No joke, the Mitsubishi Pajero holds the record for Most Victories of a Dakar Rally Car between 1985 to 2007. So sit back and join James as we explore what makes the Mitsubishi Pajero a legendary 4x4.

@donutmedia
True
Asif Azeez Hell yeah dude
*Isle of Man
WE NEED PAJERO MINI
why did you start calling it the “Pajaro” like halfway through lol wtf
😂 I know right? Then he went back lol
Said "Dickuh" instead of Dakar the whole time too
Zach Brown it's a Spanish word pronounced Paw-hair-O. It's hare to believe a person who can't pronounce a word right.
Yes
In love with Pajero. My grandpa brought me toy pajero when I was 5. I miss my toy pajaro and Grandpa too. 😢😢
U miss u pajaro!
My father Has a Really old 1995 Mitsubishi Pajero.
My dad had one not too long ago, it was, well, clumbersome and annoying, overall bad fuel economy, too big for off road on our mountains and also a bit too heavy, switched to a jimni and now its all groovy
@@iliterallyhavenouse5089 "Really old" "95"
*sad born in 94 noises
I miss the 1990 pajero that my grandfather sold , six years ago. And now it's to the 5th owner .
Honestly James is the ultimate car guy. Drives a VW. Wants a van. Has a dodge tattoo. Gets emotional over a BMW. James don’t ever stop screaming at me about cars.
P A J E R O esta camioneta me define.
Mas respeto porfavor
Que pro.
Ops!
X2 xd
XD
I drive my mk1 Pajero everyday since 1991. It’s just a fantastic car to drive and I love it. Full stock, carefully maintened and in mint condition. As you said at the beginning of the vid, Mitsubishi created the SUV as we know today, but with a big difference: the Pajero can be driven hard and fast off track and was designed as a proper rally car!
"Yes!" for a Dakar special (please don't forget the early bike riders).
I would love if they did one for every wrc stage too! There's a lot to cover on everyone of them
Stéphane Peterhansel...
I think an up to speed on Dakar episode would be sick with a past gas episode where they tell the story of one of the most crazy Dakar races or racers
Can’t wait!!
Retweet
James: Would you like...
Everyone: Yes.
James: ...an episode on the Dakar Rally?
Everyone: YES!
Me: yawn*
@Krystal Jamieson I only click on porn links

Like, sure, duuh. Lol
"pajero" means "wanker" in spanish just thought you should know
If you pronounce it pahero which the pajero isn't.
@@1250GSX are you being dense on purpose? js are pronounced as hs in spanish
In argentina 🤣
wanker ? no tenes que decirlo en lengua mundial so it means jerk off masturbator
@@osiris1054 es lo mismo pelotudo que corrige con un sinonimo
I came from the Philippines and every rich gangster in the neighborhood had a 1998 Mitsubishi Pajero with solid roof which rumored to store some light arms inside the roof itself.
pajero talaga signature oto ng mga corrupt congressman sa action films
@@runidal1805 lmao so true.. Tapos mitsubishi L300 kung meron silang gustong kidnapin haha
Hahaha. Kapwa pinoy
agree ako dito hahaha
I'm from Philippines too and we had a Pajero and we ain't rich or we don't have guns but it was so luxurious it had some weird stuff like some gyro or someshit idk I was a kid back then
Glad too see James sweating again he may no longer be a thicc boi but he'll always be a slicc boi.
lololol
I’m game for Dakar rally video. They have one of the most bad ass logos
@@Donut next episode can you guys say zoom dogs instead of hrsprs

Donut Media made a great day even better with this video
It's damp rn
Im gay
Us Montero/Pajero/Shogun/Raider owners are finally getting some love👌
montero owner here
5:56 SANDSTORM! SANDSTORM! SANDSTORM! *Darude enters the chat*
Finally..someone did justice to a legendary car.
It was a long time coming but we got dude :)
WTF???
Fun Fact: They had to change the name of this car in Spain because Pajero means wanker in spanish, here (and most spanish speaking countries) is called Montero.
Púbico A friend i met here in Australia has a Pajero and he died laughing when I told him what that word meant in Spanish.
Trully.... Pajero is basicaly a guy is fapping, but in Spain meaning
Lol so true
Right, In Peru Pajero also means wanker, but it is still called Pajero. Pura paja.
pajero and montero were two different models in Indian Market.
Thank God donut finally did an up to speed on my car. Love my 2001 Monty 🙏🏾
Perfectly timed upload, I just got a Montero Sport and hoped that donut made a video about it. Y’all never fail me...
It sucks seeing how awesome Mitsubishi used to be and now they’re basically 1 foot in their own grave
My family had a 1990 Mitsubishi Galant - one of the few non-Mercedes cars that AMG tuned a version of interestingly (Most likely not a single one of those even made it to my country though). Looking at the manual, there were instructions covering using the 4WD system, adjustable suspension (Ride height and damping I think, controlled with buttons in the car) and climate control (None of which we'd ever seen in real life in any car at the time).
My parents bought it because it was the only car we tried with a wide enough back seat to take 4 children across it... The manual had beautiful manga style pictures to explain some of the car's features too. Mitsubishi were a genuinely amazing car company back then - and that's before I discovered they were a vehicle sponsor for Jackie Chan's movies (Have a look for the Lancer Evo and the Pajero stunt driving in 'Who am I' for example), he had a Mitsubishi microvan in 'Wheels on Meals' too. He also showed up with Jaws from James Bond movies as a codriver in Cannonball Run 2 driving a Mitsubishi too...
Z but hey, they make good tv’s
James : How much Dakar do you want ?
Me : Yes.
The Montero and the Pajero is different models here in the Philippines.
It makes it confusing for other people out of the country
yea lol
And our Montero sport is named Pajero sport in some parts of the world🤦♂️🤣
Idk who came up with deciding names but the montero is called the pajero in the philippines but decided to go with the montero sport for the other car
Oh i didnt know that.
Just like the Toyota Hilux pickup. It is now called Tacoma in the U.S.A.
Dodge Raider(rebadged 1st gen Pajero) owner here and I revisit this video every few months. Love it, best video you’ve ever done…
Normal episodes: Lightning!
Dakar rally: Sandstorm!
Love you James!
Edit: And yes I would like to see an episode of UTS on The Dakar Rally
I'd like to see an up to speed on the Dakar rally.
I would also like to see an up to speed on the Dakar Rally
And Camel Trophy
I would like to throw my hat into the ring of up to speed on the Dakar rally interest.
Or the hill climb they do in Saudi Arabia with suped up Nissan Patrols with huge turbos.
They also have a camel beauty contest, with sum. Of the camels costing up to half a million $$$s its insane.
Just bought a 1985 Mitsubishi Montero and absolutely love it. This video is great! Thank you!
These 2 door v6 models were awesome, they came manual and the police in Jamaica had them and we called them "the camel" these things are unstoppable. Thanks for the history lesson on them I never knew that they had such a great racing legacy.
The Paris-Dakar Rally is one of the most legendary races in the history of the sport, PLEASE COVER IT. it's like if you took the Safari Rally and made it for Grown Men instead of young boys.
Quote that last part in the episode, next time the day comes up, comment so James sees
I would love to know more about the Paris-Dakar Rally, I know very little about it but I've heard it mentioned a lot.
I agree 💯%
James: "PAJEROOOOOOOOOOOO"
Me, an Argentinian grinning because he said the word in argentinian spanish for "wanker"
Stephen Fry said this on QI, and I knew it and casually grin everytime as well.
and this is why they changed the name to Montero
@@eliasnicolasmiranda4940 yep thats why, but i had a neighbour which had one, and he changed the badges on purpose because he thought it was funny, and it was, seeing the spare wheel cover saying with big letters "Pajero" (or Wanker) was kinda fun
Its any-spanish word for it now.
Me pasa igual jajajaja, quiero que vuelvan a subir el video en el que hablaron de la F1 y de fangio
Great video! Thanks for making a vid of one of my all time favorites and a Mitsubishi hero car 👌🏽 keep it up!!
That's my car @ 10:55... Like literally. I still own it. And love it. .. wow ! .. thanks @donut for unintentionally featuring my car. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
"Do it", pictured as Shia LaBeouf saying. Dakar for sure
In some spanish speaking countries they renamed it “Montero” because “Pajero” means wanker
Here on spain some of them got to get called like that, and.... Puedo confirmar
Nothing sounds so good as. Lets go whit the wanker to the hills
The wanker mobile
I was wondering why they called it the Pajero for that specific reason. 🤣
Ok, do automotive companies look up the names before before releasing the vehicles? Mitsubishi Pajero, Lamborghini Diablo, and i was wondering if there were more like these, lol, i was not expecting what I found. We got the "Nissan Homy Super Long" i was dying
This is my first donut video and I friggin love you man 💛
I really love this channel! Donut media #1 fan! ☺️🙏🏻 Especially you Kevin Owens! 😃
Freakin love his shows! Let's get that Dakar show on!!
Let's see some Mo POWAH BABY!!!!
James: If you wanna see.
Everyone: Yes
As a proud owner of a 95 Monty, I appreciate this video through and through! Mits ftw 💪
you forgot the Pajero sports. its the "sportier" version of 4th gen. Mitsubishi straight off ripped one from discovery's book and named differently styled model sport. all of the pajeros are ubiquitous in Bangladesh and still running 20 years later.
Fun fact: the Pajero is named Montero in Spain because Pajero literally means wanker
In latin countries too
@@amtic9696 I can confirm this in Dominican Republic 😂😂
Actually in any spanish country
Many thanks for teaching me this🤭🤣👍
Learned this in my first spanish class back in high school. My teacher was awesome.
Legit love James he is the reason I started watching donut and like why I really got into cars
I double that.
Same
He kinda reminds me of post malone
Same here
He is very lovable. 👍
Ever since I saw the Mitsubishi Pajero in 1998 (I live in Chile, which is why we call it Montero) I knew I wanted one. Now I have a 4th generation one and it is a dream come true.
Still have the Gen 2 2.8 Turbo diesel and runs like a tank. Glad you guys made a vid about this 🤘
An up to speed of the Dakar would be amazing!
Peter Marais let’s goooo!!
Gogogogo! One of the best battles I ve seen in motorsport, Al Attiyah vs Sainz on 2011 Dakar
We need up to speed episode of James. First his dad left him, then he had problems with heart but look at him now! This dude is facelifted from XXL to XL and looking better than ever!
My uncle just gave me his Montero, he’s had it since 2002. And after watching this I love it even more than I already did
A year has passed and I still love rewatching up to speed episodes.
Up to Speed on Dakar Rally
Yessssss
And now the Spanish fans have left the chat because James said Pajero and that means wanker...
Here it´s named "Montero", because the Pajero name . . .
My dad had an 88 Montero that was a retirement gift and a 93 turbo diesel montero. We brought the 88 with us to the states when we moved. He friggin loved that thing.
Yes, please James. Bless us with an entire episode about Dakar.
I love the Dakar, I live in Argentina, and even though that when they brought it here wasn't still the same (less sand, more dirt and mud) it was one of the first big racing sports events I was able to see and the huge crowds of peoples, the noises and sounds of those engines running at the start in the streets of Buenos Aires made me get so much into cars. So please make an episode, I would truly love it (and put the footage of Robbie Gordon Hummer getting out of a hole by a Fiat 147 in one of the first South American Dakars)
Also, I have been watching and being subscribed to Donut Media since the Hummer Up To Speed episode jaja, so made a long term follower happy please!!
El 147 tranquilamente te gana un Dakar(?
Que te haces la paja?

Steady on, girl
Oi, need sauce for your profile picture.
Cuantos de nosotros somos llamados como la camioneta por amigos... y no tan amigos
lo terminaron cambiando por montero al final jaja, en España pasaba algo similar con el Mazda Laputa, y que decir de la peli de Ghibli, que en el doblaje latino es una mina de memes jaja
Hi man, thank you so much for this video, sharing a knowledge about automotive from other countries is very fun. I have pressed the subscribe button so I can enjoy your work
5:57 this guy is hilarious I love you man .
In spanish, a “pajero” is a male who likes of the arts of self-gratification
Soooo... a janky swat poppler?
este peruano
AKA wanker
XDDD
I laugh every time I listen to it
Day 20 of asking James to do an ‘’Up To Speed’’ on him self
you are very confident about him doing a up to speed on himself
Up to speed on his dad
Ahahaha that would be insane !
@@user-tu1gb4jd9b That wouldn't be a very long video
@@tajayquest7846 we need long videos during quarantine
Great video and the Evolution is definitely worth drooling over.. Please do a video on the Dakar Rally so we can stay in the know...
In Venezuela they only used the name “Montero” for “Pajero” would be something like “jerk” or “wanker”.
in every Spanish-speaking country it was called Montero, because driving around in a Wanker is not a fun thing
Que wea socio, yo tengo un pajero
Que paja!! Te imaginas manejar por las calles con tu Mitsubishi Masturbador🤣
same as chile you communist
@@nandosaez7368 pero weon como chucha
We wanna see it. Definitely need a Rally special episode
If speak spanish you probably gonna laugh everytime James say the name of the SUV
confirmed
Indeed!
That's only in Argentina really

Dude you look good! You’ve been working out!! Looking awesome!!
That be a awesome video to watch 👍👍
25 years and 222,258 miles after, I still love my PAJERO...
Reliable as hell, I used it as my recce car for Cyprus Rally twice, 2010 & 2011 (meaning, it did the whole rally 6 times) and then it was my service car. Still standing strong. Respect!
The Pajeros here in the philippines (the gen 2) are really tough...
A story about this, a jeepney and a pajero crashed head to head(don’t worry, the drivers and passengers are fine). The jeepney was totaled but the pajero... only has a damaged bumper. It’s literally a hummer for the philippines...
I always wanted one of the gen 2 withe the 4G63 in them...
Gotta miss the Pajero too! That beast used to be one of the go-to choices among politicians and upper-middle class families. Seems like the Montero Sport takes it place, but I guess it could hardly match Pajero's status symbol level.
@@melv1n_official The Montero looks like a turd compared to the oldie Pajeros lol
@@melv1n_official man so true that if u have a pajero here in the PH means you're either a politician or just a rich-ass person. lmao
I'm currently still driving a 2nd gen pajero. Its like a zombie car. No more AC, no more power steering, has oil leaks & radiator leaks. But still keeps on running. It had lots of accidents & damages during its time but I only had one major accident with it during my use.
Drop a 6G in em and they HUMM!
It's like a RB26dett or VG30dett in a patrol/safari y60
Idk how i missed this episode- but wow! Excellent vehicle(3door adventure mini trucks are awesome) and really good host work. Some top tier showmanship from mr JP. One day the world will appreciate him like those top gear guys.
we still waiting for Up to speed on the Dakar...
when it's gonna be?
I love hearing about rally events and racing history. Bring on the Dakar Rally!
James: its 95° degrees here
Rest of the world: **confused screaming**
Lmao
Hi James
*texans: So you mean warm weather?
@@mrmalicious4421 So you mean a perfect day for a soccer afternoon?
I am a metric boi
The thing u gotta understand is the launch on the Evo Pajero is incredible ,the engine is sick, the only thing its a bit scary going around corners with speed, but I'm loving driving it around it's got an awesome road presence
Hello I'm from Portugal and really really....i think this is the greatest car "show" in the world, MO' POWER BABY, and give us your amazing knowledge about Dakar rally, by the way the Dakar even started in my little country 😜. You're freaking awesome and keep The good work.
Oh yeah the Dakar rally is sweet I’d love to see it
Would LOVE to learn about The Dakar Rally! Please, bring me Up To Speed!
Absolutely yes on the Dakar rally video.
Im loving my pajero evo it feels amazing to drive
fuel rate like?
JAMES THIS IS COMING FROM DONUT FANS WE ARE PROUD OF YOU LOSING WEIGHT.
I mean its either you change something or be ready for another heart attack
Its so strange cause his shirts dont fit properly anymore. But its great that he’s improving
It’s actually admirable that you guys have a show every day
Just got one!! Pajero Evolution lhd manual.. what a BEAST!!
When I was a kid I used to see Pajero's a lot in India as a city to village taxi, never even knew about its history. Awesome episode.
I love you James! You make my head lights pop up and down ❤️
Also...YES to Up To Speed on the Dakar Rally
And you make mine!

Sneaky Tiger king reference... love it.
How hasn’t the Dakar rally episode already been done!? I just realised !
I drove to the 2020 Dakar rally (first one in Saudi Arabia) IN a Mitsubishi Pajero, we followed it around Saudi Arabia off-road and camped out with it every night.
Really looking forward to that episode!!!
Are you allowed to enter the bivouac?
As a fan of the Dakar rally I would love to see an Up to Speed episode on the race that made me love cars.Love ya James
James, you forgot the cool factor that JACKIE CHAN drove one and kicked everybody's butt on the movie "who am i?"
The rally of Africa scene was so badass!
Love Dakar like anything else in this planet. So thank you boys for dedication. And I’m gonna like my 2 door Pajero as well 🤘🏽
We had a 1998 Montero and we got a current 2001 Montero Limited, They were both limited models, Low mileage, Very perfect car.
Lets see, do we wanna see an up to speed on the Dakar rally? HELL YES WE DO!
Yes for the Dakar rally! and mabye one on the history on Motogp or the isle of man mabye?
Good call! Isle of Man TT would be incredible
The transition at 11:44 was incredible. I did not expect an ATLA reference on this channel, lol.
Never heard of the Dakar Rally, but thats where you come in man. Give me the goodies!!! Please!!!
Pajero was name Montero because apparently 'Pajero' translates to 'wanker' in Spanish :p
Yep, that's right hahahah, as someone who's native language is Spanish I was surprised when I learned years ago the Montero - which is how the Pajero was sold in Colombia was also named that way in other countries. I couldn't help but laugh. Also, in Colombian lingo pajero not only means a wanker, but also someone who lies a lot or a shit talker of you may. So really goes both ways, depends in context as well.
as a native Spanish talker, I concur that the name "pajero" is the most laughable name, despite been a good vehicle. just the name is a big YIKES...
Not apparently, definitely.
@@PabloAM93 in my country every time you address someone like that it means wanker (dominican republic)
yeas
"Whens the up to speed on James's dad", Just keeping the tradition alive.
Aaron Cook ,dude stop asking if he is going to do it he would have done it by now leave him alone
Harry Niblett but when’s the up to speed on James’ dad?
I owned a silver Montero Evo like the one in the video when I was in college. Fantastic car!
James: I changed my shirt because this one makes me look fat
Me being happy that he's looking after himself:
Nolan needs to work out hahaha
Hahaha, anyone else notice James switched to Pajaaro half way through and back to Pajero at the end.
Awesome vid and definitely do the Dakar Rally
Need more episode about buff horses....talking about semis!!! ;)
Good work guys !
I have owned 3 Montero/Pajero/Showgun. My first one was a 1989 5 door. What a beauty! Selling that car was one of my biggest mistakes in life. Now I own a 2013 Montero Sport 3.2L DID Turbo. I have tuned it and it's a freaking beast. Also it comes with central and rear diff lockers. I freeking love it!
PLEASE DO THE DAKAR RALLY OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH YEEEE
Yazzzzz!!!!
