This Mitsubishi Pajero & Montero got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1989 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4×4 is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 sourced from a Dodge Stealth and mated to a three-speed automatic transmission with a dual-range transfer case. The truck was first registered in Utah and spent time in California before being relocated to Illinois by the seller in 2015. The truck is finished in silver over grey cloth and equipped with automatic locking front hubs, limited-slip differentials, Dodge Raider badging, air conditioning, a windshield visor, and a front bull bar. The timing belt, water pump, and cylinder head gaskets were reportedly replaced approximately 2k miles ago. This Montero is now offered with headlight protectors, factory literature, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the name of the seller’s wife.

Dodge Raider badging has been installed on the fenders, rear door, and grille.

The seating surfaces are upholstered in grey cloth with patterned inserts, which are complemented by a matching dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include shock-absorbing front seats, a removable rear-facing third-row bench from a Dodge Raider, air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, and a Pioneer CD stereo with aftermarket speakers and tweeters. The seller reports the “overdrive off” button is non-functional and the third-row bench has no seat belts.
