Overview
1995 Mitsubishi Montero Exceed 2800 TD appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a D Class (entry-level pace) entry in the base roster. This page covers how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside the Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which roster entries it naturally compares against.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The Montero (Pajero in other markets) Exceed 2800 TD was a top-trim variant of the second-generation SUV, with a 124 hp 2.8-litre turbodiesel inline-four. Full-time 4WD with low range, locking centre differential and independent front suspension made it one of the most capable expedition SUVs of the 90s. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1995 Mitsubishi entry sits in the D Class (entry-level pace) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same D Class (entry-level pace) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 1980 Abarth Fiat 131 and 1993 Autozam AZ-1, which is the D Class (entry-level pace) peer group this car is usually weighed against. The JDM tag fits the wider Japanese setting of Forza Horizon 6, where this make tends to be a focal point of cruise lobbies and theme nights.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Second-generation Montero (Pajero in Japan) Exceed 2800 TD used the 2.8 turbo-diesel inline-four making 125hp through a five-speed manual and selectable 4WD. In D-class events on Forza's mixed surfaces the Montero is body-on-frame and absorbs terrain that ruins most road-biased SUVs; on tarmac the recirculating-ball steering and tall body limit cornering speed.
Where it shines
Use D class entries for the lowest tier of road races, learning loops, scenic photo runs, and casual lobbies where players are picking starter cars.
Tuning starting point
Tuning at this tier is mostly about tire pressure, brake balance and gearing. A small differential adjustment can already change the car a lot.
How to get 1995 Mitsubishi Montero Exceed 2800 TD
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
