Mitsubishi has revived the Pajero, the rugged body-on-frame SUV many North American drivers remember as the Montero. The new generation returns to a traditional off-road formula rather than becoming another car-based crossover.\n\n## Is it coming to Canada?\n\nCanadian availability has not been confirmed. Global debuts and U.S. speculation do not automatically translate into a Canadian model. Still, capable body-on-frame SUVs remain relevant for drivers who tow, travel on gravel roads or deal with severe winter conditions.\n\n## What owners should inspect\n\n- Frame and underbody corrosion\n- 4WD system operation and fluid service\n- Suspension joints, bushings and wheel bearings\n- All-terrain or winter tire condition\n- Brake wear after towing or off-road use\n\nIf the Pajero reaches Canada, WrenchFinder will update Canadian specifications once official details are available.
