How better is the GEN II.5 over the GEN II Pajero?[EDIT: Wildcard added]

[KCboy]

otep,
still contemplating on changing ba?

[OTEP]

Nothing final yet pa naman. But here are some advantages of the GEN II from my POV:
*Removable stepboards and flexible mudguards. I literally drove down a set of steep concrete stairs on my Pajero without hitting anything. I was just to lazy to back up (besides, rear vision is horrible).
*The flares and cladding really do their job of protecting the bodywork. Battle tested ko na.
*Suspension seats!
*Forward facing third-row with seatbelts.

The main factors going for the II.5 would be the better (but still simple and robust) engine and the automatic tranny (my left foot will thank me for it). And the fact that it will be three years newer than my present rig.

Oh well bahala na si Batman. hehehe.

gen 2.5 for me!! for the simple reason that the gen 2 looks a trifle geriatric hehehe.

hey, i care at least a little about those things :D

[nugundam93]

pero pwede rin naman tanggalin stepboard nung gen 2.5 and the "mudguards" diba? :D

otep, with a rig like yours, i imagine that you would drive up or down concrete stairs if you want to. hehehehe.

Sarap i-drive ang gen 2,5 lalo na kung AT. Ask happiman, I drove his from sagada to manila, no brainer when overtaking, just mash the gas pedal and away it goes. Tahimik ang interior. Tess was asleep the whole time. eto lang po ang experience ko sa gen 2.5. BTW, adjustable yun suspension niya. plus may digital tire pressure gauge siya.

1 Gen 2.5 please.

The bigger engine definitely gives the advantage.

Madali lang yan... tawag tayo ng mga Patrol boys and girls at paligawin natin si Doc. I drove a spanking new 2005 GU 4x4 m/t last week and boy i hate going back to my pick-up afterwards.
