The Mitsubishi Montero, known as the Pajero in some markets and the Shogun in Europe, is a long-running and highly regarded SUV that debuted in 1982. The 1987 model year marked a significant turning point for the Montero, as it introduced the first generation of the vehicle's iconic, boxy design and marked its arrival in North America. This first-generation Montero, often referred to as the "L-series," proved to be a rugged and capable off-roader, becoming a popular choice for both recreational and professional use. It was powered by a 2.6-liter gasoline engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission, offering a comfortable ride and impressive off-road performance. Central to the 1987 Montero's success was its robust and durable construction, featuring a ladder frame chassis, solid axles, and a four-wheel drive system with a low-range transfer case. The Montero's off-road prowess was further enhanced by its generous ground clearance, high approach and departure angles, and a sophisticated suspension system that handled uneven terrain with ease. It was available in both three-door and five-door wagon body styles, offering ample space and versatility for passengers and cargo. The Montero's introduction to the North American market marked the beginning of its global appeal, proving itself as a capable and reliable off-roader, further solidifying its reputation as a true Japanese icon.
