Mitsubishi is making it absolutely clear that its reborn large SUV is meant to be used, not just shown off. The automaker has officially detailed a massive catalog of 20 Australian-developed genuine accessories for the upcoming 2027 Pajero. To support the revived Montero nameplate globally, Mitsubishi Motors Australia worked directly with the Japanese head office starting in 2022 to ensure the vehicle architecture was properly reinforced to handle heavy-duty touring equipment.
The accessories list is extensive, addressing the exact modifications touring enthusiasts typically seek in the aftermarket. Buyers can immediately equip their 4×4 with hooped or hoopless bullbars, a heavy-duty winch cradle, and comprehensive underbody protection. By developing these components directly alongside the vehicle, Mitsubishi ensures crucial safety features, such as the front cross-traffic alert system, remain fully functional when the front protection bars are installed.

Towing Capabilities and Regional Manufacturing
Because the new Pajero boasts a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity, putting it squarely in contention with the Everest and Prado, developing genuine touring equipment was a massive priority. The comprehensive local catalog includes a specially integrated tow bar, a weight distribution hitch, and an electric brake harness provided directly by Australian specialist Redarc.
Several of these crucial components, including the front protection bars, driving lamps, and winch cradle, are actually manufactured locally in Australia. This level of local engineering proves why the SUV is a proper Land Cruiser rival. It is not simply a cosmetic package; the automaker has engineered the accessories to be a functional extension of the vehicle’s rugged capability.

Out-of-the-box Offroad Experience
Launching a 4×4 with a robust catalog of factory-backed, locally developed accessories is a brilliant strategy. Australians demand incredible durability from their touring vehicles, and aftermarket modifications can occasionally cause warranty headaches or disrupt modern sensor systems. By keeping the engineering in-house, Mitsubishi offers peace of mind to buyers who want to head straight from the dealership to the dirt.
Given the massive preorder volume secured before the SUV even goes on sale, the local accessories strategy is already a resounding success. Furthermore, as the automaker attempts to offset recent falling financial forecasts, offering high-margin accessories directly through the dealer network will help significantly pad the bottom line during the initial launch phase this December.
