Despite fabled Japanese capability and reliability, and impressive backcountry credentials, the Montero remains an impressive value in an otherwise over-inflated marketplace. Today’s 1994 Mitsubishi Montero (135,000 miles) may incorporate many of the same desirable attributes as its Land Cruiser contemporary but is advertised at a fraction of the price. This hasn’t gone unnoticed with an increasing number of travelers gravitating toward the bargain Montero. Recent adventure-ready examples on our forum include this 2002 XLS, 1997, and my personal favorite, a 1998 with the Winter Package. If you’d like to deep dive into how this platform can be outfitted for overlanding, check out builds from Montana Montero and Functionally Obsolete. I’d also recommend Gondirtin’s website where they meticulously document their stunning 1999 Mitsubishi Montero overland build (including a full video tour).
From the Seller:
“I’ve used this Montero as my daily driver and work truck for the last three years. Lots of recent maintenance and a binder full of records from previous owners. Clean Pennsylvania title and inspected until 3/2025.”
