I struggled to decide if I should replace my 4.0L Hilux Auto D/C 4x4 with the same, a Prado, a Fortuner or a Pajero. Well eventually I settled for a demo Pajero 140kW new spec GLX LWB. I had my first trip to Moz, 12 hours trip time (1050km) and enjoyed it thoroughly. Avg speed in Moz side was 115km/h and I got around 8.8 km/l. It moved up to 9km/l in SA (120km/h avg moving time). So in short, I was not tired, and enjoyed the 140 kW and 441NM Torque, also excellent 4x4 abilities.

Welcome Dirk, and congratulations with your fine vehicle!

I see you "carried the badge" with 2 prior colts.

You can now update your profile with your Pajero!

Enjoy the club!

No, Why would one gym if you can drive anywhere with a Pajero? Thats a bit of a low blow for a new member, but ok, I get the vibe.... sies man!!
