The 1998 Pontiac Montana was a full-size minivan that represented a significant shift for GM's minivan offerings. While the previous generation of minivans, the Trans Sport, was built upon a front-wheel drive platform, the Montana was built upon a more traditional rear-wheel drive chassis. This allowed for a more spacious interior, as well as a higher towing capacity. The Montana was available in three trim levels: Base, SE, and SLE. The base model was relatively bare-bones, but the SE and SLE trims offered more features, such as power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. All models were powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produced 170 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. The Montana was known for its spacious and comfortable interior, with room for up to eight passengers. The minivan also offered a variety of features, including sliding doors, rear-seat entertainment, and a roof rack. However, the Montana wasn't as popular as its rivals, such as the Chrysler Town & Country and the Honda Odyssey, in part because it was only offered with a V6 engine. In 1999, the Montana received a few minor updates, including a new grille and taillights. The Montana was discontinued after the 2005 model year.
