The 4 banger in my old '97 had NO issues "keeping up" with traffic and merging on freeways . Joe

I would think that the 4wd one would be overkill and hardly ever needed for snow in your area for "commuting". Also, the 4wd has more that can go wrong with it ( in general) being more complicated/involved drive train wise. Joe

Just replaced all 3 of my blocked cats...…..Holy moly $$$ Joe

Awesome…..thanks

Hey guys, is there a way to add or modify my stock receiver for a 3.5mm aux in cable to be able to run audio from phone or ipod using the stock system?
