Mitsubishi Pajero, Montero and Shogun

More than 3.3 million in thirty-nine years: the Pajero of May 1982, the Super Select second generation of 1991, the integrated-frame monocoque of 1999 and the fourth generation that ran to March 2021 — sold as the Montero and Shogun, licensed to Hyundai as the Galloper, and the winner of twelve Dakar rallies including seven in a row; with the Triton-based Pajero Sport since 1996.

The Pajero arrived as the recreational 4x4 market formed and defined it: torsion-bar front suspension and free-wheeling hubs in 1982, Super Select 4WD and Multi-Mode ABS in 1991 — both firsts for a Japanese four-wheel drive — and a monocoque with an integrated ladder frame, low range and centre-differential lock in 1999.

The Dakar record built the reputation: twelve overall wins from 1985 to 2007, more than any other manufacturer. The Pajero ended in March 2021; the Pajero Sport, built in Thailand on the Triton’s frame, carries the line on.
