors here. I can tell you there is very little that it cannot make is through or over. Very capable and comfortable 4x4.
Pajero performs brilliantly as expected. Yes the rear over hang can be a pain and I do need to replace the rear bar on my Gen 3. This is not really a fair comparison though due to modifications and year models. Personally given none of the others had Traction Control (elec imitation) I feel you should of gone with the earlier Gen 3 which had an LSD in the back rather then TC. In saying that though an LSD and a Locker will still give different results but I do think it would of been more of a fair fight. Anyway, Love the Pajero.
you can use the brakes to help "simulate" locking diffs, cadence braking or threshold braking can accomplish pretty much the same, "brake torquing" will slow the spinning wheel down and increase torque to the tires with the greater traction, diffs split torque equally, so brake applications can increase torque where throttle alone can't
When I heard the news that Mistubishi is discontinuing the Pajero, my heart broke.
It might come back redesigned like the defender
This is very instructive ... I am looking for a SUV for Africa and these video gave me a lot of details and what to consider when I will choose the car.
Don't think more buy the mitsubishi montero is the best and is the less expensive sorry for my English I am a French boy
There are Toyota spares everywhere in Africa. I drive a Pajero.
@@gerhardstrydom5249 pajero is the must
The way this guy pronounces Mitsubishi and differential drives me nuts. But hot damn that Montero in stock form is a beast 💪
4:19 "Mistabishi" wtaf
Bravo MITSUBISHI !!!
Congratulations Mitsubishi Montero. My favorite suv.....
5:50 activated leg lock XD
That part made me laugh so loudly😂😭
There are also front locker from ARB for the V60. But all three are great great rigs
Pajero all day everyday It did great even with street tires no locks smaller tires
instaBlaster.
Montero/Pajero 👍👍👍 Patrol 👍👍 LC 👍
WEEEE WANNTTTT MORE VIDEOSSSSS
I'm pretty sure even a stock 2nd Gen can do this with ease maybe with a 2 inch lift as well. Does the cruiser not have a limited slip diff on the rear?
You should bring all the legends together and do a comparison video. Pajero, land cruiser, Land Rover and patrol.
My first time seeing the land cruiser being the one having the hardest time offroad
Because it not stock and doesn't have electronics like the stock one for offloading and he should have compared the same year models that he didn't
cuz thats the cheapest 200 series with v6 engine and no electronic 4x4 features
Because he doesnt lock their diff every time, or use low gears.
@@dexterrr9163 yes true!
Cus it is the base model. So no electronics whatsoever.
I wonder if a subaru outback can traverse to the same obstacle? Any thoughts?
Isuzu Trooper I what I want to see. I have a 1995 with 2" lift and KO2´s. I have no rear or front locker, but it would be nice to see what Isuzu´s good suspension travel can do with this terrain. It seems it can flex more that both Patrol an LC.
Nice video. I have a Lada Niva with 3 locking differentials (front, center and rear) it's a beast and costs 20% the price of the Land cruiser :p
I have material with Niva. But it was a long time ago. And there is a standard Lada and not as updated as yours.
Stunt by the Mitsubishi !!! no wonder they have multiple DAKAR Wins, with a 180HP engine Did all of this with ease
Most of the Dakar wins were the Pajera Evo which had around 275 hp, NOT 180 hp.
Mitsubishi always good with 4*4
Montero!!!! Impressive!!!
Honestly you can't go wrong with any of these. They're all great and all have unique advantages over the others. I like Patrol bc it's built like a tank. The engines are doo-doo, but you can swap in OM606 for cheap and you'll have mean off road machine. Toyota is perfectly fine from factory and just needs lift, good tires and accessories to be slaying. Mitsubishi is very nimble and comfortable on the roads, as well as going fast off road.
I have 2 Gen3 Pajeros, and I love them, and I agree with most in this test, but for proper testing I think it would've been best to have the same height (whether stock or "X"-amount of lift), same tires (thread, diameter, pressure), and driver.
Believing is your problem. If you had a little knowledge of 4wd and how those systems behave at different conditions you would see the author's statements are not matching of what is happening in the video. This makes most of this video bogus, but hey you believe in what you want to believe.
@@chopperpl Did you reply to the wrong person? Because you just said what I did in a frustratingly more aggravating way. Just asking, before I call you a muppet.
I would take the Y60 purely based on the SFA suspension, the massively overbuilt drivetrain and rugged good looks, it will outlast the other two in extensive hard offroad conditions. Actually I did, I own a tb42 Y60 and love her to bits
It only will outlast them because it can't do them it seems.
Did you mean those axles would outlast Y60 body? ;)
This is first time ever to hear that someone pronounce PaHero !!!

2:34 Land cruiser had a hard time LOL. Even the patrol. Pajero eats them LOL.
Could you show to us off-road review between Pajero 3 and Pajero 4. With the same engine and off-road options. Pls.
nice ground test, but the main comparisson should be of vehicles of the same era ... the patrol y60, landcruiser 80 and montero from the same period ... then a patrol y61, land cruiser 105, montero 3.2 lwb and a land rover discovery 2 ... if you could get those vehicles together to test would be amazing ... probably the last era of the real 4x4 vehicles. Cheers
I have seen the SUVs battling it out. But they are the old ones. Is it possible to bring in the latest SUVs? Probably 2019.
Yes sure, more videos with latest SUV's on the way
Your new videos got me here and now im asking myself where are the one before this? @suvbattle
It is the old video. I've restarted my chanel so that it is not actual. Perhaps, I would publish earlier videos later but I'm more focused on new ones.
As much as I love the y60 patrol as a twin solid axled rig ( being a solid axle fanboy) I even adorn the pajero np with a strong unibody and all independant suspension setup! The unibody provides lower CG while all independant suspension setup helps im speed offroading ! Plus the all indepentant suspension also allows in providing clearance for allowing large boylders to pass through! While the solid axles in the patrol helps in maintaining tractive force even without using lockers or TC and is helpful in large terrain shifts ! Also for climbing sand dunes in a straight line , solid axles help a lot by not compressing the underbody to the ground and that's why we can find arabs still driving solid axled super safaris ! But that could be done with even all independant suspensions with perfect lift kits and may even prove better while cornering around the dunes ! Both have their own advantages and disadvantages !
I would like to know if the pajero/montero is on a cheaper side to own and maintain? Thank you in advance.:)
Why you didn't include the montero sport, he was already there :(
Do you happened to record or tested the new Kia telluride and Hyundai palisade , fords and pilot ?
I have plans to shoot these cars. Subscribe to not to miss this video.
I'm a Montero gen 2.5 2.8 turbo diesel LWB proud owner 👍🏻😃
So?
I am a very proud owner of a Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero) Limited Gen-3 in Mexico. Like if you own one legend like this.
Were you paid by Mitsubishi?😄 As per usual, great Video

Would be interesting to see the Pajero vs newer SUVs...
What is the electronic imitation mentioned in the video?
Waiting for the other videos, but this was over a year ago :/
they used to be up
here it is kzhead.info/sun/n8icpNeGinagrZE/bejne.html
Diyas made a big amount of videos and still doing more, but most of them are in Russian, you can watch them on his first channel Diyas Valikhan. some of videos have an eng subs
With Pajero gen4, who is the stronger?
I'm not familiar with the exact LandCruiser model you used here, but even going on the gravel/ sand/ off the road without engaging the center diff lock (which I assume this car should have), means the driver knows nothing about offroading and his car! That default mode is only for driving on the asphalt. Engaging the center diff is not like engaging the front or rear diff (which work as extra traction systems), but it is like putting a 2WD in 4WD mode, and necessary for driving on any surface other than asphalt.
Even mitsubishi will be surprised to see this paid promotion at its best
I know, Never in my more than 55 years , heard of Mitsubishi Pajero , better than a land cruiser and a Nissan patrol.
@@totomaxwell8080 Welcome to the real world. Land cruisers and Patrol are great vehicles, but they need some modifications to do its thing as they are conceived as a sort of platform vehicles. The Mitsubishi usually is kinda underrated but is one of the most capable in stock form.
Where u born in the last 10 years? If not,you should get out more often
Y love this channel, u can test a hummer h3 with rear lock pls? I have one :)
This is real comparison and i wish you could do the same with new models
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
Toyota fortuner
5:46 when you see it lol😂😂
This was fun to watch
I can't watch this as background for work - too interesting. And finally - used cars/trucks more available for people... Actually that LC is probably twice the price (or at least value) of the new RAV4 from previous video with all the aftermarket stuff on it.
It is not mentioned if this pajero has unibody construction with independent suspension. If so, an impressive performance by pajero. Another important point, mechanical diff locks working on only two wheels may be inferior than electronic TCS working on four wheels. Good channel and impressive videos.
Well made unibody is better for off road ( stronger in relation to weight, if you want same strength and rigidity with a ladder frame, it will be heavier ). One of the best standard 4x4's, the Jeep XJ Cherokee, also has unibody but with live axles. Independent is indeed, worse wheel travel. But in the other hand, better clearance under the axle, and the wheels can still travel down when the axle has bottomed out unlike with live axle. With a good 4WD system unibody and independent works somewhat fine off road. The big downside is that, it is a lot more difficult to lift and modify for bigger tires.
To all of the mitsubishi montero sports have the electronic imitation locks? How do they work? Cause mine does not climb with a wheel off the ground
As you can see here: kzhead.info/sun/o96qZtKsmKtqp2w/bejne.html Mitsubishi Montero could have electronic imitation lock and could have no electronic imitation. it depends from car specification.
No, Montero Sport does not have the same system the big one has. Some of them are AWD but most of them don’t have the traction Control.
Cool video but who’s Mr Bishi? 😂
Good job
Very nice off-road test. The Mitsubishi has great history but marketing killed them

Old Patrol ist the best Off Road Car for a long Tour with the best Sound on Six Cylindros :-)
Weird, according to this video the pajero is gods gift to offroading, but they are nowhere to be seen when i offroad 🤔
In some markets the Pajero comes with a rear diff-lock as standard.
