1989 Boyero
Top of the line, Boyero Tibet
1988 Marked the last year of the off-roading Malamute, and instead of renewing a new model, Mastin opted for designing a new small offroading vehicule and create a separate offroad trim for the upcoming new Rottweiler model. The new model was called Boyero (an old name used for a Van in the early 70s) and it came in 4 distinct trims for the 1989 model year.
Base version
The Boyero was powered by the same Meliora Inline 4 as the 1986 Vaquero, but the sport and Tibet trims received an updated turbocharged variant with a slight power bump, and a much better performance at high altitudes.
The trims were Base, Australia, Sport and Tibet, all offering a 4x4 system and offroad tires. The Australia trim came with a roof rack, alloy wheels, Australia badgets on the sides and a AM/FM radio with a cassette player. The Tibet trim added an offroad winch, a snorkel, offroad skidplate and bigger brakes, and “Tibet” decals, both with 2 tone paints and either chrome or “black steel” painted bumpers.
The Sport trim included AM/FM radio with a cassette player, alloy wheels and no back seats, with sport decals.
