Trust mitsu engines.
I come from another country Guatemala, where mitsubishi trucks are popular, I've known owners with trucks from the late 70's and still those guys will not let go those trucks. I enjoyed my 1995 and now my 2001 montero, I wish those trucks will have more power and better gas mileage. I know this montero will last long, long years of good performance and few problems.

Great SUV, Really.
I replaced my 1998 ML320 with a 2001 Montero Limited and I am very pleased with this car. It has been over 30,000 miles and it is still completely trouble-free. This SUV has a very nicely finished and roomy interior. The V6 is adequate for getting to and from the office but a little more low-end torque would be welcome here. The transmission is very smooth, the breaks are very precise and the steering feels just perfect. I love this car!
Great Vehicle
Excellent vehicle, no problems whatsoever, gets 19MPG most times which is great ( 21Hwy, 17In-town) excellent spac3e utilization and comfort, wish it had more power so it could be more fun to drive, but you compromise the excellent fuel economy, Not a me too SUV as the style is distinctive.
King of the Road
Exceptional vehicle. Trouble free with 109,000 miles. Never changed the tires. I can,t believe how great this vehicle is. I keep the oil change and it keeps on gettin. No electrical issues. No turn over's here and i really put it to the test.
Don't flip
Despite all the hype about flip overs. I've yet to come close to fliping. The suv is fun to drive. I had my share of problems, but the only serious issue was my bearings went after 30K. Heated seats work well and the car is quiet and solid.
Wonderful SUV!!!
Now owned 6 mo. and driven 6,000 mi., and my opinion - as close to perfect as most things get! Sure it drinks gas. Sure it's no Porsche. And sure it's costly to purchase. What do you expect? It's a big, heavy, luxury SUV! It rides beautifully, is extraordinarily comfortable, has premium "touch & feel", and is just plain lovable!! I drove nearly every SUV built today (Hummer & Cadillac being the exceptions) before choosing this gem, and to me it rivaled a couple and far exceeded the rest. Go ahead and compare, you'll likely find this one to be one of the top 5 (top 10 at the least). Nice redesign Mitsubishi - I love this machine!!!
kbza review
this vehicle adapts to every type of life... i got 2 years with this vehicle and i dont have any conplaints. good aceleration, can tow 5000 pounds, seven seats , gorgeous exterior and interior, excelent off road capabilities, great room for cargo... i love it....
Good and Bad
Plush, loaded with features, good looking, but gutless, prone to premature tire wear, bad gas mileage.
Look at other options
When I first saw the 2001 Montero I loved the look. The new curves and the molding were very surprising. The interior was very nice as I expected. After driving it, I fell in love with the nice ride. It was also fun to have people take a double look at the SUV when they saw it riding down the road. After years of driving it, I must say that I still like it. Unfortunately, my liking to drive it is overshadowed by frequent visits to the dealer for repairs. With 60,000 miles, this vehicle has had two brakes jobs, five radios, and ten sets of headlights, just to name a few. Anyway, my point is, of the vehicles I have owned, this one is the most expensive to own.
2001 Montero LTD
Next to my old 1969 Porsche 911, and for obviously different reasons, the Montero LTD is maybe the nicest car I've owned. That comparison includes 3 Toyota 4-Runners - great cars but lacking the creature comforts of the Montero. Apart from a few factory recalls and a failed O2 sensor in the emissions system (ouch) this has run flawlessly for 39,000 miles and carried me comfortably all over south and central Texas where I drive in connection with my job. I have no complaints, a great car. Mitsubishi's Diamond Advantage program is the best, my quasi-lease runs out in February 05 and I am keeping this vehicle, just love it.
No surprise why named KING OF OFFROAD
The ride is so luxurious almost non-SUV like. The quality of material used is superior to all other vehicles in it's class. For the price you will be happier than the Acura, Lexus RL300 and by all means happier than pathfinder, 4runner, explorer.... Test drive one for yourself and see the difference. I bought it on great reviews. Countries like Australia and China use this as their 'offroad' vehicle of choice.
Fingers Crossed
We bought a Montero Limited 4 wheel drive in '01 and besides the tire and brake wear we've been very pleased with the overall performance. I was shocked to read the other reviews and plan to keep a close eye on everything mentioned. Also, I did have a slight power problem but after some good fuel treatment it seems to have gone away.
Just Love this SUV
I have had this car for almost three years and could not be happier, it is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Having a son that is over 6'4 it is wonder having a vehicle he can ride in and be comfortable in the rear set. The leg room can only be described as spacious. It has become the favorite car for my tennis team, we can all travel together in comfort without having to take 2 cars. Like I said before, just love this SUV.
Built to Last
Drove Monteros and Landcruisers while working in Saudi Arabia back in the 80's. I could tell the quality even with this Montero's predecessor. Toyota and Mitsubishi know how to make true reliable 4 wheel drive automobiles. The beauty of the Montero is that it has the ride and fit and finish of the Landcruiser, with a much better designed interior, but is thousands less!
Awesome
I have driven this baby many times in a gravel pit filled with mud and I can't get stuck even if I wanted to. It has good power.
Best Car I've ever owned
This has been the most dependable car I have ever owned. I will keep it till the wheels fall off.
I was driven now I'm awake and driving
I had planned to buy another Nissan Pathfinder when a friend of mine bought his 2001 Mit. Montero. After riding in it I started my internet reseach and I liked what I read and the design. I've had my Montero since Jan 2002 and I am quite glad I choice it. The room in my opinon exceeds the Pathfinder, and where the Pathfinder removed the rugged look of the tire rack, Montero made it more appealing. I am very happy with my new SUV.
