Mitsubishi Montero - The Car Connection
Read More Below » The Mitsubishi Montero, known as the Pajero to much of the rest of the world, is a mid-size SUV that enjoyed a sort of cult following in the U. S. —among off-road enthusiasts who appreciated its hardy construction and proven design. But what made this model such a standout in the 1990s—as it went up against models like the Isuzu Trooper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Land Rover Discovery, and Toyota Land Cruiser—made it more of a liability heading into the 2000s, as the Montero... There might be a few of the original, first-generation Montero models (1983-1991 model years) still on the road in the U. S. That model, by the way, was also sold in its later years as a Dodge Raider, and up through 1990 in two- or four-door body... Second-generation Mitsubishi Montero models were offered from 1992 through 2000. Although they preserved much of the body-on-frame design of the first-gen models, these Monteros were a step up in comfort and a little roomier. Powertrains included a base 151-horsepower, 3. 0-liter V-6 (177 hp in later years), or a 215-hp, 3. 5-liter DOHC V-6. 1997-2000 models got a 200-hp, SOHC version of this engine, while 1998-2000 models ditched all the different.
