Re: Oops
Thing about the 250, it has just barely enough passenger room for the family
(3 kids, 2 dogs); we traded the wifey's minivan for the Explurgin' , so we could have enough pass room and the towing capacity of the 250 in the same vehicle.

Re: Oops
Well it will have first model year bugs, but after a couple of hundred hours
red faced screaming at service representatives, they will all be fixed. Then you or you heirs will have the vehicle your wife wants.
