Mitsubishi Problems

Your towing needs will dictate a big car. Others you could consider are the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Isuzu MU-X, Holden Trailblazer, or Ford Everest.

It’s likely to be a problem with the actuation system for the front diff, such as the solenoids, vacuum line, actuator, or the sensor in the diff.

It should be located at the front under the inner guard. Look up between the bumper and the support panel and you should see it.

It doesn’t sound normal. I would suggest you take it to a Mitsubishi dealer and have it checked and fixed if needed.

Camper trailers typically weigh in the range of 850 kg to 1200 kg without the extra weight of things like food, bedding, clothes, etc. so it’s probably best to look at a compact SUV. A Mazda CX5 will tow up to 1800 kg, which would seem to fit your needs. Then there’s a Kia Sportage (1600 kg), Mitsubishi Outlander (1600 kg), or Suzuki Grand Vitara (1600 kg).

You can’t, the transmission is sealed and there’s no provision for checking it.

If there are any common problems and complaints about Mitsubishi's reliability or faults, they'll likely show up on our Mitsubishi problems page. You can also calculate a car's projected resale value via our price and specs page.

Your consumption is about right for that model Magna. It’s a relatively large and heavy car with a big, powerful V6, and 2001 engine technology. They aren’t a popular car today; they don’t have the safety, economy, or appeal of other, newer cars.

It’s unlikely, more likely it’s a problem with the throttle body. Have it cleaned out and the idle reset if needed.

Normally my advice would be to buy the newest car with the lowest kilometres and in the best condition. In this case that would be the Triton, which would also comes with what remains of the factory warranty, but on all other counts I would go with the Ranger. The Ranger appears to be in good condition, the kilometres are low for the year, and the service history is just what you want.
