By the end of the 1970's, Mitsubishi vehicles were picking up honours both at home and abroad, including South Africa's 1977 "Car of the Year" (the Galant) and 1979 "USA's Pick-up of the Year" (the L200). But this was just the start. In 1982 the Shogun (badged Pajero or Montero in other parts of the world) was launched, a 4x4 which was quite different from anything that had been seen before. Quite incredibly, just a few months later in the Paris-Daker rally, it took honours in the Production Class and the Marathon Class, as well as the Best Team award. Two years later it won outright and a legend was born; the Shogun became a global best-seller, winning "4x4 of the Year" awards in France, Australia, Britain, Spain and West Germany. And it was not alone on the honours list - Galants, Colts, Lancers and L200s were all being honoured worldwide.

"Galant grows from compact to midsize dimensions in a 2004 redesign that brings new styling and more power. DE and ES models retain a 2.4-liter 4-cyl engine, but gain 20 hp. The LS and sporty GTS have a 3.8-liter V6 with 35 hp more than Galant's previous 3.0 V6."

Towing a trailer is no small responsibility and should be undertaken with great care and an eye toward safety first. An accident with a tow vehicle and trailer can have much greater consequences than carelessness with a small car. Balancing the trailer load and preparing the trailer and tow vehicle are critical to safe handling. The first thing to determine is how much weight is being towed and confirming that it is within the capacities of the equipment being used. Determining where that load is placed is critical to the way your trailer will handle on the road. If you speed too fast, the load may become unbalanced and the trailer will begin swaying back and forth. This could result in your losing steering control leading to an accident.
