Thanks,
Yeah I reckon the drone give the best
views although there are many
places we travel where we can't use it. We make the most of it when we can.
I had the same question about the DMax on my channel so forgive for copying & pasting the reply;
I do have a soft spot for the Pajero. It was a great tow vehicle & comfortable daily drive. Was also pretty good off road & in sand.
The DMax had a lot of convincing to do when we first got it & I have to say, after a few trips now, I love it!
I reckon it tows better & rides & performs better off road than the Paj. Maybe it's because the torque comes in earlier although they are similar size engines. It doesn't seem to work as hard & is relaxed doing most things.
I do miss the comfort & bells & whistles of the Pajero. The DMax is a little basic but after a few trips I'm don't really mind that. I keep saying, "Geez this thing does everything
well !"
I like the solid rear axle too, was never a great fan of the 4 wheel independent
suspension of the Paj. Especially for towing.
The Pajero had limits in weights that made it complicated packing for our trips & towing the van. We managed to keep within them but it was always a battle.
The DMax on the other hand has a GVM Upgrade & we easily fit everything we need & tow the van (2600kg at max) with no weight problems. Not to mention more space.
This has allowed a few extras like the travel buddy oven & a solar setup for out aux battery system. As
well as the fridge , 45 lts of water, long range fuel tank & other gear we have to carry to be self sufficient.
Over all it's a great replacement & fixed a few of the weight issues we had with the Pajero
Cheers
