Overview & Reviews
The Montero gets a standard tire-pressure monitoring system and a revised gauge cluster. The base XLS model is history, leaving the Limited as the sole trim level for 2004. Rear air conditioning, automatic climate control and dual power seats are now standard.
- High-quality interior materials, sharp cabin design, large cargo capacity, excellent off-road capability.
- Serious lack of power compared to rivals, mediocre on-road handling, cramped third-row seat.

Work horse - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
By FrankP - May 20 - 4:40 pmI purchased my 04 Montero with about 10K miles on it. It now has 191,000 and still going strong. I have been very strict with the oil changes - every 5k and most of the other suggested maintenance. The vehicle has never left me stranded. It is excellent off road with great clearance and easily goes where other mid-size utes wont dare. The highway ride is good too and it does a decent job towing my camper. Very comfortable seats except 3rd row is for small kids only. Ive had to replace the catalytic converter twice very $$$ and had the manifolds off both sides of the engine develop heat cracks which had to be repaired - other wise no issues. Trans, 4WD and motor no issues at all.

Montero - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
By Kloonce - December 2 - 10:00 amThe 2003 Mitsubishi Montero is an exciting SUV both in style and performance. The interior componants are well placed and luxurious. They are comparable to the high end auto makers (Lexus, Infinity, Cadillac, etc.) I tend to disagree with the perception that the performance of the truck is limited by the size of the engine. It works for me. Good pick up and stays on the road.

It feels good. - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
By dorothy - April 13 - 10:00 amThis is the first car-truck that I have liked to drive since I had my 57 Chev Belair. It does have style.It feels safe to drive. Its a little hard on the gas. Its nice to know that I can hop in it & take off anywhare, & not worry about it breaking down.Its fun.It also holds a lot of fishing equipment, grandkids, dogs, and other cargo.

Good Car - Dealer Needs Work - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
By KStov - July 31 - 10:00 amMy new Montero is a very well refined vehicle. Watch out if you buy at Skyline Mitsubishi, they play games with numbers in a big way. Too bad there isnt a John Elway Mitsubishi in North Metro Denver.

Exnlt choice - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
By twinn - April 30 - 10:00 amI read reviews that the Montero lacked power. Well, I am a senior citizen who no longer has to drive every vehicle like it is a Porsche. This vehicle has enough power for me. However, during mountain driving, the 5 speed auto will down shift to lower gears and it is a bit sluggish. Gas mileage is not that great, but it is an SUV and none of them get good gas mileage. The third row seat is not intended for adults to get in and out; it is for children or very flexible adults.
