we traveled to skardu in our 2001 pajero. and, it broke down almost everyday of the trip. heat up issues, broken fan belts, radiator cap problems, bad break shoes, bad tires and what not? although these issues are minor ones, but because of lack of pajero's spare parts and mechanics who can repair Mitsubishi cars in small towns and cities, we had a bad experience. we also have a 2002 toyota prado and a 1992 prado, never had problems with them on tours or while hunting.
