The traction control based 4WD on those old Gen 3 Monteros was way ahead of it's time. It's basically what Land Rover puts in the New Defender except Mitsubishi was there 20 years earlier.

I also have a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero they’re great cars it’s been very reliable

Super Select II transmission in Montero/Pajero is almighty! : )

i have a 05 Montero limited and love it. 201,000 on the clock and runs like a champ. few issues wit the horn but it can go anywere. true about the after market but i just get things from southeast asia or oz.

Cool , we have both in the garage , and believe me the 4runner can keep up , just need a better driver

The toyota driver slows down alot and never gives it any gas.

I never liked the mk3 pajero but it grew on me very quickly, fukin impeccable offroad i have to have one

YES!!! Mitsubishi was a clear winner. I love it

In sand, tire size and montero 20psi and runer 30?

I have a Montero sport, we went to the mountains, roads were very icy, my Montero went by like nothing.

Hi, what tires and suspention are using the montero ?

@gabomil2951

Suspension

Tires and tire pressure. Thats all

where the Tyres Deflated to like 15 psi?

3rd gen pajero any better than 4th gen ?

Tires but you know that. Great video

What is up with the tires on 4Runner, they are bald or H/Ts. Not a fair comparison and I love the Montero.

What size lift and tires on that montero?

@cmartin0011

3 жыл бұрын

Theres no lift for sure. Tires perhaps tad bigger than stock.

Try putting a driver in the runner

The montero has a locking center diff, and limited slip rear diff. and about 40 more torque. You can put the same tires on both and the Montero is still going to do better. A locking rear diff was available on the 3rd gen 4runner but most likely this person didn't have it. Out of the box the Montero is going to be more capable than the 4runner in most conditions but modify both with a modest lift locking diffs and they will both do different things better. The montero with the 40 more torque and full independent suspension should always excel in the desert. Around 3:10 you can also see the mitsubishi's traction control working. The break is being applied to the passenger front tire, so instead of the power going to the wheel on the open diff with the least traction its artificially making the other wheel with the most traction the one with the least resistance. Many Montero guys give the traction control on the 03-06 monties good reviews. The montero isn't the best 4x4 out there, but its the best for 5k.

@@FirstnameLastname-ni9uh So you can't go offroad with fully independent suspension? That's a interesting thought. I wonder how the Pajero evo has won more Paris to Dakar races than any other vehicle with its independent front and rear suspension🤔.. You don't have to be rock crawling to be off roading.. Also, if you ever watch king of the hammers races(mix between rock crawling and high speed desert racing) fully independent rigs are becoming more and more popular. I kinda understand where u are coming from, but there's more that determines a vehicles capability than if it's got solid axles or not.

Gideon Steinberg i agreed to %100!! the Super select 4wd system on the mitsu is far superior than the 4wd system in the yota! Is like comparing a lancer evolution with an awd toyota corolla!

Mitsubishi is years ahead from Toyota developing ass-kicking off-road vehicles. For example, the Mitsubishi Pajero (a variant of the Montero) is the maximum winner of the rally Paris-Dakkar. So sad Mitsubishi don't sell Montero in the USA. Hope to find an old one to buy it.

I've owned both of these vehicles and theyre both awesome in their own way! If the 4runner had the "grey wire mod" done which allows it to diff lock in 4HI then it have ripped through the sand. Tell your boy to do it! It takes 15 mins and is the best !!

After a while I thought well maybe it's the driver? Anyways you go Mitsubishi!!!

It's not true tires should pressure should have been on low psi for same. Plus driver seems road driver not been offroading

I have got 2006 Montero Limited,,, that's the beast with Luxury, in this Video I think driver in the 4Runner is not locking the Differential Coz in the Montero Central Locks automatically may be that's the reason Montero is Rocking and I think Tires looks the same category in both Vehicles?

4Runner driver is inexperienced

Off-roaders paradise.

It looks like the 4runner is open diff while montero has an lsd

The 4runner is not a 4 wheel drive but in the video you claim it is.🤔 I have a 3rd generation 2002 and they are bullet proof vehicles.
