We Bought 3 Dirt Cheap Off-Roaders (And Broke Down Immediately) | Car Trek S6E5

We DARE YOU to find something cheaper than we did on AutoTempest!►bit.ly/CarTrek605
Thanks to AutoTempest.com for sponsoring this series!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In the fifth episode of Car Trek series 6, AutoTempest challenges the guys to buy off-road trucks as their last set of vehicles for their Ultimate $30,000 dream garage. And before someone asks, no - no one got a 2022 Ford Bronco. Tyler goes old school and brings a Jeep Wrangler with a weather Jurassic Park livery, Freddy brings a bone-stock Mitsubishi Montero Limited, complete with highway tires, and Ed's Porsche Cayenne has both the looks and mods to make it a serious off-roader. In theory.

As much as I love this series, IMO it would be a lot better if no one cheated with the cars they bought. Throughout every series so far there are always wild discrepancies between all 3 vehicles involved. You can have 3 totally different cars in the challenges without someone going way over budget all the time. At least it wasn't Ed again though...

[@whollymindless]

I was going to say that the cheating is definitely out of control on this one. (But all used car prices are nuts.) Although it does seem a bit fair after Ed's cheating in earlier seasons.

[@TMH_Golf]

But then it wouldn’t be a Top Gear rip off anymore… Lol but I agree. I would much prefer to actually see what 30k could actually get you. It’s not much of an ad for autotempest when half the cars were vehicles they already owned, or “bought” for a dollar. I get that they are trying to make something entertaining for everyone, but as a car guy I would prefer it if it weren’t so scripted and trying so hard to be like Top Gear. The whole car trek thing has kind of turned me off from all their channels a bit.

[@mtheoverlord7840]

For the year that they have, the jack was actually beneath the rear seat, and as for the tools I don't know the stock location, but I've always had them in a bag near the jack. I believe they changed it when they did a "redesign" of the gen three's. You are correct about the location, but if memory serves me right that is only true about the early gen three's. One way to tell is the fog lights, the early ones has a bit of a squareish shape, while the newer redesign has the circular fog lights (like in the video). I believe that they switched up the design in 2002-2003, although my numbers might be off.

This series of videos is the best commercial Ive ever watched. My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard had me rolling. Love that Porsche.

This series is competing with the grand tour and doing really well if not better with a fraction of the budget. Happy holidays!

[@cigarsgunsandgasoline8032]

One of the reasons I prefer this to the grand tour series!

[@cruisasaurus9863]

@Tavarish - It was great to hear your family story and the connection to the Montero. My Dad drove a diesel GLX Paj for over 15 years and took it all over Australia. Went everywhere my 12H-T 60 Series went and had very few issues (just a few aftermarket parts issues) and in the later years it towed a caravan around for him and Mum as well. The right rubber, a good bullbar and the right springs and shocks made it almost unstoppable. Almost 400,000kms on it now as it sits in my shed now awaiting a resto at some point.

[@lvthud]

I had pretty much the same one as Freddy, with the right rubber it's a good off roader, not in the same category as the Jeep of course, but a heck of a lot more comfortable. The only real issue was the 200hp V6, nowhere near enough power for the weight of the SUV.

[@johnmoser2689]

Tyler made me laugh so hard with his rendition of My milkshakes.... when he looked in Freddie's overflow tank Ed looked to have enjoyed that quite well too

[@ruthabigail5939]

KZbin had JUST cut for commercials before this moment and showed a sonic ad for their milkshakes and that song was playing. Then this comes back on and Hoovie sings that and I almost died laughing

[@that_jamesguy]

Great episode! Love the long special vs multiple episodes. You guys are really starting to click a la classic Top Gear! Keep them coming!

[@crowe9385]

I would LOVE to get my hands on that Cayenne. Perfect choice Ed!

[@ohioplayer-bl9em]

That Cayenne S is awesome 👍. It also has the ability to lock the all the drive wheels together. Full locker from the factory! The second gen got rid of that.

The Montero is the most underrated SUV of the last 20 years. Like if you agree.

[@shihabsadman6794]

Extreme wild offroading will take cartrek on another level. Started with race car races,long tour with crazy cheap exotics,fantastic offroading with suv's all made a perfect package. They also take us to the natural beauty and wonderful places with a lot of fun and comedy.With all above of these cartrek becomes an fantastic series. I am offering best of luck to everybody whom are involved with this great show. Love from Bangladesh. Go further cartrek... We are with you..

[@nickwarner8158]

There are a lot of beautiful areas in the US, and especially in the west where the mountains are. If you ever have the good fortune to make a trip over here its worth driving across to see it in person.

[@williamgamelisenaya793]

Wow guys, you got me hooked on you. Nuff respect ❤ Kudos Bless up 🙏🙏 Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW

[@rillip3]

I'm really impressed by Ed this time. Tyler and Freddy both cheated out of their (wallets) minds and he's still got such a good setup.

[@nickwarner8158]

Ed taught them how to do it in previous Car Treks. Now the student has become the master

[@southerntiessxs1515]

The fact they cheated and used cars they already owned made this whole thing a waste of time... let’s see them all actually follow a budget and not be douchebags

[@nickwarner8158]

the jeep 4.0 is a solid motor. I've seen them run 300-400k all day with just oil changes. Its a shame the Montero broke, its a solid and capable vehicle with a couple mods. Even with the miles on it I'd put a new motor in it all day long with as clean as the body is. The Porsche is just a hole to throw money in.

[@Revelocity]

This was my parents first "new car" too when we came to USA. (it was like 2-3 years old when they got it) I still remember this car too. Miss it. I almost got one for myself last year, but I was too worried about gas mileage. So I went to look at a Porsche Cayenne like Eds. I was a bit unimpressed... long story short...should have gotten a Montero or a Cayenne I ended up in a 2004 Subaru Forester XT... that I had for a year and sold to my dad. Now I got a 2006 BMW X5 (3.0L) that I pretty much almost completely rebuilt the motor... only has 66k miles on the clock though lol. I actually think the Jeep was the most boring LOL. Love the series! Keep them going!

[@DrakeKillah]

It just amazes me, how we actually got multiple replacements for Top Gear after the lads left. The Grand Tour has been far better than expected, although not flawless. And then you have Car Trek, which is exactly the kind of shennanigans I missed from the old Top Gear. The fact that most of the cars are used, mostly affordable cars that most of us can relate to, is such a bonus. The chemistry and rivalry between the three is just perfect, plus all the beloved "characters" that keep popping up, like The Wizard, Jared, John Temerian, just to mention a few! Car Trek has been amazing since the first episode, and I am so happy it wasn't just a one-and-done deal, we the viewers have been blessed with multiple seasons, far beyond what I would have ever dreamt would happen! I hope you keep'em coming boys! It's been one heck of a ride so far, and I'm not ready to get off yet!

[@yruhatin100]

I had 2 of those vehicles. Cayenne had many issues. But the Montero/Pajero was flawless.

[@Alex_Stowers]

Plus, if you pronounce "Pajero" with the Spanish/soft J, it sounds like an insult... "You f***in' Pajero, you!!"

[@anthony5227]

This is what top gear has evolved to. And I’m here for it. Y’all were all on point with this car trek. Funny jokes. Great content and info. Def my favorite one so far.

[@flynbenny]

Fun to watch you guys drive around in my backyard. My 3 car dream garage that I actually own, for a lot closer to $30k than Tyler Bolian's collection: 2007 MX-5 GT 6 spd , 2014 Subaru Impreza, and a 2012 Nissan Xterra Pro 4X.

[@wesdoobner7521]

One nice thing about hybrids or electrics is that they can hold the speed on cruise control going down steep hills, by recharging the batteries. Very convenient when we were recently on wolf creek pass in a hybrid Sienna, never had to use the brakes, cruise control maintained same speed WITHIN 1 MPH going up and down.

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Great entertaining series, have seen all the Car Trek episodes since you guys started making them 👍

[@hckd_2137]

The OFF-ROADERS episode (this) was my favourite by far haha

I know I'm months late to finally getting a chance to watch this season of CarTrek, but Hoovie in a YJ makes me SUPER happy. I have a '95 and I absolutely love it. YJ's are amazing. Also, hearing Freddy talk about immigrating was super cool to hear. What a neat dude.

The Pajero/Montero was one of my dad’s dream car, especially that year range. Unfortunately there just isn’t that many of them around so we ended up with a MDX

[@cruisasaurus9863]

My Dad and I travelled most of Australia, him in his Paj and i in my 60 Series. The Paj was a diesel and never missed a beat, went everywhere the Cruisasaurus went and burnt less diesel. The Paj is a great 4X4 and I am surprised to see Freddy managed to find one with a dying donk.

[@phathomthis]

I was looking for a 3-row SUV and the Montero was my top choice due to its off-road prowess, but ended up getting a Pilot instead because I wanted a fold down 3rd row, not a removable 3rd row. Still kinda wish I got it instead, only had that pilot for like 6 months before trading it in after dealing with the common transmission issues.

[@darcybowyer5743]

Coming from someone who’s family has owned a NM and NW Pajero with the 3.2 DI-D engage 4LLC and point. Bonus if you have the rear diff lock. With a lift kit, 5 speed and ESC off they can do what the big boys can do in comfort. I’m still partial to my Tdi 300 Defender because I prefer no electronics but I can say for sure a good Pajero is great off-road. Certainly popular in Australia for a reason!

[@Mitsubeasty1]

Regarding the Montero if he recently serviced the cooling the system there is air in the system causing the overheat. The rust color is corrosion from topping off with tap water instead of distilled water or coolant.
