Mitsubishi Cars, Trucks & SUVs

Mitsubishi
The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer that belongs to the Mitsubishi Group of companies.

The automotive side of Mitsubishi started with the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in 1917. The company eventually merged with the Mitsubishi Aircraft Co. in 1934 to create Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. This company produced vehicles for military use during World War II as well as railroad cars, buses, cargo vehicles, and scooters. Due to a booming Japanese economy in the 1960s, the company produced and sold the Mitsubishi 500 as its first passenger model for the mass market. After different makes and models were developed over the next several years, a single operation was created to focus on the automotive industry, resulting in the founding of Mitsubishi Motors in 1970.

Mitsubishi spent many years partnering with companies for American exports, most famously in its venture with Chrysler resulting in Diamond-Star Motors. Currently, Mitsubishi is a member of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance of French and Japanese manufacturers and is partially owned by Nissan.

What’s the Worst Year for the Mitsubishi Montero?

If you prefer your off-road classic SUVs with a touch more modernity, it’s tough to get more capable than a Mitsubishi Montero (aka Pajero). These 90s Mitsubishi SUVs are rising in popularity, and if you can’t find one in the US, there are a bunch waiting to be imported at reasonable prices. Although the homologation …

Do #Vanlife Right With a Japanese Van

Overlanding usually features trucks and SUVs, prepped for off-roading and loaded with roof tents or bed campers. Or, if you’re really going off-grid, a specially-prepped Unimog. Equally as popular, though, is “van life”, which sometimes gets reduced—courtesy of Instagram—to be just about decorating an old VW van and sticking to “paved roads and parking lots,” …

Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution: A Mitsubishi Rally SUV You Can Get Soon

When Mitsubishi Made a Classic Jeep

Mitsubishi has made its fair share of icons, especially when it comes to SUVs. The Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero has been a seasoned rally competitor, and it’s an affordable off-roader, too. But there’s one classic SUV that Mitsubishi made that’s little-known in the US. Which is a little surprising, considering it’s based on the Wrangler’s descendant. Before …

It may seem a bit strange to someone who grew up in the era, but Mitsubishi’s 90s SUVs like the Montero have become amazingly popular.

Pickups Are Too Expensive: Bring Back Mini-Trucks

Yes, it’s true. Pickup trucks are getting way too expensive. Once they reached $50-grand it was time to stop and reflect. Trucks, even loaded trucks, were never as expensive as they’ve gotten to be today. It’s time to bring back an artificial inflation fighter; the mini-truck. Converting $50,000 to 1970 comes out to almost $8,000. …
