2003 Mitsubishi Montero
The full-size sport utility vehicle, the 2003 Mitsubishi
Montero, is the largest and most powerful vehicle from
this manufacturer. This is a an SUV designed to be as
comfortable going to the opera in Paris as it is going
to the opera in Dakar from Paris, taking the shortcut
through the Sahara while you are at it.
This year it has more power, more performance features
and more handling capability than ever before. The Montero
is available in XLS and Limited models and this year
it has a third version, the 20th Year Anniversary edition,
with distinctive exterior and interior styling that
includes ebony trim.
Under the Hood
The Mitsubishi Montero has a lot of power and a large
3.8-liter V6 to produce it. With 215 hp at 5500 rpm
and 248 lb-ft of torque at 3250, the 24-valve overhead
cam powerhouse pushes and pulls as much as you need.
With trailer brakes and a Class III hitch, the Montero
will tow 5000lb.
But, that isn't the whole performance story for the
Montero. It also features Mitsubishi's Sportronic adaptive
automatic transmission, a manual shifting capability
that enables the driver to accelerate or decelerate
smoothly, shifting with your fingers. In addition, a
front stabilizer bar adds to handling capability just
as the ActiveTrac Drive System allows the driver to
switch from 2WD to AWD to part-time 4WD as needed, with
two engine ranges to select from.
Safety features include 4-wheel antilock disc brakes
as well as dual-front and front-side airbags. Antiskid
and traction control systems are standard equipment
on both models. It also has a 2-speed transfer case,
skid plates, tow hooks, a full-size spare 265/70R16
tire, fog lights and roof rails.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The Montero has a very high level of comfort. Designed
to be acceptable as either an off-road workhorse or
a luxury comfort oriented vehicle, the Montero has plenty
of interior amenities to accompany the high level of
performance. Highlights on the up-level Limited edition
include leather upholstery on heated 10-way power front
bucket seats, a power sunroof, Infinity 315W audio system,
power antenna, trip computer and much more.
Air conditioning, cruise control, tilt power steering,
power windows, door locks and mirrors, remote keyless
entry, rear privacy glass and much more comprise a portion
of the list of amenities standard on both models. Options
packages allow even more luxury detailing.
