I had to go to Discount Tire to get a screw pulled out of my tire on Saturday. I was waiting for them to fix my tire when I happened to see a torque chart for all cars and SUVs. I found the Montero Sport section and was surprised to see this. Montero Sport 97-98 torque 105 Montero Sport 99 torque 100 Montero Sport 00-02 torque 85 How come the torque for the 00-02 is only 85.  Steve |

i am not sure if you are driving yours around or not but when you stomp on the pedal, it really doesnt get going untill about 3500-4000 rpms, this is where the horsepower kicks in. the fact that it doenst "go" in the lower rpm range is due to the lack of torque, there are a few things you can do to help a little but you are kinda stuck with the engine you purchased, i am also just speaking from the 3.0l stand point.

Surely a M.S. has to have more engine torque than that. In fact I think the 2000 has around 195 foot lbs. of engine torque, stock. 2000utesport  |

Lug nut torque.
My guess is wheel material composition. Higher (or would it be lower?) alloy. Probably lower since "alloy" could be defined as "to lower purity or value of a metal by mixing with a cheaper metal"!! Damn, and auto manufacturers make us believe through advertising that alloys are the best. Come on, metalurgical dudes, chime in (with 2.5 cents worth, alloy speaking)...
Cheers,
Stod
