Our mate Rob from Ultimate Diesel Tuning gives us a run down on the different engines & transmissions available in these 4WDs and tells us what they're best suited to.
To learn more about getting better engine performance from your 4WD - speak to Rob and the team at Ultimate Diesel Tuning: ultimatedieseltuning.com.au/ or call 1800 034 373

Finally a big channel giving the Pajero Sport the love it deserves! Can vouch for mine, 2018 GLS with 120k kms now, haven't had any issues yet! I'd recommend giving it a go off road (you could use mine if you want ;) ), the superselect mitsubishi gearbox is so impressive off road, paired with a stock rear locker in GLS & Exceed trim levels. Its so light that it sits on top of the surface & flexes decently in stock form. Throw some good tires on it and its pretty damn capable. Thanks again for giving it the respect it deserves!

The transmission is also a surprise. Apparently it's only used in 3 vehicles, the Landcruiser 200 series, Lexus 4x4 which is essentially the Landcruiser and the Pajero Sport. Good to know you've got the Landcruiser transmission in a much cheaper package.

Should do the NX Pajero. Sure they stopped production in 2021, but like the Triton they are an absolute steal second hand. My base model 2021 Pajero came with rear diff lock. I’ve added a 2” lift, a bullbar and winch… surprised quite a few people with how far you can push it off-road.

My only advice buying used is to check if it's had it's 60k KM service, as that's a big one $ wise with the valve timing. Put the money you save from badge premiums into your camper or setup!

I have found these comparison video's really interesting, especially the coverage on the known issues and upgrades that should be done (transmission cooler etc). You have included engine tuning in the video but there is no mention on what sort of impact this has on warranty. Considering this is new vehicle comparison and we know manufacturers will use anything to get out of a warranty claim i think it would be good to cover how an engine tune impacts your warranty. Replacing or rebuilding the new diesel engines is very costly.
