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!

Best Auto I've Owned

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.

It's a good solid ”body on frame” SUV. Great for upgrading for true off-roading but ok highway driving.

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.
