If you look what is the main suv's being driven. They are Toyota land cruiser then the nissan patrol, then the pajero. Personally the pajero is a great vehicle. It is comfy, has nice features like the ice cooler. We have had ours off road and she is really capable. the stonger engine would be better though. We have the 3 liter and would rather go for the 3.8. If you look in the classifieds, they seem to hold their value as well. Ours came with a maintenance plan and so far it has been well looked after, although she has to be in over night once or twice.
