Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

mom just got home from squishmish and said there was a smashed up delica on the side of the road. who was it?

Hey Pat, have you heard any more about that deli? Did it have a mitsu maple sticker? Christine.

We saw this Delica too. Did not recognize the face of the driver. No mitsu maple sticker on it either.

Gentleman at Cocao Latte's coffee shop in Queensbury commented that he passed this wreck - said the deli made out pretty good - not sure what that meant for the other car. Hope everyone ok.

The other car (small) had a pretty crazy squeezed together trunk. The Delica did quite fine, but had to be towed as well.

Can you tow a Deli or does it have to be flat bedded?

If you have manual hubs and have them unlocked, it can be towed since the front driveshaft moves nothing up front.

If you have auto hubs (stock), it should be flat bedded but can be towed providing if you reach underneath and can freely rotate the front driveshaft while the Delica is turned off and in 'P'. If you feel any tension while turning, then I would have it flat bedded.

If you have flanges (stock on Gen II Spacegear/Pajero/Montero's), then it should be flat bedded.

most (all?) tow trucks have dollies on them to tow such vehicles, they hoist your front on the truck and put dollies under the rear wheels. easy enough.
As for flat towing, recommended for very short distances in emergencies only.
