#5 of 2809 Full Time 4WD by mehrgott Aug 06, 2000 (2:30 am)
In the review, it says the Limited version can be shifted into an AWD mode. Is this real? I prefer the ease of not having to switch from 2WD to 4WD when the weather kicks up, and the selective 4WD that the XLS version (the only one our dealer had to show) just isn't for me. Can you leave a Limited version in the 4WD mode at all times?

The answer is yes! The Limited comes with the "original" 4 wheel drive system which is still state of the art. I can be left in an all wheel drive mode with sensors that shift the traction when needed. Again, this is only on the Limited model.... Hope this helps, Jimmy

I am planning to purchase a Montero 2001 Limited which seems perfect but for its lack of a powerful engine (i.e. a V8). I am a first time SUV buyer and I am not clear if the V8 is an essential item for a vehicle which will be off-road maybe a 2-4 times a year (Upstate NY kind of terrain normally & once in a while, a national park), never haul a boat and in most instances, would just be on cruise control on highways. Enlightenment, anybody ?

Mehrgott, IMHO, nope.

According to the info I have, Montero's AWD can be engaged at ALL times.
#10 of 2809 AWD - full time by bprof Aug 13, 2000 (9:40 pm)
Yep....has 4wd All time, 2 wd low, 2 wd hi, and 2 wd. New Durango does not have 4wd FT that can be turned off for 2 wd like the Montero LTD. That's one of many impt reasons that I bought the 2001 Monte Ltd. And very glad that I did.

I bought one this Saturday, silver limited. Love it! Well done, you can see good quality everywhere, no chip stuff, nice finish.
#12 of 2809 2001 Montero Limited by arsalan Aug 14, 2000 (5:55 am)
I bought a silver limited with rear air two weeks ago. Drives great, though wind noise seems too much. Paid 35k.

35 k out the door?
#14 of 2809 problems problems problems... by burrhead Aug 28, 2000 (7:15 pm)
I hope the first couple months of owning the '01 montero is not indicative of the future...bought my ltd the end of May (lucked out and got it for $31 and change) I've had a sensor leak gear oil, some of the cheap interior plastic break (rear seat belt retainer and child seat tether cover), now the sunroof is sounding just lovely when I tilt it up... Other than that I love the truck...the manumatic shifter is real nice on the highways climbing mountains...ie. the automatic shifting becomes a pain shifting back and forth otherwise... I have no problem with the power...and have taken quite a few lengthy trips with the vehicle fully loaded, a/c on and still getting 20 mpg...
