Good News: The Pajero chosen over the Prado
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 9:56 pm
After much deliberation, I decided and bought the Pajero. 
Seriously considered the Prado, but . . . too much money, too much electronics.
Discovery - Didn't fancy being towed by a Pajero to get the air suspension / electronics / etc fixed. 
Jeep Grand Cherokee - Feared the nearest dealer to repair from Etosha may by New York. 
So I've joined the Mitsubishi gang, and I hope it will be a long and thrilling ride. I have two boys (3 1/2 and 18m) who I'm sure will convince mom that camping in the bush is a great holiday.
