    Hey guys, I bought a pajero in 2008 for off-roading and realized that 3.0L engine on a lwb is too weak for the purpose and ended up driving on tarmac. Can someone tell me if I really can do a little bit of sand driving with whatever little hp and torque that I have on my car.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Satish!

    As a former driver of a 2005 Pajero 3.0 LWB , I can tell you quite confidently that it’s more than capable of tackling anything that it comes across (in the hands of a capable driver), and will keep up with all the big boys.

    It’s a very good car to learn in, and as and when you gain experience, you’ll figure out the one universal offroading truth – IT”S NOT THE CAR, IT”S THE DRIVER!

    😀 😀 😀

    I agree 100% with Rakesh …

    However it is worthwhile mentioning that the following limitations of your Pajero :-

    1. Care should be taken during sidesloping … the smaller engine does not provide sufficient power to maintain momentum during extended slidesloping .
    2. Limited Ground clearance … extra care should be taken during ascends and descents to prevent cosmetic damage to the front of vehicle (ie. bumpers,etc) … this is a problem for all vehicles during offroading but the lower ground clearance of the Pajero makes it more susceptible to damage than other makes/models.
    3. Rear Bumper … the ‘notorious’ rear bumper acts as a sand scoop and is one of the first body parts to be damaged while offroading … again extra care required during ascends and descents.
