Agree completely! I believe the US version will have ~ 30 more hp, but will be heavier also because of our safety and emissions rules. Fit and finish can't be as awful as the author describes, it'll never sell here w/ issues like those. And it certainly doesn't do an owner any good to have incredible off-road capability if the truck disintigrates around him...


here's hoping...
