The differences I found between Gen 2s, 2.5s to Sports are.....

Bad things about Sports IMO.
Cheaper interiors.
stamped trailing arms.
No super-select (2wd, awd, 4Hlc,4Llc)
spare tire located behind rear end. (easy to tear on rocks)
drives more like a car.



Good things.......
Same motors and trannys as Montero standard.
drives more like a car.
looks sportier
rear lift gate opens vertically.
still absolutely capable.


I was told the sports are based from the Titan pick up truck. From what I can tell the standard Montero is built much tougher than the Sports. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
