This one is a champ. Luxury for 6-7 people ... or for overnight camping (fold down seats for full sized bed), 3 DC accessory outlets, heated seats, large windows for scenic views as well as sun roof can completely open up ... 2000 Styling and Electronics, and side airbags in two rows of seats, were top of the line for the New Millennium era... amble HVAC COLD & heated air along with three (3) 4x4 settings, and up to 5000lbs towing! Owner maintenance (light to heavy) is fairly easy, and new parts & used parts (inp the USA) are readily available: hearsay is several Pacific Rim governments regular rehabbed their fleets of Monty's. Well maintained engine is good for around 300K, and one must properly torque pressures on many fasteners (bolts) . Recommend replacing OEM brake pads & rotor to lower end, Performance parts. Likewise, change the oil filter regularly due to it's small capacity (my history is using synthetic oil and change the filter at 2K miles, the oil at 4K miles). Intake manifold system is a is a little tricky, oil cap leaks too much (occasionally fouls the rear O2 sensor). Engine & transfer case replacement is really easy for this vehicle -- (my) 4x4 mechanic gave me a few freebies after the standard engine replacement labor charge. Like much Japanese engineering specification --Stealth's, Galent's, Mont.Sport's - don't wait for the timing belt to break or you need at least an expensive valve job.

It's a lumbering, slow, hulking SUV - therefore, it's everything I should hate to see sitting in my driveway. As die-hard VW owners for many years, we never quite understood the SUV thing but always liked the Monteros we saw on the road. When our second child came along we wanted a vehicle that could carry our entire family plus luggage and/or friends, but it still had to be fun (read: capable off-road). Suddenly the SUV made sense and we bought a Montero. It's been a great truck and we plan on keeping it for years to come.

Bought this Montero brand new. Zero mechanical problems to date. Good first time Japanese car owner experience. I would recommend this truck to anybody looking for a good reliable SUV in this category. Truck has not been to the dealer not even once for repairs or under warranty. Third row seat is good enough for the kids and nephews.
