Which Montero is the BEST?!

If I'm not mistaken the gen 1 first appearance was in 1981... The fact that you own the 3 generations assume that you are a truly pajero lover. Great video. 👍👌😉

Why 90s japanese diesel engine dont use direct injection?

Can You Make Buyers Guide of Gen 1. Montero

Can You Buy Another Montero

Nice video. I had a 1987 Mitsubishi Montero, Now I want another but leaning toward gen 2 now.

Underrated very informative

You talk about the gen 2's auto transmission being kinda crappy.
Id like to know your opinion on the gen 2 manual 5spd transmission.
I just bought a pretty nice 1995 from my neighbor for pennys and its the 5 spd manual.
It runs amazing.
Id like to camp and do some moderate dirt road passes with it but your video kind of scared me about the trans/power.
Would the 5spd be a better bet for what id like to do?
Not looking to go rock crawling in it.
151k miles on the clock. Timing, etc done.
Any input from anyone would be appreciated.
Im a little new to these. Typically building Landcruisers

Thank you for the great info on these rigs. I have a 95 sr 3.0 12 valve. I believe that has the same engine as the gen 1 .Can these vehicles go into limp mode? It won't shift past 2nd gear and now it's hard to start.

Cool video bro

Is the gen 1 gear box interchangeable with the gen 2 gear box?

Awesome video! So detailed and informational - answered every question I could have ever thought to ask about these vehicles.

Gen II was the mainstay of the Puerto Rico Police for many years.

I wish that Mitsubishi would bring back a badass off-road Montero and a super-fast 3000 GT VR4...

Hi from Thailand i have 2 Pajero Sport 2013 and 2024!
Excellent vehicles!😊

Gen 1 is clone to the Dodge Raider that is also made By
mitsubishi and Dodge combined

I have also had Mk 3 x Mk 1. 2 x MK2. 2 x Mk3. The best was the MK 2, with 2.8 diesel. I like the DiD 3.2diesel in the MK 3 but it is no longer tough like the Mk 2. Still a great long trip cruiser which gets through even tough conditions. I estimate I have driven 1.5 million kilometers or more in Pajeros.

nice one brethren.

getting a gen one love the look

Hello, Good night , I'm from Panamá 🇵🇦 and I have Mitsubishi Montero Mod.96 four Doors and never for sale is excellent car good video...Greetings

Very good video, you may talk about the transmition of the three generations, in the first years mitsubishi used aisin transmitions and later began to use jatco, but later in 2009 they returned to use aisin

I didn’t know there was people who liked Mitsubishi vehicles

I'm planning to buy a 2008 Montero/Pajero 4th generation with 3.2 DiD 170 hp engine. Any pros and cons about that?

it is worth saying that the fisrt couple of years of the 3rd gen montero, the engine was not the 3.8 but another version of the 3.5 DOHC v6.

Hi, Monterro (or Pajero here in Australia) owner of a gen 2.5,

Having it in Manuel (still with the 3.5 v6) really helps, it’s a bit of a slush box on the road, but 1st and 2nd gear are very short and crawl very well.

I’m lucky I picked up mine for only 2k, such a tough car

I'm looking at a 95 SR right now. After watching this video I think I need it.

I've had a pickup with the 2.6 liter and the damn thing was bullet proof. Never had one issue with it. I like the fact that the interior is simple.
LOVE the window vents miss that feature as a whole. As far as road trips go i see no problem with taking the Gen1 road trips aren't a race, its about the trip not how fast one gets there.
Yes, im the older generation lol.
Love your video!

Do they make trailers that have like a motor and brake system that can hook to your cars computer through the light connections and make it where you can tow more ?

Can you weld something like pure steel bars across the back of the car so you can just smash anything and it has no effect at all on anything when you depart off something off-road and smash the back ?

What would a ‘97 go for right now? I found one with 150,xxx miles, the guy’s asking $6000, that’s to much for a stock one

いいね👍

Just what I was looking for! For 5 years 😢, thank you!!!

Brilliant comparison mate I enjoyed that.
I love all Monteros, or Pajero’s in Australia where I’m from.
The gen 1 & 2 are my favourite, they look great too

Wow! What a thorough comparison. If you can make other videos, on say the Land Cruiser you can save people a lot of headaches and while getting some likes.

Definitely have to go with the 2nd generetion, not just it’s pros but the looks of it too

Looking to buy either a $4000 Gen 1 or a $2700 Gen 2 thanks for the video it really helped

What about Gen 2.5...? 1998-2000.

Edit you forgot the 3.5L v6 engine. That was in the second gen and 2.5 gen.

Man I just want to find someone with the same passion as you but for the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban that can give me this kind of explanation… thanks a lot… I learned a lot…!

Awesome video.

Just picked up my first Monty, a 95 LS. Thank you for the indepth video, it helped greatly in making a decision, and lack of available choices in my area was the other (western Nebraska.) Runs, great, unknown mileage on timing belt so ordering that kit from Luso here this week. Thanks, and keep the content coming!

when we are looking for a car comparison, this is what we need!

Really appreciate this video. I daily a gen 2 coming up on 200k now and loved comparing it to my pops ‘87 Dodge Raider

I’ve seen the 2 latter models working as a Mitsubishi tech, hate how little excitement the new Mitsubishi lineup offers 🫤

Good video.

Tengo que felicitarte por este video, muy objetivo y sincero en todos los puntos.
Tengo uña Mitsubishi Montero 1986, 4 cilindros, motor 2.3 diésel, y aunque no es el carro más cómodo, o lujoso, ningún otro carro me había sacado una sonrisa como este. Cada vez que salgo con el, es una aventura.

Gen 4

Man this is a very informative video. I’ve been looking for a gen 2 for a few weeks now.

Is there any common issues that you are aware of with the gen 2. I know you have to stay on the timing belt every 60k miles, oil changes, but as far as wheeling in dusty areas are their any sensor issues, common failures like wheel bearings or cv axles that you know of ?

That fan isn't going to pull any air thru the radiator while the vehicle is stopped or moving slowly without the fan shroud.

The transmission sucks in stock form. But it is the a clone of the AW4 in a gazillion Jeep XJ's. Reliable as hell and it is modifiable.

About to get a 2005 with the GDI engine. Any thoughts on maintenance for that engine? Thanks

Great information
