  Love Monteros - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By hard2please - October 15 - 2:10 am

  The only gripe I have is this vehicle should be two inches wider and two inches shorter. I am not a boulevard cruiser and use this vehicle to get me to some pretty rough terrain here in Oregon. This is my fourth one and I will snub Mitsubishi for not keeping this line going. It is a tough truck with a quality build and it holds up well on USFS roads and trails, unlike the Endeavor, which cannot clear rocks and ruts. Who supplies the paint for these vehicles? It has a deep finish and holds up to backroad rocks. Good job on the Monteros, Mitsubishi!

  So far, so great - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By sawlman - August 31 - 1:43 pm

  The Pilot, Expedition Ltd, Sequoia and Lexus LX were our first choices. The Mitsubishi wasnt even a consideration...until we tried it. It looks great inside and out. It drives wonderfully on street and highway (have not taken it offorading where it has received most of its accolades from 4x4 magazines and intl. races). It handles well: acceleration, cornering, braking. Gas mileage is avg (14city/19hwy). Price is low. If you are looking for a mid to large luxury SUV this is worth at least a test drive. Price is very negotiable right now with SUV sales plummetting because of gas prices and Mitsubishi isnt doing well compared to other car makers. Shoot considerably below invoice.

  Gutless - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Dwyson - March 12 - 7:33 am

  The Mitsubishi Montero has no power for towing. Even small trailers are a project. Towing a single axle with 2 small ATVs we get 6 miles to the gallon on the freeway. Tthis truck is fun to drive and great off road, but if you try to tow anything you will be very dissappointed.

  Lovin my Mitzu! - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By schaefer - February 13 - 3:56 pm

  I absolutely love the way my SUV looks. I drive around town, carting my 3 girls here and there. There is plenty of room, and I get tons of compliments from males and females. My husband added some sporty wheels which really finished the look. The only complaint I would have is that the side step rail is too thin. It is harder to use than to just hop out on your own. My favorite thing about it would have to be the HUGE sunroof! I just love it, and so do the kids! We cant wait to drive it to Florida this summer.
