I'm particularly curious to hear from the early bird owners. I'm almost at the point of choosing the Monty for my next car but I figure I'd do some due diligence on the known issues. Minor rust and alarm issues I can live with, but engine headaches are something else entirely.

Thanks in advance!
Strada and montero share the same engine, Our 3.2 pick up never yet encounters engine problem, but some strada owners replace the SCV(suction control valve), this parts is sensitive to low quality fuel. But after replacing this parts ok na ulit ang engine mo, just choose the clean gas station.

our pickup hits 10k plus in odometer now, now NO black smoke but noisey engine nga lang, hehehe , ok na yun noisy wag lang lousy engine.

take note yun uneven height, and leaf spring annoying sound.
