The main requirements that pickup drivers make to their cars are reliability, efficiency, unpretentiousness in operation and, of course, a spacious body with a large load capacity. Was it possible to meet these requirements of the Mitsubishi L200? Owner reviews say that he could. Let's try to make sure of this by examining its characteristics.
This model appeared in 2007, and I must say, it shows itself only from the best side. Rally raid fans are already starting to get used to the Mitsubishi logo. Previously, the entire filling of the company was hidden under the body of Pajero, now the company is represented by the Mitsubishi L200. Reviews about this castling are only positive. After all, on the highway, he did not become worse, but vice versa. Yes, and many people like the original appearance more.
The owner’s pickup truck will not make you worry, because its basis is a powerful modernized spar frame. This allowed to increase the carrying capacity by 1000 kg. Yes, a lot. Now in the trailer you can carry 2700 kg. The car has an independent front suspension. Previously used torsion bars are history, now the manufacturer uses coil springs.
The developers decided that different customers would like different schemes. The first scheme is Easy Select. It was used on cars of the previous family. It must be connected with poor grip. Possible and the car in low gear. Such a transmission is relatively cheap and simple, which does not at all worsen its terrain performance. For those who still travel most of the time on hard roads, the Super Select transmission is offered. Its main distinguishing feature is the center differential, which is blocked by an integrated clutch that allows you to move on all-wheel drive on hard surfaces on the Mitsubishi L200. Reviews on both schemes are good, there is not much difference in them.
With regards to the engine, here it is turbodiesel, with a volume of 2.5 liters with 4 cylinders. Such a motor is capable of leaving 136 “horses” behind it at 4 thousand revolutions per minute. In this case, the torque reaches 314 Nm. At the buyer's choice are offered a 4-speed automatic and classic 5-speed manual. The steering is no different from the passenger using a conventional rack and pinion mechanism. The disc mechanism acts as brakes at the front, and the drum mechanism at the rear . Installation of other assistants is possible only for a fee, and, frankly, rather big. The only system that can be ordered when choosing an all-wheel drive is ABS with an EBD force distribution system on the Mitsubishi L200. Reviews say that this is enough to feel confident behind the wheel of a car.
At the same time, those who want to buy a car in the Super Select configuration can afford the ABS system, which will be combined with the M-ASTC stabilization system.
As for the interior, there are no surprises.
Anyone who has previously had SUVs will not have difficulty landing in it. But the rest will be very unusual to sit behind the wheel of such a tall car.
The steering column does not have any special adjustments, maybe because the driver has so much space to conveniently adjust his seat and adjust to the
Mitsubishi L200 steering wheel
. Reviews about this item are at least good. Everything else in the cabin is made in the classic style for this brand, everything is very clear and clear. You feel quite comfortable inside this car because it is a Mitsubishi L200. You can list its characteristics for a long time, analyzing all the details, but you can really assess the level of a car while sitting at the wheel and using it for its intended purpose. You may not even be on the best track, which will absolutely convince you of its quality.
