Documenting My Journey to Buy a Grenadier in Canada

[Lexx]

We split our time between NorCal and Vancouver, B.C. My wife is from Vancouver and our kids are dual citizens. So we're up there during the major week long holiday breaks and all summer long. I hope to buy a Grenny by the time we return to BC this summer. There's a LOT to explore in the PNW. Is it easy (or even possible) to toggle the speedo between MPH and KmPH? It's easy enough to do the mental math but it's way easier to just glance at the speedo.

Apparently it’s not possible to toggle the speedo on US spec vehicles. I would assume Canadian spec are also locked to only display KM/H.

And yes, the PNW has so much to explore! My Xterra has 260,000km on the odo, so she’s certainly getting long in the tooth. And more importantly I’ve lost a degree of confidence about taking her up logging roads. If something serious broke on my Xterra 50km up a logging road, then it makes for a very long walk back to civilization. Hence the desire to acquire a Grenny!
