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.

  Mitsu rocks - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By IanC - May 28 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Montero - the first I traded after 120000 miles in 2 years - lots of driving and nevr missed a beat. The 3.8 has improved the power enough that when you need it it is there. I commute 45 miles each way daily and nevr get tired of the Mitsu - this vehicle is a hidden gem. The 3rd row seat we only use occasionaly and it is tight but for the kids they are fine. The turning radius is great - a lot easier to park than the domestic bohemouths like the Tahoe. If you looking for a compact well built, occasional 7 passenger that will fit easily anywhere - the mitsu has it !! Great Vehicle - compleely underrated by most. Will continue to buy.

  hope this helps someone - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By 2 Time Montero Owner - April 15 - 4:56 am

  The things that keeps me from selling my montero with fuel prices on the rise is that it is awesome to drive, handles great, great driving visibility which makes me feel a lot safer driving in different types of conditions, comfortable driving on freeway or on a dirt road, and is as easy to park as a car. Im not afraid to be a little rough on my montero because I know it can take it. Very cold A/C, lots of headroom, turns and handles like a car, high ground clearance. Downfalls are that the 3rd row seats are not intended for adults, is hard to wash, and carpet length is hard to vacuum. The good things still outweigh the bad. It is an awesome driving suv.

  Great Value - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By accprof1 - February 2 - 4:53 pm

  We purchased a 2004 model with the DVD entertainment system and so far are very happy with the purchase. The primary reason for purchasing this vehicle was the value that we were getting for the price. We got a vehicle with an MSRP of $36,074 for $18,500 plus our trade-in, which was a 2000 Montero Sport LS with 64,500 miles. The $5,000 generous rebate from Mitsubishi made it all possible.

  Great SUV - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By KSt13 - June 15 - 10:00 am

  I love my new Montero. It is a pleasure to drive, has lots of room and has a very refined interior. The drive train is where the real fun starts. The engine and transmission work well together for good acceleration and a quite but powerful driving experience.

  For the money I dont think there is any Luxury Sport Utility that matches the Montero feature for feature. The ride and handling of this beautiful SUV is wonderful A+A+

  05 Versus others - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By cmbianchi - March 18 - 11:03 pm

  Just got back from the Intl Car show and the Montero still outshines all others for $$. Sure hope Mits can bounce back from the $$ problems they are having, itd be a shame to lose this much capable SUV. There is still nothing on the market under or around $40,000 that gives what the Montero gives. Ive got an 03 and see no changes except for the DVD player vs the huge sunroof. I sure would like to see the montero compared to some of the other SUVs out there, or maybe there is a reason it isnt. It would put to shame some of the other dual color plastic interiors and exteriors.

  Mountain Climber - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By SafeInSnow - November 21 - 4:13 pm

  My wife and I call this the Mountain Climber. Its ability to grip the road in all conditions (snow, sleet, rain, mud) is amazing. I really wish they would make a 2010 version. Compared w/ all other SUVs, this is the hidden diamond (get it?). 3 rows of seating, HUGE storage, and awesome cabin feel.

  One of the Nicest SUV - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Monty 2004 - November 14 - 4:43 pm

  The Mitsubishi Montero is one of the best vehicles one can own. I can see people complaining about its fuel economy but which midsized SUV doesnt have bad fuel economyThe interior and exterior are excellent, extremely stylish. This truck is extremely comfortable.
