Mitsubishi Pajero

The 2021 Mitsubishi Pajero is rated to tow up to 3,000 kg with a braked trailer (every trim). We don’t have its ground clearance or approach angle from Mitsubishi’s documents yet. That is Australian figures, from Mitsubishi’s Australian documents: ratings for other markets, the US among them, can differ.

03 / Class

Where it stands

The Pajero’s best numbers against every other SUV we track that publishes them.

Not compared: ground clearance, approach angle, breakover angle, departure angle, payload. We don’t have those numbers for the Mitsubishi Pajero from the maker’s documents.

Each number is the best configuration of the newest model year we have that publishes it (at most two years back), factory packages included and fleet-only configurations left out, against the same for every other vehicle in its class that publishes it. Tow and payload ratings are compared within one market, and pickups within their size when five or more share it.

2021 Mitsubishi Pajero

One configuration per trim, named under each heading, with its numbers as Mitsubishi prints them. “Up to” is a ceiling printed over several configurations (the notes say whose), “from” the lowest figure, and a range is printed across that configuration’s grades. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label.

Australian figures: these come from Mitsubishi’s Australian documents. Ratings in other markets, the US among them, can differ.

Stock figures: NX Pajero brochure, September 2015 (specifications pages 9 and 12). Solid outline = from the maker; dashed = our estimate, ± how far off it may be. Overhangs are estimated (the maker doesn’t publish them), so changed angles carry a range.

Part masses are typical, not yours. This is an estimate, not a weighbridge: weigh your rig.
