different generations of Pajeros?

**Bud_wiser** · November 18th, 2004 02:08 AM

I keep on seeing references here about different "generations" of pajeros. Can you provide a link or more info on how to differentiate between the different generations and what they look like? I have a general idea of that Pajero models were sold here in the Philippines but I don't know how they are categorized in generations?

also, is this generational classifications used on this site only or is it common to all Pajero sites on the net?

here's a brief history of the pajero...

though in between the 1,2,3 generations, there are numerous facelifts and engine choices...

Gen IV

hope the links worked

classification by Gen maybe unique only to Phil. auto sites

most Aussie and UK sites i've visited don't use Gen classification

although i've read them classify their Paj's by NA and NJ which I've yet to decipher

Yung classification ng pajero gen ang una kong natutuhan dito sa site na ito and this is body type dependent, eto ang pagkakaintindi ko.
Gen 1 - Box type tulad ng kay rlp at 1982 ni mazda-mazda.
Gen 2 - Tonka body ang term ng mga moderator dito-- same dun sa gen 11 ni rlp
Gen 2.5 - Bilstein (not sure of spelling) body same dun sa gen III ni RLP.
Gen 3 - Bulldog look - yun yun gen IV ni RLP at 1999 version ni Mazdamazda.

But I also found a more authoritative site to present the classification:
Prototype - 1973 and basically look like a "jeep"
1st Gen 1985 - they call it "Big Daddy"
2nd Gen - V -Type long (Tonka)and Short (Paj Jr)-
3rd Gen - 1999 New Type Pajero Long and Short
Current Pajero - 3.8L V6 Engine.

Here's the link and I like this site:

thanks guys! at last I can understand how you guys describe the different models.

pahabol.. I've seen some Gen 1 models here with flat roofs instead of the domed roof which is more common. I know that some of the flat roof ones are monteros (6 cylinder gas, right?) but some have pajero badges and are obviously diesel. Where these flat roof models sold here? aside from the body differences, what makes the domes roof model different from the flat roof?

gen2 is commonly called 'tonka'

gen2.5 is commonly called the 'blister-fender' pajero

gen3 is commonly called 'mahal' hehe

gen 2.5 is also known as "***y body"

safe to say flat roof models were gray/parallel imports

I've seen some U.S. monteros/raiders flat roofs here they still look like they rolled out of the car lot

engine displacements and type were the main diff:

from 2300ltr-2600 ltr and
petrol and diesel models
basically from what i've read
