    Nice survivor and you will appreciate the 4 wheel drive for those few times you will need it. Get the dealer to throw in the missing hubcaps!!

    Congrats on your new truck, just change all the fluids if needed and spark plugs. You have a really good truck that will serve your purpose well. Btw did u get a 4x4? If you did then if you decided to go to a different gear like 3.73 or 4.10 then it will cost more. If not then a 2 wheel drive is of course much cheaper... !!And plus you have the G80!! Good deal enjoy the new ride!
