I also have it on very good authority that very little goes wrong with them if properly maintained. I agree that they are noisy compared to Toyota or Discos but also a lot cheaper. They are not as good off road as say a Wrangler but in standard trim they go most places you would want to pull a ct.
Yes I agree the Pajero is a proven 4x4, I was highlighting that it's not going to gain Scraps any off-road prowess or robustness over the WK2 as a Vic high country crawler and a backwards step re on road dynamics, power and bells & whistles.
