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

Mitsubishi Fuso targets female truckers with pink polka dot Canter

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

We take it for granted that women can enter just about any career they want now. But there are still countless occupations where females are underrepresented. You don't see too many women truckers, for example - particularly in a country that's still as deeply traditional as Japan. But Mitsubishi Fuso is showing just how forward thinking - and simultaneously, how traditional (pink polka dots are a bit 'on the nose') it can be with this hybrid pink truck.
Now for those unfamiliar, the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation has nothing to do with Mitsubishi the car company these days. Instead, it's owned by Daimler, which we know best as the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. Yet Daimler also owns a number of truck and bus manufacturers - among them Freightliner, Thomas Built and Mitsubishi Fuso. One of latter's most popular products is the Canter, the model seen here coated in the shade of Pepto pink at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The point? To make truck driving more attractive to women, of course! We're not sure it'll catch on, but apart from the color scheme - which extends, incidentally, from the cab to the box and inside the cabin - this particular Canter (which Fuso has dubbed Canna) features a hybrid powertrain that produces 130 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, paired to a 7.5Ah lithium-ion battery good for 270 volts. The whole package weighs 6,250 pounds and can carry three Japanese school girls dressed up as Sailor Moon in the front and plenty of Hello Kitty merchandise in the back.

What $40k worth of lights and chrome does to a JDM truck

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Japan's dekotora truck culture allows big rig drivers to express themselves by decking out their vehicles with a plethora of blinking lights and shining chrome. While we occasionally catch glimpses of this automotive lifestyle in the US, this short documentary called Dekotora, Another Roadside Attraction takes viewers inside the dekotora truck scene with someone who actually drives one everyday. Takuya Sosogi carries fresh vegetables between markets and claims he has covered the over 2 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) in his dekotora. He also has spent around 5 million yen ($46,200 at current rates) to make his Mitsubishi Fuso light up the night. At this point the truck has become among the most important parts of his life. Sosogi believes that taking good care of his rig is akin to looking after himself. Despite the blinking lights and polished metal, Sosogi's truck is almost subdued by dekotora standards. Some of the rigs feature lighting rigs that rise high into the sky and sport crazy body modifications. Watch the entire documentary above for a look into this fascinating Japanese automotive subculture. Related Video:
