Hi all
My brother is considering buying one of these as he has a bad back and needs truck style seating as opposed to car seating. Has anyone got any
feedback on the delica good or bad to help with this decision?
Any comments appreciated.

You either love them or hate them. :o)
They are a people mover body on a Gen II (1990 to 1999) pajero come triton chassis and mechanicals.
There is a club
forum some where, if you do a google, you might find it.
Any Delica is fully imported, which you most probably have worked out, since they were not sold in Oz by Mitsubishi. So some body parts are a bit hard to source. Most mechanicals (but not all) you could get from a pajero or triton. Also
check all paper work \to make sure it is compliant with Oz regulations.

Nephew has one to transport his 4 now 20 something kids around.
The kids are about 120 to 140 KGs, & they reckon the 4 large
arm chair seats are great. Not sure the drivers
seat is of same
size or quality but a top vehicle for the larger bodied passenger.

These were imported into NZ as second hand from Japan but didnt sell at all
well.
Mitsubishi make good big diesels but terrible small ones.
Engine unreliability and the tendency to fall over sideways due to the rather narrow track and the height of the vehicle put most off them.
Not saying they are no good Just passing on what I observed.
