Mitsubishi Montero Gen 2 - Why Is This One Of The Most Desirable Cars To Buy? 

Would love to see this Montero cleaned, fixed and detailed. These are great machines with a rich heritage. I own a 1998 with the winter package and my wife owns a 02 Limited.

I used to own one 95 ls and still like to have one again. One of the best 4x4 and have used it in the pacific northwest in deep snow and never got stuck.

Virtually no maintenence for 26 years and still running strong 😎

I love my second gen SR. it is a tank, I've lightly modified it and its been fun. Check the cooling system thoroughly if you're gonna get one. Mine was a nightmare situation, luckily I'm a mechanic.

I have a 1998 NL 2.8 diesel, 500,000k on the clock still running sweet.

The rear diff lock switch only in high-range and low range (HLC/LLC) I've been driving and fixing mine for 5 years (it's a 98') with the 3.5, the UK owner's club is a great place for advice

you are driving a TANK.... love those PAJERO/MONTERO

I just got a 95 Montero LS, they are great off road starter vehicles. Thanks for sharing yours hope to see what you do next.

Make your grand pa happy and your followers. Restore this truck. Those Pajero’s are just culture like patrol & land cruiser. Greetings from Switzerland

Hello. I have a 1998 3.0 24 valve. It’s got 261756 miles and still going strong. She’s had her timing belt changed 4 times with the water pump and timing belt kit. Oil change done at 6 months. Brakes pads and rotors as needed. I also used her as a rescue vehicle since I did EMS volunteer work. All in all, she’s got what it takes and them some. 🚑🇵🇷

In all my years of owning and working on Pajero's (Australian here), I've never heard of them having issues with the automatic gear selector, the more you know 😅

Pls pls pls pls restore this for your grandpa. I would kill to see the end product and his reaction!!!!

thank you so much here bro, planning to have one.

Hello greetings from Panama Canal Central America, I have Montero mod.94 5 doors, Gasoline is great 4x4, and very good vehicle..

Monteros (Mitsubishis in general) get a bad wrap for being unreliable BUT its mainly because of owners neglect. I worked for Toyota for years and they suffer the same fate if neglected. Even though they get neglected...they will last longer than other vehicles of similar history, age, and use. Once you get the maintenance issues sorted out...they are extremely fun and reliable.

Love the Montero! might need a bit of work, but if it makes memories then go for it! a new Rig like that is 50K + to buy, you can buy second hand, but if you like it, I'd say go for it, I am in your shoes, I got a 1996 Tahoe 2dr I want to fix up!

"hopefully the problem will..uhh...fix itself" - yah no. You're definitely going to have to fix it. But the car is worth it. These are great vehicles. Save it from the very un noble death it is currently headed toward. I love the end of the 1st gen bc they had the auto air lockers along with the non-interference engine. they will ALWAYS .....ALWAYS cost a small fortune to fix up. But when I say small fortune I mean "around 4k" on average to bring it from the verge of death to a comfortable state - but you will be well rewarded for your efforts. Hope this guy stuck with it and decided to invest in his - but if he didn't It's easy to understand why. But with the cost of ownership of a land cruiser or 4runner getting so high, I think these are amazing alternatives that do all the same stuff at a fraction of the cost - plus i'm just now starting to see these going up in value. I've seen several 1st gens listed for 8-10k and the 2nd gens still sitting firm at 10k (rebuilt - cosmetic or mechanical restore - haven't seen both yet but I'm sure when people do start doing that it'll fetch at least 12k)

I have a 1994 Mitsubishi Montero Sr with 204,455 miles. They are great vehicles. However, the shifter sticks making it difficult to shift. Could this be what you were talking about?

These cars are bulletproof

Amazing rigs.

Just bought mine hahaha a month ago a gen 2 Swb 👌

BTW, 4WD was not optional on any Montero. They all are 4WD. There are different options for the 4WD depending on the year.

I own a 1992 pajero and still no engine problem.

Oil leaking from the head onto the manifold?I think it still has low miles for what it is.

Gen 2 ❤️

Nice truck.

Diesel versions are the greatest

Fun Fact: In some Spanish speaker countries, Pajero stand for wanker.

I have 98 gen 2.5 winter package. I've spent a couple hundred keeping in running but the original owner didn't maintain it very well. Additionally, did you have the truck in Llc or Hlc when trying to turn the locker on? If not, it won't engage at all. It won't even try.

I’ll detail it for your grandpa

What are the model years for these second gen Mitsubishis ?

So, it's been a year. What happened?

How much is it over there?

I'm fat

Despicable cars to buy!

Mitsubishi piece of trash

Airbags might be low on air
