80 Series LandCruiser Vs. 2nd Gen Montero SR 

Completely fair assessment. I do really like LCs....but Monteros checks all the marks for me. Either or...they are both great platforms.

Montero all day.

Great video! I had the 93 black Montero 5spd in 2015 but was hit and totaled. Miss that beautiful machine. However, I bought a 91 LC and these are amazing vehicles. You are right on point with the specs and thank for this video. (Was looking into buying another Montero, as a second runner, so that's how I found your video). Cheers!

ANY TRUCK MITSUBISHI, TOYOTA AND NISSAN MADE BEFORE 2000 ARE MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN ANYTHING MADE AFTER 2000. MY 100 SERIES LC BLEW IT'S AUTO TRANSMISSION AT 245K MILES (FACTORY DEFECT: O/D BEARING FAILURE). OUR 1990 LN106 HILUX IS KEEP RUNNING: THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE TRUCK EVER MADE. IF YOU MAINTAIN ANY CAR (MITSU, TOY, NISSAN) MADE PRIOR TO 2000 WILL RUN FOR EVER

I just picked up a Gen 2.5 Montero a few months ago. While pretty popular overseas, they seem to go under the radar here and thus prices are actually quite nice.....IF you can find one. I was just looking for a general small 4X4 SUV like a Cherokee and lucked into it without knowing what I'd found. Mine has 171K, general consensus seems to say the motor should last 250-300K, as long as you change the timing belt every 50-60K. Valve seals are also a known issue, but shouldn't be a deterrent. Coming from a 1/2 ton Chevy, I definitely feel just a little claustrophobic in the Montero, but the more I drive it the more I like it. Mine has a 2" lift and 33" BFGs, and I haven't been offroad yet but I feel it would be capable and tough enough to go wherever I wished. Happy with my purchase? Yes I am.

If you own a Landcruiser, its not for the gas milage.

Both are beautiful and extremely capable vehicles. I like the Montero more, however I recognize that the Land Cruiser is probably better build and might possess a higher quality.

my first car is a Montero 1992 i got it 3 months ago and i am very lucky that there is no rust

I think the battery voltage meters are something to do with the winter pack, so you can keep visuals on voltage drop in cold weather/countries?

Ill pick the montero

Montero!

Do you know if the montero has a decent towing capability? I’m considering moving out of state and was wondering if the montero could handle towing a car?

Montero 3.0L 177HP 188 torque. Landcruiser 4.0L 212HP

Let me know if you are selling the Montero 😊

They Best , Mitsubishi Montero

Well put free wheeling hubs in the 80 definitely improved fuel efficiency. Ten fold

The fact that the montero can be driven in rwd mode does nothing for the mpg. This myth has been debunked over and over. Even in rwd mode, the front axles and diff are still turning thus creating drag. If you could unlock the front axles from the hubs, the story would’ve different.

So I’m considering finding a 2nd g montero. I know it won’t get to 85mph. Very quick but can you coast at 85 once you get there?

Montero 👌

Having owned both and both were also 1997 models. And both in diesel. The 80 series was fitted with the 1HZ 4.2 litre straight 6. The Pajero (which i still own) fitted with the 4 cylinder 2.8 turbo intercooled motor. Yes the cruiser was bigger. But also way more expensive to run and maintain. And don't believe that bullshit about Toyota reliability! They do break down and do so expensively. The reason i still own the Pajero. Oh and Pajero is way more capable off road.

Montero 🔥

which bumper is that on LC?

Gen 2 ❤️❤️

6:00 rip the mats bruh
