What can I say? Hmmm, this was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. I hate to part with it, but it is time. I have not put much into the car except tires and batteries over the years. The paint has held up well and is still as shiny as the day I purchased it. I will miss my old friend.
So far so good

So far it's OK. I love the ride, it's not too shabby. It seems to run well, it has 106,000 miles on it, but I haven't had it long so I have my fingers crossed. In the past I have had great luck with Mazda and Nissan and am hoping for the same with this. I once had a Jeep Cherokee, much to my dismay. I am really enjoying my Montero's tall feel and head space. The pickup is slow, but it gets there. I like the upright firm seating, the moonroof / slider, compass, 3rd seat and the looks.

Living with the Monty for 70k

We got the Monty with 80k miles and now have just passed 150k. It is a well made, good performing vehicle for mountain areas. If you put the superwinch manual hubs on, and use synthetic oil it will get 20 mpg on the highway doing 70 while running the air, over and over again. With good tires, it is very stable and well mannered in the snow, no big surprises, with good visibility. Remember to change the timing belt, and check the engine oil level. This is our second monty, and both used oil at about 1 qt. every 1.5k miles, but do not smoke, I suspect it is normal. A little long for serious off roading, but it will get you just about anywhere you need to go.

Ok, i bought this truck in 2001 with 40K on it. I'm the 2nd owner of this truck and will probably drive until planet earth suffers the heat death! I now have about 150K on her and its been a reliable truck, only the typical maintenance (timing belt, brakes, alternator etc.). I have of course taken care of this truck, and the owner before me clearly did as well, so that has a lot do with while its still running. It seems from looking at these reviews that people have generally had good luck with monteros, but there will always be someone who had a bad experience. The montero is a real SUV capable of doing serious off roading and its got a nice classic truck look. I love it! MPG 15/19
