History

The first Pajero prototype was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in November of 1973. The Pajero II prototype followed in 1978, five years later. Mitsubishi’s aim was to create more of a recreational vehicle, not just an SUV, as Mitsubishi Motors has been Japan’s biggest four wheel drive manufacturer before World War II. Four-wheel drive, 4WD, or 4x4 ("four by four" is a four-wheeled Vehicle with a drivetrain that allows all four Wheels to World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including

In January 1983, the first Pajero made its debut at the Paris Dakar Rally, taking first place in 1985 at only the third attempt. The Dakar Rally (or simply " The Dakar " formerly known as "The Paris Dakar" or "Paris to Dakar Rally" and now as "The Lisboa Dakar" is To date, the Pajero is the most successful vehicle in the Dakar Rally. This not only gave the Pajero a reputation in the media, but also helped in the sales department.

As successful as the Pajero was, it was prone to rollovers by inexperienced drivers who would often overload their truck and not adjust the tire pressure. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC was killed while driving a Pajero with 7 other passengers. Lisa Nicole Lopes (May 27 1971 – April 25 2002 better known by her Stage name Left Eye, was an American rapper, Singer, TLC was a Grammy Award -winning American Contemporary R&B, hip hop and pop group consisting of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins After several rollovers, she was thrown out the windshield and suffered severe head trauma.

The first generation made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1981, and was launched in May 1982. The Mitsubishi Pajero (pəˈhɛroʊ pɑˈxɛroʊ is a Sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. The is a biennial Auto show held in October-November at the Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan for cars motorcycles and commercial vehicles Initially, it was a three-door, short-wheelbase model available with a metal or canvas top and three different engines options:

It was loaded with features that had previously not been seen on a Japanese four-wheel-drive car: a turbocharged diesel engine, a front double wishbone suspension with torsion bar springs (proven later as an engineering flaw, due to independent axles were very prone to failure during offroad attempts), power steering and suspension seats. A turbocharger, or turbo, is an air Compressor used for forced-induction of an Internal combustion engine. Diesel or Diesel fuel (ˈdiːzəl in general is any Fuel used in Diesel engines The most common is a specific fractional distillate of petroleum Power steering is a system for reducing the Steering effort on vehicles by using an external power source to assist in turning the roadwheels. This made the Pajero an SUV vehicle which integrated all the amenities of a passenger car. A sport utility vehicle ( SUV) is a generic marketing description for a rugged automotive vehicle similar to a Station wagon but built on a light-truck chassis

In January 1983, only a year following its launch, heavily tuned production Pajeros entered the world of motor sport which resembled nothing compared to the production model.

The Pajero, however, failed to appeal to everyone. It some what was lacking in serious off road performance compared to other 4wd's of the time. It was seen to be a commercial vehicle, and since it was only available in a short wheel base form, it didn’t really appeal to those with families. It was also disliked for its common drive line failures and poor reliability.

Hence, in February of 1983, Mitsubishi came out with a long wheel base, five door model, to serve the needs of a larger target market. The long wheel base model was available with a choice of two different engines; a 2. 0-litre turbocharged petrol (badged as "2. 0 Turbo" and "2000 Turbo" in some markets) and a 2. 3 liter turbocharged diesel (badged as 2. 3 TD or 2300 TD).

The long wheelbase model also increased seating capacity to seven, with available third row seats, which could be folded to the sides for additional trunk space or combined with second row seats to form a bed, yet the Pajero failed to gain popularity due to horrible fuel consumption.

The Pajero was further refined in June 1984. The turbo diesel engines now had higher horsepower/torque ratings, whilst the long wheel base models got standard four wheel disc brakes and four way adjustable shock absorbers as standard equipment.

A new flagship model was then introduced in early 1987, with a two-tone paintjob, fifteen inch (38 cm) light alloy wheels, front seat heaters, wool seat covers, genuine leather headrests, a three spoke steering wheel and a sound system with radio/cassette. Also at this time, a version of the Pajero/Montero was marketed to Dodge dealers as the Raider, which ran through 1989.

Finally in 1988, a 3. 0-litre SOHC V6 engine was made available, alongside a 2. 5-litre turbo diesel engine, with the first 4x4 intercooler. This translated to better acceleration in mid to high rev ranges. The long wheel base models got a leaf spring rear suspension, which formed a coil link suspension system for better ride comfort and off-road ability.

The first generation was introduced on May 7, 1982 and manufactured until 1991. Events 558 - In Constantinople, the dome of the Hagia Sophia collapses Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar)

It was available with a 3-door body for a short wheelbase (SWB) or a 5-door body for a long wheelbase (LWB). Engines included a 2. 4 L I4 with 82 kW (110 hp/112 PS), a 3.

Mitsubishi sold over three hundred thousand Pajeros in 1989 and 1990. However, the time for a redesign was long due and 1991 saw the first Generation II Pajero. Just about everything was now new and further enhanced. A new, larger body was available in four different versions; Metal Top, Canvas Top Convertible, Semi High Roof Wagon and High Roof Wagon (long wheel base). The short wheel base models where stretched by 70 millimeters (2. The Millimetre ( American spelling: millimeter, symbol mm) is a unit of Length in the Metric system, equal to 8 inches) and the long wheel base models by 30 millimeters (1. Inches redirects here To see the Les Savy Fav album see Inches. 2 inches). The available engines included a 3. 0 liter 12-valve SOHC with ECI-Multi electronic fuel injection and a 2. 5 liter turbocharged diesel engine with an intercooler.

The second generation also saw the introduction of Super Select 4WD (SS4) [known as ActivTrak 4WD in some markets] and multimode ABS, which were firsts on Japanese four wheel drives. Super Select is the brand name of a Four-wheel drive system produced by Mitsubishi Motors, used worldwide except for North America, where it is known as SS4 was ground-breaking in the sense that it combined the advantages of part time and fulltime four wheel drive with four available options: 2H (high range rear wheel drive), 4H (high range fulltime four wheel drive), 4HLc (high range four wheel drive with locked center differential and 4LLc (low range four wheel drive with locked center differential). Another advantage of this second generation system is that it gave the driver the ability to switch between two wheel drive and fulltime four wheel drive at speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mph), whereas the first generation Pajero had to be stationary to switch from rear wheel drive to four wheel drive (but not from four wheel drive back to rear wheel drive). Multimode ABS, on the other hand, was equally innovative. This meant ABS would be fully functional in all modes of SS4, as braking with a locked center differential requires completely different braking parameters.

In July of 1993, two new power plants were introduced; a 3. 5 liter 24-valve DOHC with ECI-Multi and a 2. 8 liter turbocharged diesel with an intercooler. A new, larger transmission and transfer case was also part of the upgrade.

The Pajero Evolution was introduced in October 1997, which was developed in response to new entry requirements for the Paris – Dakar Rally’s T3 Class. The Pajero Evolution came standard with a 3. 5 liter 24-valve DOHC V6 with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control (MIVEC). A new, dual plenum variable intake helped increase horsepower and a new suspension made the ride even smoother.

In 1998, vehicles destined for General Export and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council Countries) received a facelift. Wider fenders, new headlights, grille, bumper, fog lights and sidesteps were all part of the redesign. Driver and front passenger SRS airbags were made standard on models equipped with the 3. 5 liter DOHC V6 engine, whilst still remaining optional on GLS models with the 3. 0 liter SOHC V6. An upgraded interior wood trim was made available on 3. 0 liter GLS and 3. 5 liter models. A leather-wrapped or leather and wood trim steering wheel was also made available, alongside an upgraded suspension and steering system. The 3. 0 liter 12-valve SOHC engine was now available with a 24-valve configuration. Models without wide fenders remained as base models (GLX), available with a 2. 4 liter 16-valve DOHC engine, producing 147 hp. The 3. 0 liter 12-valve engine was optional on these GLX models, and remained the base engine on the GLS.

The second generation was introduced on January 22, 1991 and manufactured until 1999. Events 565 - Eutychius is deposed as Patriarch of Constantinople by John Scholasticus.

It retained the two body styles, but design was rounder and more city-friendly than the previous bulky model. The 3. 0 L V6 gasoline engine was retained, now available with a 24-valve head, capable of 136 kW (183 hp/185 PS), while the 2. 5 turbodiesel's power was slightly increased to 73 kW (98 hp/99 PS). In 1993, the Pajero was slightly restyled, and larger engines were introduced, a 3. 5 L V6 with 153 kW (205 hp/208 PS) and a 2. 8 L SOHC turbodiesel rated at 92 kW (123 hp/125 PS).

The third generation Pajero hit the Japanese Domestic Market in 1999, whilst it was made available to other markets in late 2000 as a 2001 model. The vehicle was completely redesigned, inside and out and now has a lower, wider stance. A lower center of gravity meant the Pajero had better on-road handling manners, whilst the new body has over three hundred percent more torsional rigidity. The biggest change to bring this about is that the Pajero now utilizes a unibody construction, as opposed to the previous body-on-frame (box-ladder). This also helped give the Pajero a longer suspension stroke. The fuel tank was also strategically placed between the axles for better safety.

The SS4 system was also further refined, as bevel gears were replaced with planetary ones. This meant the front-to-rear torque setting ranged from 33 to 67, with the ability to adjust to 50/50 depending on surface conditions. The system was also made fully electronic, which meant the vehicle didn’t have to be in gear to switch between drive modes. After all the upgrades, the system was renamed to Super Select 4WD II (SS4-II).

Alongside rack and pinion steering (as opposed to the recirculating ball system on previous generations), the Pajero also offered a choice of three transmissions; a five speed manual, a four speed INVECS-II automatic and a five speed INVECS-II tiptronic. A manual transmission (also known as a stick shift or just 'stick' 'straight drive' or standard transmission) is a type of transmission used in An automatic transmission (commonly "AT" or "Auto" is an Automobile Gearbox that can change Gear ratios automatically as the vehicle

An all-new 3. 8 Liter SOHC 24-valve V6 powerplant was also introduced on this generation. This engine utilizes an Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV), to deliver a refined cruising power with power to spare for offroad ventures.

The third generation was introduced on August 2, 1999 and is scheduled to be replaced by the Autumn of 2006, having been restyled in 2003. Events 338 BC - A Macedonian army led by Philip II defeated the combined forces of Athens and Thebes in the Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) This was the most luxurious of the three generations, moving to a more upscale segment to compete against the Land Rover Discovery, but more importantly, to counter its home rival Toyota Land Cruiser's growth. The Discovery is a Four wheel drive on-road and off-road vehicle from the British car maker Land Rover. The Toyota Land Cruiser is a series of Four-wheel drive vehicles produced by the Japanese car maker Toyota Motor Corporation. The 3. 0 L engine's power was decreased to 130 kW (175 hp/177 PS), and the 3. 5 L engine was given gasoline direct injection, increasing power to 162 kW (217 hp/220 PS) in the Japanese market (export versions kept the standard EFI engine, now with 149 kW (200 hp/203 PS). Gasoline direct injection is a latest variant of Fuel injection employed in modern two- and four- stroke Petrol engines The petrol/gasoline The 2. 8 L Diesel was retained only for developing markets, and was replaced by a new 16-valve direct injection engine, with 3. 2 L and 120 kW (161 hp/163 PS).

In the North American market, the 3. 5 L engine was replaced for 2003 by a more powerful 3. 8 L unit, with 160 kW (215 hp/218 PS). This engine was later made available to a few export markets such as South America and Australia, whilst it replaced the GDI V6 in the Japanese lineup in 2005.
