Hi Gary

I tow with a 2.5 diesel swb Pajero with no problems. I've owned the car for 4 years now and find it to be reliable if a bit thirsty round town. If I just use it in town for short trips and stop/ start motoring I only get about 22mpg but this can improve to about 30mpg on motorways etc at sensible speeds. Towing is in the low 20 mpg area with a t/a caravan but steady as a rock up hill and down dale.

These cars need regular engine oil, fuel and oil filter changes to remain trouble free and without smoke and a good website to look at is the free to join Pajero Owners Club

The club has good advice for prospective Pajero owners and deals comprehensively with maintenance, parts, insurance etc.

Hope this helps

I aggree with everything that Parksy says and have owned and towed with SWB Paj/shoguns for several years. I am getting the same sort of MPG on my petrol 3.5 GDI albeit a more modern car.

My advice would be to get the best available and if buying direct from auction or importer go for the highest Auction category you can afford.

Many thanks to you both will let you know how I get on.
