Might be a stupid question, but how do I know which I have. Just bought a 1997 used and was told it was a sport. I was just enlightened by a poster in another thread of mine that there is not a sport LS however when I Google it comes up.
What are the differences to compare?
Thanks

There's both a 1997 Montero LS and the Montero Sport LS the Monty LS has a 3.5L engine and the Monty Sport LS has a 3.0 The Montero came in a LS and SR The Montero Sport models were ES and LS and XLS the ES had a 2.4 engine and the LS and XLS had a 3.0 engine. So in a nut shell a 97 Montero LS has a 3.5 and a Montero Sport LS has a 3.0  |

Thanks for the help. I have come to realize I do not have a Sport. However, how do you determine the engine size? Nothing is listed on my engine.  Thanks Jim |

On the vehicle ID plate on the firewall, it will say what type engine it has: the 3.0L is a "6G72" and the 3.5L is "6G74"
