Mitsubishi have had mixed success in the past from their 4x4 pickups mainly due to the small size of the pickup bed, with the Nissan Navara and Ford Ranger sharing the spoils, but in the L200 Long Bed, they have a vehicle which now has a load length of 1,510mm at the rear which is an increase of 180mm on previous versions.
The 2.5-litre, four cylinder turbodiesel engine has increased the power to 176bhp and an impressive 400Nm of torque from 2,000rpm which makes it one of the most powerful on the market, it tow up to 2,700kg and take a payload of so whether you are using the vehicle as a workhorse or not it should provide plenty of beef.
Depending on what you are using the L200 for it comes in several different guises, the 4Work, 4Life, Warrior and Animal. These models range in price from £17k to about £26k
The L200 has a stylish exterior and is good on and off road. It can do 0-60 in 11.3 seconds, its fuel economy isnt bad for the size of machine at around 30mpg, but without weight in the bed the l200 doesnt drive very well due to a bad shock absorber design and the rear end can tend to slide a bit in the wet.
Overall its a rough tough machine with enough style, length and power to provide most users with a good experience whether its for work or play. There are also plenty of l200 accessories available should you want to stand out from the crowd.
