So yeah I have taken a diferent approach to showing off the vehicle. This is what it did very well - 7,900 KM to Dawson City Yukon and back. New Paint job held up thanks to Romick running boards and a great product Magnet-bra. Do NOT go into the rough with an Oulander XLS without them - gravel spray from front wheels will take out your paint (even with mud guards) as it did last year to mine. Tows 3000lb trailer well. The comfort features are pretty good - passenger power seats would be great, and the strereo to my ear is a blast. Heading to Yellownife this summer and Bella Coola.
Great trip - interesting that the 2009 Outlander has new rocker panels to correct the problem they said didn't exist eh?
