Not biased. I based my opinion on the research that I have done. This I why I decided to buy the 2003-06 Montero . 2001-02 models dont have the stability control system and the three point seat belt for added safety. The 01-02 has the 3.5L engine but for just a slight bit more money I went for the 03-06 model(3.8l 215hp) which gives me more power.
I looked around the net and noticed way more 01-02 used montero's than there were the 2003-2006 Monteros. I wonder why? But by far I saw way more Montero sports looking to be sold than full sized montero's.

Hello,
I'm a newbie here and wanted your views on buying a used Montero 03. Thanks in advance for your help.
1. Is it a good choice ( over 4runner)?
2. Is it easy to maintain ( are parts available and easy to get, expensive)
3. What should I look for before buying one? Red Flags etc
4. Are there any travel blogs fordrive trails where the Montero was used?
I look forward to joining the camp and am excited.
