While extensive plastic lower body cladding is used to accentuate the pronounced Coke bottle shape, it is tastefully done and is nicely integrated.

The rear doors are especially generous, which is quite helpful given the height of the Montero. Fit and finish is very nice, car-like rather than the typical orange peel paint so common on trucks.
