I've owned my Montero for almost 4 years and I still love it! I take it everywhere: in the snow, sand, mountains, and on long road trips (2,000 miles+). Never had a problem, with proper care it will last another 30 years. The strength of the Montero is better than anything I have seen. Almost impossible to damage.

Was used primarily for road travel with a load of product and brochures for Sales and Marketing for all DoD, Federal and State Government sales of computers and computer related equipment for a seven year period. It was an office on wheels. It never failed me or let me down in any way. Unfortunately my supporting Mitsubishi dealership closed in Montgomery, AL. I have had to let some things go for lack of a competent and trustworthy repair facility. I am having to take the vehicle to different repair facilities for different types of maintenance requirements. I'm due for a timing belt change and have found a recommended facility finally. I'm ordering most of the parts myself.

Many SUV's speak of their off-road abilities, but this truck delivers. (There's a reason it's won the Dakar Rally so often!) By no means is this a "shopping mall" SUV, and for this reason, if you don't plan to "use" this truck, there are many more SUV options for you that would seem to be more appropriate. It's not the prettiest truck out there, but it is very practical and tough, and it's drivetrain linkage is top notch. I've gotten through some very difficult situations in this truck that I feel many SUV's on the road today could/would have never handled. That being said, you need to be honest about your intentions and use before you choose an SUV!
Solid SUV

We've had this vehicle for about 3 years/40,000 miles and have only performed scheduled maintenance on it - but maintenance tends to be expensive. Not as refined as the newer Montero, it's a good solid SUV with fold-up third row seating for better flexibility. Gas mileage is about 17 mpg.
