Shogun 2nd gen (V20) versus Landcruiser Colorado (J90)
Discussion
Hello all,
I'm planning to buy a either a Mitsubishi Shogun or a Toyota Landcruiser Colorado, for greenlaning during holidays. In both cases I'm looking at the generations sold in the second half of the 1990's. A 3rd generation Toyota 4Runner/Hilux Surf is definitely an option too, as I will probably import a car from Japan.
I've been asking around on various Toyota- and Mitsubishi forums, but it's probably wise to get some unbiased opinions as well . I am mainly interested in information on the reliability of these cars and the longevity of engines, drive train components and suspension components. Last but not least, I am very interested to know how badly these cars rust. Comparing both brands on these issues is an important input for my decison on what car to buy.
Do of any of you have experiences with both Mitsubishi's and Toyota's of the models mentioned? Any opinions, or hints on where to find comparative information are highly appreciated !
Regards,
Frans
