3.5 vs 3.8 desert driving

[andy_macdxb]

IS there a real/significant difference between 3.5 and 3.8L for a desert drive. Am weighing up both options. Can't imagine there's a huge amount in that point 3, but may be wrong  . . .

Thanks

Infact there is a significant difference in power between the 3.5 and 3.8. Since a LWB Pajero is a heavy car, you will notice the difference with the 3.8

Also the 3.8 comes with the additional feature of Rear Diff Lock which is helpful to self recover in some side angle stucks.

If you are serious about the Pajero try to get the SWB Pajero 3.8. Skip the 2008-2011 models as they have a gear upshifting problem.

The 3.8 has almost 50 BHP more than the 3.5. There are stroker kits available to take it up to 4.1 if you want to make real horsepower.
