Suspension is independent up front, torsion bar out back. The ride only gets choppy over the broken, bombed-out craters that appear this time year. A four-speed automatic is standard across the line and features adaptive shift control. The transmission adapts its shift points to the driver's driving style. In addition, there's a winter driving mode which starts the vehicle in second gear from a stop.
Tow hooks are standard front and rear and skid plates cover the engine, fuel tank and transfer case.
Aside from the engine, what separates the Montero Sport Limited from more plebeian Montero Sports is its somewhat cushy cabin. The cabin itself doesn't have as much height as you might expect, meaning some tall passengers might feel cheated of headroom. Watching traffic lights means ducking to see them. The seats are firm and supportive. The test vehicle's gray leather didn't appear opulent, but it gave the cabin an upscale feel.
