Pathfinder v Pajero

Do a forum search, quite a lot of info here.

The Paj has more space for dual batteries and a bigger boot but the Pathfinder is lighter on fuel. Both are quite good vehicles.

Regards Derek.

Found a little on Pajeros but almost nothing on the late model diesel Pathy's. Both are rated at around 10 /100 k's but I'd like to kmow how they would rate towing approx 1100 kg. Also would like to know how much more efficient they are as opposed to petrol considering diesel is know dearer than petrol. Is diesel still a better option

try the temporary forum over at www.pcoa.org.au There are a few R51 owners over there and they have given very good feedback on the new pathy. They seem very happy with fuel consumption and there a few trip reports as well.

Would trading one Nissan in on another get you a better deal than trading a Nissan in on a Mitsi?

As others have said try the pcoa.org.au forum.

I am currently getting 8.2 l/100km in my manual R51 TD, Sydney peak hour. The other thing to consider is power and torque. When you compare the engines you will find that the Pathfinder has much power kw and tourqe compared the the Prado.

Do a search for older posts, you should find lots. Both have benefits. I chose the Pathfinder.

Dave,

I went through a similar exercise over the last couple of months - my Disco lease was up and the choices were a Disco 3, Pathfinder or Pajero (all diesel). The D3 was too expensive for the SE (air suspension etc and the base coil model was a 4 month wait), the Pathy was falling apart in the showroom (trim coming off, body filler everywhere) and the Pajero was a well-rounded proposition (5yr warranty, ok engine, well finished, lots of accessories available like snorkels and bash plates, almost half the service costs of the D3) and the price was good. My GLS arrives in around a week. I'll get used to the looks (I hope!).

Terracan CRDi, it's well worth a look.
