The tire size is 245/70R16. I haven't towed much with it other than a couple short trips hauling my 1290 KTM on a utility trailer which it performed quite well.

I will start off by saying that I am selling my Delica due to trying to "thin the herd" a bit. Five four wheeled vehicles and who knows how many 2 wheelers is getting to be a bit much to look after, let alone the insurance for all of them.
If you are looking for an extremely versatile vehicle that performs well, you have found it. Here are some stats:
- 83,000 Miles
- 4 Wheel Drive (4 high, 4 low, 2 high)
- 5 Speed Manual
- 2.5L Turbo Diesel
- 8 Passenger
- 21-25 MPG
The truck was imported from Japan around three years ago and therefore is right hand drive. Adapting to this is quite easy. The best part of this feature is when someone passes you and your dog is sitting the left seat!
I had wanted a Delica for quite some time. Last summer I missed one on eBay and a few weeks later this one came up on a BringATrailer auction. Here is a list of what was performed during my ownership:
- BFGoodrich KO2 A/T Tires (~5000 miles)
- Replaced Tranmission Fluid with Royal Purple
- Installed 2.5" Stainless "Side dump" exhaust. This helps shed EGT's a bit quicker.
- Pro-Comp Front Shocks
- Rear Monroe Air Shocks
- Kats Circulating Coolant Heater
- FTS 2" Towing Receiver (Pic below)
- Krown Oil Undercoating (Professionally done)
The interior room is incredible! I have hauled a couple motorcycles in the back (albeit on the smaller side) and camped in it a few nights too. Since purchasing the Delica last August, I have racked up just over 5k miles without issue. It is extremely reliable and couldn't run better. When starting the van on cold mornings I have been using the recirculating coolant heater. Although, I have started it without the heater on a -10 deg F morning and it started without issue. On the mild two-tracks that I have been on the short wheelbase performed very well.
Here is the link to the auction listing where I purchased it: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-mitsubishi-delica-3
I would confidently hop in the van and drive it anywhere without any worries. It drives very easily, straight and comfortable.
Price: $13750

I am moving to TC in the next few weeks. Also, I'm looking at purchasing a Delica. Is there a shop in the area that can do repairs that is familiar with this vehicle that you'd recommend? Also, what is the availability of parts like in the area? Thanks for your help.
