Mitsubishi L200 on The Moose Test: Not Terrible but Not Great

This is an average result for an average truck.

Pickups don’t have the speed or cornering ability of a car. Their main purpose is to haul large items and tow trailers. However, they must be safe. Even trucks need to be tested around cones.

The moose testing is a method to evaluate the vehicle’s ability to evade an unexpected obstacle. The test vehicle in this instance is the Mitsubishi L200, which is a reliable and sturdy choice for European markets. This video is from YouTube’s KM77 channel, which has previously tested many vehicles.

Although it is clear that a vehicle must cover the course at least 77 km/h (48 mi/h), many new models have failed to meet this requirement. Although the L200 is one of them, it’s not surprising that such a tall vehicle failed to make the course. The Japanese truck made its best attempt to avoid hitting the cones at 69 km/h (43 MPH).

The channel’s hosts say that although it isn’t a great result, it’s still an acceptable rate for a truck. The L200 feels safe and confident, despite its large body roll. You’d be amazed at how the pickup performed on the moose test circuit if you compare it to other models.

KM77 has previously viewed videos showing that the L200 was faster than the BMW M235i Gran Coupe. However, the limiting factor for the Bavarian four door was the set of Bridgestone tires. Actually, the L200’s results are comparable to what the Volkswagen Golf 8 was capable of when it was tested a few months back.
