The Mitsubishi Montero, launched in 1982, was a groundbreaking SUV that carved a niche for itself in the burgeoning off-road market. Introduced to the United States in 1983, it quickly gained popularity for its blend of rugged capability and comfortable on-road manners. The 1987-1988 model years marked a significant evolution for the Montero, introducing a number of refinements and enhancements that further solidified its reputation as a versatile and capable vehicle.

The 1987-1988 Montero was powered by a 2.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency. The powertrain was mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, though a 4-speed automatic was also available. Featuring a robust ladder frame chassis and a potent four-wheel-drive system, the Montero could tackle challenging terrain with ease. Its suspension, featuring coil springs and live axles, provided a balanced ride that was equally comfortable on paved roads and off-road trails. Additionally, the Montero sported an array of standard safety features, including front disc brakes and a driver's side airbag, further enhancing its appeal. Though not a luxury vehicle, the Montero offered a surprisingly comfortable and practical interior, with ample seating space for five passengers and generous cargo room.
