The Mitsubishi Montero, introduced in 1984 as part of the L040 Series, represents a significant entry into the compact SUV and off-road vehicle market. This rugged vehicle, known for its body-on-frame construction and capable off-road performance, was engineered with reliability and utility in mind. Early models featured a 2.6L SOHC Inline-4 engine, available with either multi-point fuel injection or a carburetor, and offered a choice between a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, coupled with either rear-wheel drive or a part-time 4WD system. Its practical interior and durable design made it a strong contender against contemporaries like the Jeep Cherokee and Toyota 4Runner, establishing the Montero's reputation for durability and its 'go-anywhere' image, further solidified by rally successes.
