Front brake pads at 45,000 miles.
Rear brake pads at 70,000 miles.
This is an extremely reliable SUV that goes almost anywhere.
It is rattle free and the unibody construction gives it a very solid feel on the road.
However, I wish the motor was a little smoother and had more power.
I, too, have a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero XLS. While the vehicle has performed admirably, I have 101,000 miles on it, the accessories leave much to be desired. In particular, the wheel cover. Mine is cracked and peeling, on a 2001 vehicle? Is this common to this vehicle and is the manufacturer recalling them? The fender covers also tend to dent and chip relatively easy. I have numerous chips on all four fenders. I do love the style and performance of this vehicle, overall, but their should be better accessory quality.
