Based on the information I've seen, I think the only real advantage of the 250 is the efficiency. I expect it also has a larger cargo...

I agree that $60k seems low - This is where that weirdness I realized with Canadian car pricing comes into play. When the Gren was...

You'll be interested in the data and discussion here. I usually don't cross link forums, but I'm short on time.

It's unfortunate IMO - but those IH8mud folks are always on point. Wish we could get some of the same conversations started with the...

Hopefully a simple swap with the GX tank is feasible. The aux tank is such a pain: displaces spare tire, which then consumes cargo...

Stupid move, I agree.
