I have just bought a 2026 Trialmaster and a friend is looking at a 2023 Trialmaster with 39000km on it. It goes really well except we picked up that the transfer case is slightly noisier than my new one when decelerating from 120km/h. It's a whining noise an only when you decelerate. The dealer mentioned that the 2023 model was slightly noisier. Anyone have similar experience with the older models as my mate is really keen to buy the car.

See if the transfer case serial number has a "B" suffix as part of it.
