The 3.8 with the 5speed Sporttronic transmission on the 2003+ Montero is know to get 1-2 mpg better fuel economy, than the 2001-2002 with the 3.5liter.


So he can get 13.5 to 14.5 MPG? Buying the 3.8 over the 3.5 didn't make sense to me...higher parts cost and no LSD. Buy a 01-02 Limited and you get the 5speed auto anyway.
