The Mitsubishi Shogun Pajero had a long and rather brilliant history before production ended in 2019. As a vehicle however, the model wasn’t exactly known for its versatility, with a very specific type of driver preferring the Shogun and willing to leave many other things at the door as Honest John details:
“If you want an affordable car that’ll take seven people deep into the countryside, possibly pulling a horsebox at the time, and you’re not overly concerned about how comfortably or luxuriously it does the job, then the Shogun could be just the job. If, however, you’re after anything more than that, such as a civilised everyday seven-seater family car with a reasonable amount of comfort, luxury and refinement, then there are numerous other large 4x4s out there that will suit you better…”
While the Shogun may be far from luxurious or comfortable, its reputation as a venerable offroader still shines through. Like many off-road vehicles, perfecting the formula for travelling off the beaten track requires more than just a rugged, capable make and model. It needs the right parts and accessories!
Here are the upgrades to make to your Mitsubishi Shogun Pajero ahead of your next adventure…
Go pro with your suspension
