Here is a quick comparison of the different Mistubishi vans going off-road. The L300's are from the mid 90's, the L400's from late 90's to around 2007 and the D:5 model from 2007 onwards.
I know it is not a great comparison as all vehicles are driven by different drivers and some vehicles have bigger tyres and some lift. At least it gives some idea what is possible.
Indeed you can really take the D:5 off-road!
