    best year for Montero 1999?

    15 mpg fully loaded with 35s still isn't bad with an 80 you would be looking at 10 mpg. Are you running stock gearing? I don't plan on 35 s even on my 80 I'm running 255/ 85 /16 and they are all I need.

    Also @ 4d55 my wife and I just went on a huge California adventure in her 09 jetta tdi wagon and i totally agree it's a great expo vehicle! the 39 mpg and power in the mountains is amazing. It's a incredible vehicle no doubt
