1993 Mitsubishi Montero 4dr SUV 4WD
I've had 2 Monteros, a 1993 and 1994 units. Mitsubishi has created one of the most reliable SUVs ever. I currently own the 1993 unit and traded the other for a 2003 Nissan Xterra. The 1993 unit has currently over 139,000 miles and has been fault free only requiring regular maintenance.In Puerto Rico,the Monteros were used as the official vehicle of the interstate police and the civil … defense for emergency where I was told that they operated at an average of 21 hours a day with a engine life expectancy of over 300,000 abused hours.These vehicle can withstand alot and its operational cost is really low. I'm glad for having this vehicle and recommend to anyone looking for a classic,reliable SUV

1992 Mitsubishi Montero SR 4dr SUV 4WD
I've had my 1992 Mitsubishi Montero for 3 years now. It's worked out very well for our family as a dog hauler, people mover, furniture mover, etc. I've spent much less in repairs and maintanence on it than I did with our 1994 Land Rover Range Rover, but we expected that. I had the infamous smoking exhaust/worn valve stem seals occur during my second year of ownership, but simply … replacing all of them with new seals cured that completely. I'd buy the truck again if I had too, so that probably is the best review I could give.

Great Truck

1993 Mitsubishi Montero SR 4dr SUV 4WD
I have had this truck for over 7 years
now and still enjoy it as much as the
day I bought it. Very reliable, very
comfortable and tons of room for
passengers and cargo. With 150,000
miles on the odometer, the truck is
slowly starting to wear out. Frequent
leaks, and parts that are breaking.
Almost looks like it reached its design
life.

Great Winter Ride!

1993 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought my Montero my first year in College, and loved it! I immediately put bigger wheels and tires on it and took it kayaking, mountain biking, and skiing. Opening day in 2001 it snowed 72" in 36 hours in the NW. We were the only people at the mountain, no one else could make it into the parking lot before the plows came. I had to replace the intake and exhaust valves at 100k miles as … well as the head gasket. This is a very heavy vehicle, the V6 is too small in my opinion for it, not very much power. Other than that, very nice vehicle.
