Tough question Mal,
mine, a 2000 3.5 auto, had 87k on it when I found it in 07,
now has 125k & most of that was outback touring towing a C/t. I havent had one
thing wrong with it & cant overstate what a fabulous thing it is. The only warning
I can give is re fuel use..If you boot it ,it will boot you back in the wallet. Driven
under 100kph, towing, I average 15L/100, but without constant throttle control
you wont get near this.
Mine has FWH & I believe the later models like yours do
not, & can use more fuel. Having said that, if you need power in a hurry for safety reasons, plant it & it will give you heaps. I have found the reliability,room,
power, comfort , high seating position, solid "feel" all good reasons to be happy with it. It came with a TJM Nudge Bar & lights, I have added a 140L long range
tank, Hayman Reese Towbar, overhead console & UHF, & Polyairs, running BFG
A/ts. No plans to add anything else. I hope you get as good a run as I have. No
doubt Madfisher Pete will have his two bobs worth shortly, & maybe others...
cheers....oldbaz.
