Offroad the Patrol is way more capable when you doing more extreme stuff.
The patrol can do some quite high lifts and large tyres.
Not to mention you will have a lot of wheel articulation. An enormous aftermarket scene for it.
The Pajero is more of a Tourer like my prado was.
End of the day its up to you. Every car has its limitations/ pros and cons.
My opinion I would go the patrol. Even though it feels not as refined but it feels like that because its a tough 4wd with live axels on a ladder chassis.
if you love the Pajero and really want to make it more capable just do the following.
- 2 inch lift
- Front Diff E locker
- Rear Diff E locker
- Good set of Mud Terrain Tyres
Choose your lines nicely when offroading.
Then you will have the best of both worlds. A modern car like chassis with very capable off road features.
