The better off roader: FM or Everest?

**SiRbossR** · October 11th, 2011 11:59 PM

I was just sipping up some coffee and thought about putting up this thread.

Two days ago, My uncle went for a vacation for a week at some place i don't really care to know. He asked me if he can leave his 2001 Mitsubishi Pajero FieldMaster 4x4 M/T to me. he also asked me to wash, clean, detail and protect it too. i said yes, i pity the old man eh, ayaw mag Park and Fly.

So when i parked it beside my Ranger. Then i thought about the Everest being a SUV like the FM.

Then i wondered, what would happen if you put the 1st gen Everest (a worthy opponent kase non-CRDi) against a Fieldmaster in an Off Road battle (Both having Mud Terrain tires) and a Drag Race both will be all-stock from the factory even the tires.

Which will out perform the other?

PS: let's forget all about the Pajero's reputation about its presence muna.

If I remember right, the turbo 2.8 of the Pajero is better than the Everest's 2.5 turbo. Been a long time since I've driven either. The Pajero should be better off-road and has more aftermarket, but I don't know about stock to stock... stock Everest tires aren't really as aggressive as the tires the Pajero came on, so that test should go to the Pajero, too. Then you consider the switchable suspension (does his have it?) and it should be no contest.

My brother-in-law has a Ranger XLT 4x4 2.5 non-CRDi. We went to a long out-of-town trip and I brought the Pajero gen 2 (whihc is kinda like the FM). Yun nga lang A/T sa akin, M/T sa kanya. Drag race iwan ako but top speed panalo Paj. Cornering the SMH setting held its ground, sarap gamitin!

Off-roading siya medyo mas matagal dun sa muddy and big rocks, yung pajee ko mas madali nakaalis at na-overtake ko pa nga siya. Mas ok tingin ko FM vs. the everest na WLT.
