Unfortunately, the advantage ends there. Though the Pajero was once the default choice of the aristocratic and the rich, with the choices available out there, it’s suddenly obvious that the Mitsubishi lacks any sort of definitive character to make it the number one pick for a full-sized SUV. Like a Swiss Army Knife, the Pajero can do just about everything: haul stuff, tow cargo, ferry people and could even be used for that daily Makati commute. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do any of those with exceptional results. There's no question that the Pajero is the jack-of-all-trades, but the Nissan Patrol looks like it can't be stopped even by the likes of Saddam Hussein, while the Trooper carries a torquey 3.0-liter engine and a lovely kit. Then there’s the American Ford Expedition, which has a thirsty gasoline V8 engine, but also extensive equipment and the most comfortable interior. In the end, there’s nothing genuinely wrong with the Mitsubishi Pajero Field Master. Despite its prehistoric age and relatively unrefined engine, it’s one tough, rugged and durable machine. However, much like having a screw driver in your drawer and a multi-purpose knife in your pocket, if you need to tighten anything, it's always more logical to reach for the real screw driver instead.
