The Mitsubishi Shogun is a dying breed. It is a proper off-roader rather than a watered down SUV like so many seen on the school run. Launched in 1983, it has become very popular over the years gaining a loyal fanbase. Is it any good? Should you buy one? Let's find out.

  • An Aussie here - After finally giving up on Landrovers, I decided to go for a made in Japan 4x4 and it was the 3.2L turbo diesel that took the biscuit. It needed to be tough enough to cope with mud, dust, water crossings and pulling a heavy camper trailer around Oz. The Pajero is an incredibly reliable, strong, comfortable and fuel efficient form of transport. 10 years later and I'm still singing the praises of the Pajero. I agree whole heartedly with your advise to Mitsubishi Japan about bringing out a new model with squarer looks, essentially the old Defender but with comfort and reliability would do me just fine. With Pajero no longer being made, Mitsubishi currently only offer the Pajero Sport in this class, which is essentially just a Triton ute with a wagon body stuck on it. The Sport has far less power, less comfort and IMHO far less capability. So come on Mitsubishi listen to good advice when you hear it and get that boxy new Pajero produced a.s.a.p.

Grab one while you can as they are no longer available from new. And this is going to be one of those vehicles that “I wish I’d bought one “ you will regret not buying when you had the chance. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Some lessons learnt after over a year of ownership of a 2014 lwb 3.2 model: Rust protection isn't what it should be, so especially if you live in a country where they use salt on winter roads, beware. Details like the spare wheel carrier seem to lack any rust protection what so ever. Brake calipers can sieze from corrosion. Inside the fuel door there is a sticker that says DIESEL EN590. This is no joke! Use real diesel fuel only! Biodiesel that doesn't meet the EN590 standard can dissolve the liner inside the fuel tank which turns into a sticky goo that clogs up the fuel filters. The so called "resistor mod" for the EGR system works beautifully. It disables the EGR system without any actual modification apart from splicing a few cents worth of resistor into a cable under the bonnet which fools the ecu into never opening the egr-valve while driving. Stops soot an oil blocking the intake over time. Later models have a stereo/dvd/nav head unit with bluetooth compatibility, but it's pretty crude and unintuitive to use. Sadly not easy to replace if the car is also fitted with the Rockford Fosgate sound system. Sound is pretty decent, although the interior plastics around the subwoofer can rattle pretty badly. Air conditioning can malfunction, not only from the compressor failing, but under the car behind the right rear wheel is a separate blower and condensor unit for the rear AC. It's mounted in a vulnerable spot and it can start leaking due to corrosion as well. Electronics are a bit outdated, there is no warning system for things like broken light bulbs or low wiper fluid for instance. Auto transmission ecu is supposedly adaptive to your driving style but the whole gearbox feels rather sluggish compared to some modern ones. Should be reliable though, if serviced. The stability and traction control system also feels pretty slow and primitive. There is a button do turn it off, but it's still on anyway so no powerslides are possible on icy roads. Or rather, you can begin a slide and it is then hindered by the system in a very abrupt and unrefined way. On the whole is still think it's not a bad 4x4 car, and if you want a true offroader that will still be comfortable on a motorway journey there are not many alternatives to the Pajero/Shogun. It will be a lot cheaper to buy than a Land Cruiser and a lot cheaper to run than a Range Rover.

  • I had a long wheelbase Pajero as 'my' car and my partner of the time had the new family car. I loved it, but I’m the generation that loves lots of chrome. It came from Japan and it took me several motorway trips to blow out all the crap that had built up with the 50mph speed limit over there. It felt like I was driving the living room sofa, and the biggest repair was the wiring for the back seat. I have to say it was my favourite used car after my VX490, in fact it I’d put it in my top 6 of all my cars.

    • Matt Harding I used only Shoguns from 2004 to 2018. Was a massive fan, although much preferred the petrol engine version which they simply stopped making. Diesel far too clattering and shaky round town. Although fine on motorway. My main car now is an RS4. Completely different kettle of fish of course. But other car is a Q7 50 S-line. It is on a completely different level to Shogun in every way. Quiet, refined and stylish. Fantastic virtual cockpit display. So as I say, I was a massive fan - but there are very much better vehicles out there.

Everything worked on mine with no bodge repairs, bodywork was solid and like a tin of 'Ronseal' it "did exactly what it said on the tin" sheer practicality forced the sale (have two elderly parents and acess was an issue) would definitely recommend buying one but don't buy the first one you see, there are plenty out there and, as you mentioned buy the best you can afford not the cheapest 👍👍

  • I had my MK3 for 10 years and it was superb, not flash or fancy, but it always started first time every time, the only problems in 10 years were a battery which lasted for nearly 15 years (original battery) and a replacement exhaust, and it was fully rustproofed using cavity wax on every cavity, and underbody wax on all external underbody panels. Replace the ATF with the correct Dia Queen SP 3 and NOT Dexron or other cheaper alternatives. They work well with Cooper tyres and parts are readily and cheaply available if you know where to shop, so self servicing is easy for the DIY owner, so why did mine go? because some moron in a van drove into it and it was written off. It towed up to 8 tonne tractors off road, spent about a third of its life off road, and never missed a beat. What do I have now? a MK4.

  • The 4M41 3.2 turbo diesel is a great motor! 441nm torque at under 2000 rpm right where you need it for 4x4 work and coupled with the Aisin tiptronic " Superselect" transmission it's fantastic both on and off the bitumen. The overall design is extremely practical - I've not found a better design in 40 years. I tow a heavy offroad camper trailer on very soft sand and this Pajero handles it easily, unhook the trailer and it's just plain fun even on the rough stuff here in Australia. The beauty is that it's onroad manners are also great, driving and handling like a car and I find the ride quality excellent especially for touring long distances in our very hot summers - never a single issue with the airconditioning, always ice cold, in fact it's the first vehicle I've owned that is a little bit too cold! I raise the thermo setting sometimes. Mine has close to 200,000 kilometres on the clock and feels/drives the same as when new and I believe the motor/drivetrain will last at least 400-500,000 kilometres. I get between 35 and 45 thousand kilometres out of a set of Yokohama Geolander tyres. Out of interest the word Pajero was chosen for it's real meaning - an Argentinian wild cat found only in the most inaccessible mountainous regions. It always makes me laugh how flustered drivers of other brands get when the Paris-Dakar statistics get quoted, but these models have withstood the test of time and gained a lot of respect the last few years especially for very good reason. It's a shame Mitsubishi are beginning to wind down production of this venerable all rounder. Note: Mitsubishi technical says the transmission is sealed for life but a lot of guys here towing heavy caravans etc do get the trans flushed/serviced - the general wisdom is to use the genuine Mitsubishi "Diaqueen" fluid only which is very expensive.

    • Yea I'am a Mitsubishi technician/mechanic since 20yrs and I have a 2010 Pajero with the 3.2 and Aisin aut. It Will pass 400.000km next month, I'am the second owner and have done all of the work on it since Day one. The only thing done with the engine is service, I have changed oil in the transmission once when it passed 300.000km just because I felt that with those miles you'r better safe than sorry.. And because I drive around alot with trailer. There is not One part of the suspension or the steering that is changed since new, I'am however planning to give it a update in the suspension with some Ironman lift kit or something like that, it starts to give in for the gravity... 😁. But it never hits the bottom of the suspension yet so I'am quite impressed! And I'am driving alot of bad roads.. and fast.. The only downpart I feal with it is the road noise, I'am thinking of take the interiour out and put some noise damping in, i've seen a KZhead video from russia when they did that. Overall I have to say that the Pajero/Montero is the most impressive car I've been working with and I believe I would say that even if I didn't worked with Mitsubishi. They are built like a TANk and the 4wd in combo with the Long suspension travel is fantastic! Cheers from Northern Sweden 🍻

Cars just done 26000 miles, front tires were shot so replaced all 4 with BF goodrich all terrains ,bit more road noise but I'm off road a lot of the time round the estate and these tires are top notch .Had a Pathfinder before and it spent most of its time with electrical problems back at Nissan ,got rid before warranty ran out ,the Pathfinder just felt like an estate car ,the Shogun is a real acricultural 4x4 and feels purposeful .Good and fair review .

  • Ive own my 2008 shogun/paj since 2014. Dash rattles crazy loud!, prone to problems with head gasket if you skip diesel fuel filter replacement. Drove it in 4x4 high (without center differential locked "orange light") for the las couple of years, it makes it safer and corners better.. Take into consideration I live in rural Costa Rica area where theres no paved roads. It starts and goes every time. 4.5star value

  • I started driving one the very first generation back in 1991. Then came the next 2.8L turbo second generation, love it so much! After that I traded in for a V75, the 3rd generation which is a 3.5L GDI V6 engine. Had a terrible accident on road by I was fine and able to walk away from it unharmed. Now I own and drive the fourth generation which is this V98 model. Imported from Japan 2014 and put on over 200,000km on it! Only usual wear and tear. Love all the Pajero and I will keep this for very very long time. Thanks for your video and this is one of the most practical wagon you can own

  • Excellent car, huge exiting and entering of the vehicle without knocking yourself out unlike RR, off road ability is equal to any higher priced 4x4 if not better, only issue is ground clearance, especially in stock form compared to the LC Prado/Colorado, suspension is torsion which is good. The engines are good, but are known for H/Gaskets... (V6 gas) this is a tool to own..

  • I’ve had 6 Shoguns from the Mk 1 to the current one. All short wheelbase. I’ve had to replace 2 dual mass flywheels so had bills of nearly £2000.00. So this last one is an automatic and it is hoped will bring me no more transmission issues. I had to get rid of one on the quick because of rust and I had to replace a rusty fuel tank. This last one had issues with the brake pressure sensor that was replaced under warranty ( a bill of nearly £3000.00.). So not cheap cars if they go wrong but I love them and will look to replace my one with a last in the line model in a couple or so years time.

  • Good honest review I personally have so much respect for the Shogun Bought myself a new Lwb automatic in 2014, at age 21. I wanted nothing else especially after having a used 2008 model previously Once the engine was run in, I changed the exhaust, built a custom downpipe from the Turbo and got it ECUTEK remapped. Currently on BP ultimate diesel it's kicking out atleast 255hp And 0 - 60 in 7.8 with oversized 285/50R20 Cooper Zeon's Towing is effortless, just need to make sure the transmission has locked up or tow in 4th to reduce excessive build-up of heat Hardly use it these days but when I need to tow anything it's a joy. And been 100% reliable

For its age its okay and it does what we need it to do. Ours has a 3L V6 which is a little thirsty but its nice and smooth!! I'd buy another in a heartbeat...loved the review...take care from Jamaica!!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
