I spec'd it without the sunroofs as i have a roof rack, and without the bar/winch as I'd prefer to see what comes up aftermarket. Over the last few months I've been busy learning about...

    Australasia 2.5 tonne insurance issue with RACV in Victoria Australia

    It pays to read the fine print. RACV and many other insurance companies offer a new vehicle replacement if your car is a total write off in the first two years (as does the RACV). I questioned this and confirmed that even thought the RACV is listing its Market Value at $109k that they would...
