There is a growth of followers and enthousiasts on the Montero in North America due to its availability, low price, and capabilities as overland truck. I’m following lots of hem through my Instagram. 

It might be worth enquiring via these platforms. The Montero should be the same as Pajero, as the name was the only thing that didn’t got accepted in Spanish speaking countries 😂

Its not allowed to be imported because there are not many parts in those markets for the montero/pajeros LOL but I get why they changed the name to montero if I was back home I would never buy something called Pajero

The other name for Pajero is Shogun. Montero is the smaller sibling of the Pajero.

Shogun is indeed the UK name. 

Montero is not smaller than the Pajero though, they are identical. The smaller sibling was the Pajero IO.

Just to add to the confusion, Montero Sport is called Shogun Sport in Ireland, even though it’s a totally different body style from the Shogun.

Montero sport is basically the new name for their l200 pickup based 4x4 previously kown as the Nativa. Just like the fortuner is based on the hilux pickup
