Mitsubishi Montero: Learn Me.

[Village Idiot™]

I believe it was a Montero Sport the guy at Rausch Creek was driving. It was stock except for larger tires and it was leading the beginners group through green and blue trails.

KDSS is actually a negative if you plan to mod the truck.

It's a 4th gen 4Runner rebodied and tarted up but identical underneath. 4R & GX are considered "midsize" whereas Montero is considered "full size."

I'm a huge fan of those trucks and know them well.

4th Gen 4Runner/GX are very solid. But, as stated earlier, the Montero provides more interior space and is quite a bit less expensive. Also, I am not seeing any of these 11k GX470s. Closest I saw was 11,995 but it had 175k on it.

KDSS can be lifted without issue. It's the X-REAS option on 4runners that poses a problem. I know they share the same 120 platform.

I owned a 4runner so I know a little bit about them as well.

I'm not sure what more I can say to convince you that the Montero competed in a different size class then the 120-platform Toyota's. {shrug} I guess it's irrelevant anyway so I'm not going to continue to argue about it.

Find a 6G74 montero and you can twin turbo it with 3000GT parts.

Amazing off-roasters. Drove a diesel one with a 5spd and low range, it climbed EVERYTHING.

Hopefully Montero. Montero Sports were the most dangerous vehicle sold since the Corvair.

The Isuzu Rodeo would like a word with you.

The Isuzu Rodeo would like a word with you.

I think the Isuzu Trooper / Acura SLX would make the Rodeo look invincible

I've driven a Middle Eastern Spec Pajero that was new in 2011, pretty decent truck, had an interesting center stack arrangement and a Mitsubishi logo hood ornament, always thought that was interesting.
