Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hello Folks,

Its my first time so please be gentle.


I'm currently driving a 1995 Nissan XE gas V6 4x4 pickup and I'm ready to move over to the diesel world.


The idea of RHD and changing lanes, and passing on highways makes me nervous.



Been a 4x4 driver for 20 years now, first an '85 Nissan pickup and currently a '95. I got into 4x4 vehicles after I found myself carrying around two planks in the back of my Datsun station wagon to cross water ditches on logging roads and spinning out on steep grades.

I like to do a lot of back roading, but with the price of gas I have been severely cut back.

I'm 59, a journalist and musician. Grew up on Vancouver island and live in East Vancouver now.

Several friends have Delicas and I'm getting tempted. I go on some pretty rugged 4x4 trips though and I'd like to hear your experiences on how the Delica handles water bar ditches, small stream crossings and rockslides across roads. I need a vehicle I can sleep in too.

And I am very curious about fuel consumption. that's the big reason I want to get rid of my V6 Nissan pickup



Thanks,

Hope to talk to you some more.
