    How to distinguish between NT and NW Pajero

    Hi everyone,
    Dumb question of the day: how can I distinguish between a Pajero GL NT and NW?
    I know that sounds stupid but a few months ago I bought a second hand Pajero and I am not sure whether it’s a NT or a NW model.
    The car was first registered on the 30th Dec 2011.
    The Service and Maintenance book says MY12
    When I did a Car history report it came up as a NW MY12
    The Vin plate shows a V5AWF transmission (Axle V5AWF 3917) – as far as I know this is the ASIN transmission that was introduced with the NW.

    The reason why I am confused is because the seller advertised the car as a NT model but according to everything else it is a NW

    The car would have been built in 2011, probably late in the year. It was listed as MY12 (Model Year 12). Typically they started about October listing the following year. I would say it is an early NW Pajero.

      NT has the same transmission as NW. Think the front bumper is different?

        This. The Aisin transmission was introduced behind the diesel in the NT.

          Redbook shows the VIN prefixes for each model.

          Main external difference is the front bumper.

            Yep, only 100% guaranteed way is to check the VIN (most bullbars, inc MM, look the same between NS-NW

              Isn't the dash lights a different colour in the NW red lights as opposed to blue in the NT

                  Thanks everyone. According to the redbook prefix it seems to be a NW model.

                    My NW was bought on same date as yours, is a MY12, and is a NW
