If budget is not a problem, I'd go for the Montero. But there are still Mitsu dealers still trying to use stock shortage (real or staged) to squeeze potential customers so be wary of whom you buy from.

Everest has a very truck like driving experience that is exagerrated by the long hood and seating position. Having an umbrella type parking brakes does conjure memories of the venerable L300 versa van. The ridiculous buldge (the spare tire case) makes a difficult vehicle even more cumbersome and a handful in tight spaces.

But I did notice that Everest has thicker and more solid metal body sheet. And for a 4x2, it is the only one in the market to have LSD.

Re: 2nd row seats
Everest - It has the longest legroom in it's class, but it is comfortable for short passengers whose height are about 4.5 ft or less because floor is not low enough to accommodate long legs.
Montero - It has less legroom, but due to a lower floor, even passengers who are 5.5 ft tall can sit comfortably.

Re: looks
Everest - conservative, very presentable at family & church gatherings, & other 'decent' stuff.
Montero - looks great even in motels, massage parlors, ktvs etc, a great way to pick up members of the opposite ***.

The 4x2 has back-up sensors (optional) that make up for the spare-tire thing.

The Everest steers better, has more power, and is possibly more capable off-road.

The Montero rides much better, though... much, much better.

Interior quality between the two, I'd give it to the Everest, but the Montero's seats are better.

everest kana..mas maluwag sa 3rd row, ito pinag basehan namin nung pinipili palang namin ang eve vs monte..so in the end winning blue everest ang nakuha namin 4x2 AT.

personally though i'd go with sta fe. (ayaw ng tatay ko ang looks buset!!)

For rough roads & off-road use, I'll go for the Everest due to it's no nonsense 4 wheel drive, limited slip differential, and rear leaf spring suspension. I don't advise using the Montero for off-road use due to its 'how siao' 4 wheel drive.

But for city use, with it's occasional humps, the rear coil spring suspension of the Montero helps a lot in making it a better ride.

Likes the 2010 Ford Everest engine specification and interior features.

Sir hindi "how siao" ang 4WD system ng MS. It is the same with the Pajero/Strada and proven na yan sa Dakar rally. It is the first to offer shift-on-the-fly 4WD system up to 100km/h and vice-versa which was revolutionary at that time.

"Super Select 4WD (SS4) [known as ActivTrak 4WD in some markets] and multimode ABS, which were firsts on Japanese four wheel drives. SS4 was ground-breaking in the sense that it combined the advantages of part time and fulltime four wheel drive with four available options: 2H (high range rear wheel drive), 4H (high range fulltime four wheel drive), 4HLc (high range four wheel drive with locked center differential and 4LLc (low range four wheel drive with locked center differential). Another advantage of this second generation system is that it gave the driver the ability to switch between two wheel drive and fulltime four wheel drive at speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mph)" - from wikipedia
