I'm new to this site but in the last week have been reading and getting some tips and good info.
Well, yesterday I broke down and ordered up a New 2012 GC Overland, in Brilliant Black, with New Saddle/Black interior.
(the pics on this site also helped me choose the colours)
My biggest debate was choosing the V8 over the V6. I wanted the good gas mileage, but was concerned about pulling, etc.
And I noticed that the Quadra-Drive II came with the off-road pkg, AND the V8.
Okay, so in that case, I ordered the V8.
Then late last night I was reading a bunch more posts and found out that they have discontinued the ELSD, and in effect I will only be getting Quadra-Track II. Some guys here have cancelled their 2012 orders, and getting 2011's instead.
So my question, again, is have I made a mistake to order the 2012?
My off-road use is going to be very limited. However where we live (southern Ontario), I have to climb winding snow covered roads so AWD is my biggest priority.
Would the QD II have helped on-road? or is really just for off-road?
I want to feel good about my decision to buy the GC Overland, but right now, I'm not so sure.
