2005 MITSUBISHI Shogun reviews

Mitsubishi Shogun equippe lwb 2005

After 75,000 miles and nearly four years towing many of those round the country as a horse transporter this has been 99.9% reliable. Only the alarm fob needed replacing after 3 1/2 years. OK, its a bit wallowy compared to the newest model but no sore back (which I am prone to) on 600mile round trips. Very short 1st gear is so good when towing. Off road my lwb is as good as my old swb Terrano (much more comfy though). Mud, rock crawling etc and ground clearance deceptively good though the tow bar, as with any car can catch at approach and departure points on the steeper inclines. 4x4 system works better than anything I have used off road. Only negative, a bit bland but nothing comes close at this price and pulls 3.3 tonnes. Show me another SUV (Pathfinder, most of the new pick ups, Kia etc) that can legally tow a fully laden Ifor Williams 505 or 510 horse trailer (except disco / defender) at just short of 2.9 tonnes and no road cars. Am about to buy my second Shogun in auto this time.
