Are pajeros good 4X4?
Whilst most have never seen a dirt road in their life, the NM and NP Pajero can make for a very good touring 4X4.

Who are the competitors of the Toyota Pajero Field Master?
In terms of size, there are three major Japanese competitors for the Pajero Field Master: the Isuzu Trooper, Nissan Patrol and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. With the Prado having a price tag of 2,350,000 pesos it’s automatically eliminated. Compared to the other two, the Pajero does have value for money on its side.
What’s the difference between the Nissan Patrol and the Nissan Pajero?
There’s no question that the Pajero is the jack-of-all-trades, but the Nissan Patrol looks like it can’t be stopped even by the likes of Saddam Hussein, while the Trooper carries a torquey 3.0-liter engine and a lovely kit.
Why does the Pajero have such a bad ride and handling?
The body-on-frame construction of the Pajero gives it robust off-road capability as well as ruggedness and durability; however, it is because of this very same set-up that the ride and handling suffers. Like any other truck-based SUV, the Field Master suffers heavily from excessive body roll even on the gentlest of corners.
What is the history of the Mitsubishi Pajero?
The Pajero variant from 1993-1998 was called the “Intercooler” but Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation upgraded the engine, interior bits and even gave some muscle to the Pajero in 1999, and as a result, it was called the “Field Master”. Despite the arrival of the third generation model in late 2003, this was made available until 2008.
