2000 Mitsubishi Pajero XLS review from North America
"A lot of truck for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have experienced is some of the rubber shrouding protecting the engine in both front wheel wells broke loose and flapped in the breeze at highway speeds. The dealer replaced them free after about 15,000 miles.
Only negative I can say is slightly underpowered. I wish I would have chosen the Limited model with the 3.5 liter V-6.
General comments?
I have not experienced any of the problems many others claim to have. I have had zero brake problems, I change my own pads. So far I have changed the front twice and rear once (62,000 miles).
I replaced the standard air cleaner for an HKS Mega Flow to increase power and fuel efficiency.
My wife and I love the truck and are considering another one.
