'03 OR '04 100 Series??? Decisions...decisions
Sorry up-front if this has been beaten to death, BUT, I'm looking at the 100 series for a DD and to retire my 80 to trail / camping / weekend off-roading duties. Anyways, I'm really fond of the '03 thru '04. I especially like Silver ones...ahhhh yummy. What are the differences and what options should I look for etc. etc.? Lastly, what is the expected gas mileage from a stock cream-puffer as I don't plan to alter it...much? Thanks again...

According to Slee's newbie guide linked in the FAQ, there doesn't appear to be much appreciable difference between the 03 and 04.

I rented a Prius with a reverse camera once, but it was insanely hard to drive around in reverse just looking in the camera display so I ended up going back to looking over my shoulder. __________________ -- '01 LC - Champagne Pearl '96 328is - Alpine White -- Dearly departed - '88 FJ-62 |

It's not for that. In fact, in the manual, they specifically say NOT to try to reverse using the camera view alone. Its intended purpose to to see objects (such as children) that might be sitting down low behind your truck but out of view of the mirrors, so that you know they're there BEFORE you back into/run over them! When we were looking at trucks we were also thinking about starting a family at the same time, and I specifically waited another year for the '04s to come out because I wanted the camera. Also, the Bluetooth phone integration is I believe not available on the '03, only '04+. __________________ Derek Lee `63 Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG (404.115) `64 Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG (404.114) `81 Mercedes-Benz 300GD (460.333) `90 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R129) `02 Saab 9-5 Aero `04 Toyota Land Cruiser (UZJ100) |
