Hi, anybody got any opinions on the newer shape shogun 3.2DiD manual or tiptronic? reliability,economy,towing ability etc. thanks in advance.

Read recently that Mitsubishi are losing money at a rapid rate of knots and that Daimler/Chrysler (the principle share holder) are refusing to bail them out, so personally would stay well clear and buy a Toyota.

I had 3 days use of a manual lwb one ,liked it a lot ,comfortable easy driving ,fairy responsive to the loud pedal ,towing capacity is only 3.3tons on lwb or 2.8 on swb so bought disco .the only other negative thing I would say about them is the very high service costs.

what were you intending to tow that was more than 3.3ton?

how big a list would you like.2 x 3.5 ton ifor williams trailers often fully laden. 2.8 ton for the swb certainly no match for defender at 3.5 ton towing (also looked at change here defender won).just not worth the hassle if stopped, Localy the water board are charged with 2.2 tons on a trailer behind a transit with towing capacity of 2.3 tons but the trailer was only plated for 2.0 tons. as the trailer is underweight for the plating requirements they could simply have taken plate of to comply with the law .they now carry fuel and buckets in the transit. anywaythe point was that with several vehicles of this type it helps if they all have the same abilities .I still liked the shogun though
