Any L400 low roof? And height?

Post by delicat »

Seems like all L400 landing here are SuperExceed or Crystallight but I don't think I've seen a single low roof. I know they exist, have seen them with dual sunroofs but that was abroad.

I've found the "official" height as 6'9" (high roof) and 6'5" (low roof). Does this sound right? (and/or would it change once new tires are fitted, 235's).

We often do house swap around the world (that's how I ended up in Sweden right now...) and lot's of the people we are exchanging houses with are retired and often in their 60's. This Swedish elder couple tried to use my "lowered" L300 and they just couldn't get into it or feel comfortable anyway so they ended up renting a car, expenses they were not expecting!

If this scenario was to repeat itself regularly I'd consider trading my 2nd 300 for a 400 as the sitting position is lower and probably easier to get in (no longer sitting on the front wheel). But underground parkades comes in the picture as well so that's why I'm asking... How tall are they?

Thanks!
David

ps. Glad I didn't leave them Mitsushi!

Not sure about final height but the high roof L400's are definitely taller than the high roof L300's noticeably.

They are very easy to slide in and out of the front seats compared to the L300's.

Very large, wide and tall barnyard doors.

Thanks guys.

On the UK site they had a Mitsubishi print out giving the numbers I posted which are a little different than those from Loki. The actual numbers were 1965-2060 so the high roof is basically the same but the low roof on Loki's number would end up being 6'1", that's a big difference!

As for the 400 being taller than the 300 is there that much of a difference? The 300 SuperExceed is about that 6'10" not lifted... Ahhhhhhhh, me comfused again! :|

I parked my lifted pop top beside a high roof L400 crystalite and mine wasn't much taller. Maybe 3-4 inches max.

This was at Mardy's L400 show n' tell. There was a low roof L300 parked beside the L400 and it was a lot lower.

All of them were stock at his lot.

The L400's are very tall vehicles. Not the overall height but from the bottom of the body(mold/frame) to the top of the roof. The front doors are humongous. Very easy to get in and out. Similar to the Astro/Safari van doors.

1,855–2,070 mm is not far from 1965-2060. I just cut and pasted from wikipedia. I was looking at the high roof and they seem right to me, but I haven't seen an L400 in the flesh yet.
