Mitsubishi Delica Submodels
The Mitsubishi Delica, particularly the L300 and L400 generations, combines the utility of a van with the rugged underpinnings of the Pajero SUV. This unique formula created a go-anywhere adventure vehicle that stands out from typical 4x4s. Originally sold primarily in the Japanese market, they've become popular imports in North America under the 25-year rule, attracting overlanders and van life enthusiasts.
Collectors are drawn to the Delica for its distinct style and surprising off-road prowess. Models like the Star Wagon and Space Gear offer features like high ground clearance, capable 4WD systems, and versatile interiors with rotating seats. It's a characterful alternative to a VW Syncro or a modern Sprinter 4x4, offering a true JDM experience.
Buying Tips
- Check thoroughly for rust, especially on the frame, wheel arches, and underbody, as many were used in snowy climates.
- The 2.5L 4D56 turbodiesel can be reliable, but it's prone to overheating. Inspect the cooling system and look for signs of head gasket failure.
- Test the Super Select 4WD system to ensure it shifts smoothly between all modes (2H, 4H, 4HLc, 4LLc).
- Verify all import documentation and ensure the vehicle has a clean, transferable US title.
