Pick-up Mitsubishi L200

In 1978, the first generation of the Mitsubishi L200 pickup was on sale. A year later, this car was awarded the "Best American pickup of the year" award. The next generation of Mitsubishi L200 appeared in 1996.

This model was issued in three versions:

1. Single Cab with a 2-seater cabin and with a reliable full-size cargo platform.

2. Club Cab with a two-door saloon, in which there were only two rows of comfortable seats for four seats.

3. Double Cab with four-door saloon with two rows of comfortable seats for 4 seats.

In this case, each version could be with the rear, and with the front drive.

Matsubisi L200 is designed for off-road. A large ground clearance, an impressive long-legged suspension and huge wheels are characteristic signs of good cross-country ability. Tuning Mitsubishi L200 can significantly improve the performance of the car. The floor of the cabin is raised fifty centimeters above the ground. Therefore, for easy penetration into the car, there is a step (only as an option).

The interior of Mitsubishi L200 is simple and strict, the color scheme consists of gray shades. The front panel is clear and convenient. There is on it a speedometer, a tachometer, as well as temperature indicators for antifreeze (i.e., coolant) and fuel level. In GLS-version there is a block of additional devices with the index of temperature of air in the street, a krenometer and a voltmeter. The seats have two adjustments, and the steering wheel with two pairs of spokes can be adjusted in height.

Pickup trucks with only one engine are delivered to Russia - a 100-horsepower turbodiesel. Forces (or 4000 revolutions per minute) and a volume of 2,400 liters. The smoking moment can reach up to 2000 rpm.

On the Mitsubishi Tunnel L200 there is a lever of a five-speed manual transmission and a switch of the types of work: the rear drive, the drive is full, the drive is with a series of lowering.

Cars with gasoline and diesel atmospheric engines, as well as rear-wheel-drive versions and models and automatic transmissions to the Russian Federation were not supplied.

In the second row it will be inconvenient to sit tall people because of the low ceiling and small foot space. In addition, there is nowhere to place small items, since there is not a single pocket. Yet the main advantage of the Mitsubishi L200 is its patency and versatility. This car can take on board cargo weighing up to one ton. The cargo compartment has rigid side edges. The rear door can be folded to a horizontal position, so that it becomes possible to carry long loads.

The last generation of Mitsubishi L200 was released in 2006. The design was significantly changed, the car acquired more smooth features, a modern and manly appearance. The interior became more modern, and passengers became more comfortable in the back row due to the increased space. But the most impressive and important change that has happened to Mitsubishi L200 is a modified four-wheel drive transmission. With its help, you can switch from the most economical mode to the drive mode of all wheels while driving up to 100 kilometers per hour.
