I’ve got this soft spot when it comes to Mitsubishi off-roaders. Call them crude, but there’s something—either with their stance or look that simply makes them ruggedly beautiful. This is especially true with the likes of the first L200 and Pajero that became Filipino favorites. Even today, the amount of L200 that you still see plying the roads is a testament to their excellent durability. As the years past through, these modern day workhorses soon became overfed and overweight. Soon, the Strada (as what the 4WD model is now called), the L200 gained all sorts of fender extensions, needless interior knickknacks and other hefty accessories that simply penalized performance (if the 2.5-liter 4D56 engine wasn’t already being pushed to its limits).
