Toyota Land Cruiser vs. Mitsubishi Montero 3 vs. Nissan Patrol SUV Comparison 2019

In this video, a series of different obstacles and the legendary Japanese SUVs:

1. Mitsubishi Pajero 3 / Montero
2. Toyota Land Cruiser 200/205
3. Nissan Patrol Y60

Mitsubishi Pajero 3 factory-made, modifications: 2-inch lift & AT tires.

oyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol have more significant changes: front and rear power bumpers, power sills, winches, an elevator and more off-road tires.

It is difficult to call the presented tests real off-road or serious off-road, but this is enough to form an understanding of the difference in the operation of all-wheel drive systems and auxiliary systems of cars.

Tires on cars in the video:
Land Cruiser 205: Goodyear Duratrac 325/65/18
Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero 3: Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 245/75/17
Nissan Patrol Y60: TOYO Open Country M/T 33x12.5 / 15

Being a fan of Monteros/Pajeros/and like these make me happy. That Gen 3 absolutely did amazing!

[ahmadsaadi]

Let me remind you Mitsubishi once upon time was king of rally from Paris to Dakar

[Reddd]

I just bought a Gen 3 Montero, I have yet to take it off road but this video made me extremely happy with my decision

[thealphacook]

Stock Mitsubishi with street tyres beat the crap out of "Legends" with bullbars and mud tyres oh and DIF locks

[recreation_outdoors]

Proud owner of a montero! Totally capable!

[mohmdakel]

I have a Pajero & a Patrol, but honestly, all 3 (Mitsubishi, Toyota & Nissan) are great ...

[jagadeeshbabuk]

I love mitsubishi Pajero... from India.

[minimumeffortenthusiast]

For a stock SUV with a lift kit, the Pajero kicked butt. Regardless of what year each SUV is from. If the montero had proper off-road tires, snorkel and a rear locker it would more than dominate this and other comparisons. We get the 3.8L version here 👀

[styleandgarmentsagazzetofa]

This is what i call real battle, and the results are clear. Thanks Mitsubishi

[amauriam]

Here at Mexico, Monteros have dif lock and fully mechanical 4x4. It is simply great with a 3.8l V6 great mix between luxury and offroading

[MFRiley]

The traction control system in the gen 3 Montero was way ahead of its time. Of course, front and rear lockers are better... But the TC will get the job done, plus you don't have to worry about any buttons or switches. Many gen 3 owners add an Elocker, best of both worlds.

[mohamedgaaloul]

Just for your reference Mitsubishi offers the rear differential lock as an optional equipment on the Pajero starting from 1991 on the second generation up to today on the 4th generation.

[mrgudu]

Wow the results surprised me. Good vid!

I have a gen 2.5 Montero Winter Package (Air Center Diff Locker / Rear Diff Locker) and these vehicles are just tough. Underrated and tough.

Had two FJ40 short wheelbase cruisers, good rubber, open diffs with the heaviest drinker in history. One on LPG/petrol, the other petrol. The LPG averaged 29l per 100 km. Both had excellent departure/ramp over. I had gone to extremes on rocky hills to the point you could stop the car get out and push it downhill. My old man had the first series Pajero LWB high roof, also the first in the country. Had bigger rubber, LSD, lifted via the front torsion bars and a puny 2.6 four (which still outperformed the cruisers 4.2 six) and being in OZ the first Integrated ARB steel Bull Bar. One day I accidentally took the Pajero to the same rocky road (the same road two army guys in a army Defender died attempting), the tractive elements of Ind front suspension was apparent, besides a few more scrapes than the cruisers it bolted up the mountain like it's ass was in fire. Neither Cruiser or bike could make it, very scary backing down a rock hill of over 30% also tried my 600 Yamaha enduro bike Funny the Pajero had the gimmicky degree ball, it was handy. One thing about Pajeros including the last 3.2 unitary is front vision, with cruisers and the last Patrols is big bonnets. Having said that the 3.0 litre Patrol was very impressive. Could not take it to the same track as it had been blocked off for obvious reasons.

[OdaYMataR]

Stunt by the Mitsubishi !!! no wonder they have multiple DAKAR Wins, with a 180HP engine Did all of this with ease

[derciobene]

Pajero always surprises me in these sorts of videos, but honestly the land cruiser has a special place in my heart, even though it is a heavy drinker.
What I like about the pajero though is that it's a cool daily drive and looks cooler than the patrol and the 205

[OnCountryWithMick]

Pajero performs brilliantly as expected. Yes the rear over hang can be a pain and I do need to replace the rear bar on my Gen 3. This is not really a fair comparison though due to modifications and year models. Personally given none of the others had Traction Control (elec imitation) I feel you should of gone with the earlier Gen 3 which had an LSD in the back rather then TC. In saying that though an LSD and a Locker will still give different results but I do think it would of been more of a fair fight. Anyway, Love the Pajero.

If you cross the water slower, the car would not fall apart and the Air intake stayed dry. You would not take the risk of damaging the car somewhere far off .
But hey, very impressive to see the differences. Thanks for this video!

[SanDiegoRider]

I own the same year Mitsubishi Montero and have fitted similar tires and lift to the other competitors here. I can tell you there is very little that it cannot make is through or over. Very capable and comfortable 4x4.
