The truck for sale is a 1997 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4x4. These are getting hard to find and becoming quite sought after ( this is no common Montero Sport  )

This truck has a 3.5L V6 , automatic transmission and super-select 4WD.
Clean Texas title under my name. Drives straight and smooth down the road. Its 100% dependable and runs like a champ ,Texas inspection and registration are good until 2015. It has all new O2 sensors , new alternator , new battery , new ignition switch and a new starter. Timing belt was done at 120K miles. There are no check engine lights , no warning light of any kind. It has 170K miles and is driven daily. I have another 1996 Montero SR so I am an enthusiast of these trucks and this one has always been very well taken cared of. It's been my faithful daily driver for two years and its never left me stranded. These trucks are known for their toughness and dependability. The engines can run well into the 300K+ miles with proper maintenance. 
Super select 4x4 systems works exactly as it should. It engages in and out out of all the modes perfectly fine and functions perfect. 
It has power windows ( one of the rears stick ), power locks , power mirrors , power steering , cold AC , hot heater , tinted windows , a HUGE working sunroof , dual airbags , CD/MP3/USB Pioneer radio with upgraded component speakers , rear window wiper , and all basic creature comforts you would need. I have a set of side steps that go with the truck as well. 
Interior is 100% there and functional. It has cloth seats in very good shape. Overall I would say its a good 8-10 inside.
It has seating for 7 (3 rows of cloth seats) The third row of seats can be folded out of the way for extra storage. Removed completely if not needed or left in for lugging the whole family around.
The truck comes with a set of 245/75/15 with less then 5000 miles / 2 months on them. I've got the warranty and receipt for the tires. (the tires pictures with the snow are All Terrains that will not go with the truck)  33s will fit on this truck as is with no modifications or parts. 35s fit with little work.



Now like any 17 year old vehicle this truck is not perfect. Lucky these issues don't effect you much.

1) Cruise control does not work. I think its just the switch because it does not light up when you push it.
2) Small dent on the front chrome bumper and a quarter size dent on the front right fender.
3) Paint on the hood and roof is not as nice as the rest of the truck. Looks like the previous owner tried to color match paint with a rattle can. It doesn't look horrible but it worth mentioning.
4) Burns about a qt. of oil every 3000-4000 miles ( leaky valve guide seals are super common on these ) Doesn't harm anything or effect how this truck runs.

That's pretty much it.
This can easily be a A to B vehicle to drive to work everyday but I think it deserves to be in the hands of an enthusiast who will take it to more then just the mall.
I've taken this truck to Colorado for vacation with my family 3 times already without a hiccup. It wheels in the snow better then anything I've ever driven. Eats up trails with the best of them. 
I feel completely confident that you can get in this truck today and drive it home anywhere in the country without any issues.

Truck is located in Shepherd , TX (45 minutes North of Houston)
I am not responsible for transportation of the vehicle if the buyer is not local but I'd be glad to help as much as I can.
Truck does not come with license plates if buyer is not local.
Title is clean and under my name. I will also include a professionally typed bill of sale.

Feel free to message me with any questions.
Thanks

Fiat taps Mitsubishi for European pickup

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Mitsubishi is often derided in the US for its relatively boring lineup, Lancer Evolution aside, but the company is on the upswing worldwide, recently posting record global operating profits. The Japanese automaker may get a further boost in the near future from a rumored pickup truck deal with Fiat.
According to insider sources speaking to Automotive News Europe, Mitsubishi would reportedly build a variant of its widely respected L200 pickup truck for the Fiat Professional brand in Europe and Latin America starting in 2016. The L200 is larger than the Fiat Strada front-wheel-drive pickup already available in those markets, and it's available in rear- and four-wheel-drive configurations. The idea of adding a midsize truck to the commercial lineup was in the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles five-year plan, but it didn't include any mention of a partnership to build it.
At first blush, the Mitsubishi agreement seems like an odd move, given that Fiat already owns pickup truck specialists Ram. However, according to ANE, the company had at one time planned to use a version of a new Dodge Dakota pickup for duty in Europe and Latin America, but the model never came to fruition.

Mitsubishi Concept G4 leaves us feeling blue

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

To say we were unimpressed by the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage that debuted in New York earlier this year would be one heck of an understatement. So pardon us for not oohing and aahing over the Concept G4 that we're seeing for the first time here in Shanghai. It is, basically, a Mirage sedan. Try to contain your excitement.
Mitsubishi states that it intends to roll out the production version of the G4 Concept globally, powered by a 1.2-liter MIVEC engine mated to a continuously variable transmission that should at least be good for some substantial fuel economy gains. The Mirage, after all, is rated at 37/44 miles per gallon city/highway. We're also told that the car will be very lightweight, and that this should aid in making this thing not drive like a total dud.
We'll wait and see how the relatively sharp lines of the concept transfer to production form, but given that we already know what the Mirage looks like, we have a pretty good feeling that we'll be just as underwhelmed the second time around. Have a look below for the press blast.

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer to shrink

Wed, 24 Oct 2012

The aging, oft-forgotten Mitsubishi Lancer won't get a replacement until sometime in 2014, but a new report states that the next-generation model could be a relatively drastic departure from the car you see here. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation President Osamu Masuko told Australian site The Motor Report that the new Lancer will be smaller than the current car, going in a different direction than the vast majority of other automakers.
"The new Lancer will be a very new car, and will be sized somewhere between the current model and its predecessor," Masuko-san told The Motor Report.
There are both pros and cons to this decision. On the plus side, a smaller car means the Lancer will likely have a weight advantage over other vehicles in its class. That said, Mitsubishi will need to find ways to maximize interior space and create efficient packaging in order to still have its compact sedan remain competitive with strong offerings like the Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus and so on.
