Comparing the Montero Sport to the LR2:
The Mitsubishi has a four speed automatic transmission and a two speed transfer case with locking differential and 265/70-16 all-terrain tires. The LR2 has a six speed transmission with a single speed Haldex intermediate coupling, an electronic traction control system and mild all terrain tires. The LR2 wins! Also, because the LR2 has less overhang on both ends it has sharper approach and departure angles so that it never dragged a bumper all day long. Even though both vehicles seem to have about the same amount of ground clearance underneath, the LR2 never seemed to hit any of the rocks with the undercarriage that the other vehicle did.
Even without having a low range, the LR2 never seemed to lack having enough torque and horsepower to climb the steepest hills. The LR2 does a very good job following my modified ’04 Discovery almost anywhere. About the only place that the LR2 would have a disadvantage would be crawling over very tall rocks as I’ve added 3 inch taller springs and 2 inch taller tires to the Discovery.
