Comparing Mitsubishis – off road 4 WD

There’s nothing more exciting than an off road adventure. You pack your family and friends into the back of the car along with a few beers and the fishing rods. The world is your oyster and no off road challenge is too great. But when it comes to buying the perfect 4WD car – how do the Pajero and Triton compare?

Mitsubishi Pajero

This capable four wheel drive wagon has been a favorite for many years. It has a number of luxury features for added off road comfort. The cloth-and-leather seating, powered front seats and 12 speaker audio system means you don’t have to rough it when you’re off road. And to satisfy the practical side of you, this luxury off road also comes with fold-away third-row seats, and roof rails for extra space when needed. It also boasts an impressive 2.5L engine and independent suspension that will deliver a powerful yet smooth off road driving experience.

Safety features include a reversing camera, six airbags, stability control and rear parking sensors.  The economy rating is 9.0L per 100 kilometers so you can manage plenty of urban and country driving on one tank. But compared with smaller, agile cars the Pajero is too cumbersome for urban transport. The Mitsubishi Pajero is perfect for the larger family, who like to travel off road in comfort.

Triton  4×4

This 4 cyclinder, 2.5L engine 4WD is one of the best four wheel drive utes money can buy. With stability control and side curtain airbags, it’s also one of the safest utes on the market. The dual cabin fits five so it’s suitable for a small family going off road. With 17-inch alloys, Bluetooth, cruise control, fog lights and power windows the Triton 4×4 is not as luxurious as the Pajero for on road driving. But what it lacks in comfort it more than makes up for in durability. It has a superior 3000kg towing capacity which makes the ideal machine for towing large boats and off-road caravans.

But the real feature of this two ton tradie is its huge tray space. With 938kg capacity the tray comes fitted with an attractive black plastic tub liner for added protection. With its flexible utility, the Mitsubishi Triton is perfect for the adventurous handy man or small family looking for a weekend camping vehicle.
