My PA is the 2001 coil spring model, with poly air bags fitted to the rear coil springs, the MK Triton safari snorkle is the almost exact fit for the Challenger PA model, fits up to 2005 when the PB model came out, Holden VT cargo barriers fit the truck for 100 bucks, why pay 500 for genuine ones? Mine is a daily driver around Sydney and going bush on weekends, very reliable truck, a bit low on headroom for people over 6 feet tall, but robust design, much better styling than the Pajero. My fuel was 10.5 L/pl country cycle and this dropped down ...Read more

We bought a automatic 3L 6cl 2001 Montero Sport (what the Challenger is called in South America) with 140,000km on the clock and had it for 3 months and did another 18,000km on it in that time. The new owners have done another 15k so-far, and no issues.

We converted it into a camperwagon with a foldout bed in the back that still allowed up to 4 adults to be seated and comfortably slept 2 inside. It was a great car and only needed an oil and oil filter change done as it had a major service just before we bought it.

Super comfortable to dr...Read more

Just come back from central Australia returning to SA on the odnadatta track - 5000 km round trip. Car went well on rough corrugated roads in 30-40 plus degree heat. Challenger mainly goes to Flinders ranges 5-6 times a year towing a 3 bike trailer with all the camping gear travelling on station tracks, Glad I bought manual - more power and economy. No major issues so far with 24 000 kms on clock with oil change myself every 7500 with dealer service every 15000. Have airbags and medium duty TJM springs on back.
