2006, 'cuz that's what I have and to even consider a different year better would mean I'd have to sell it and start all over!
LOL

I personally say the 05, because you're not stuck with that annoying TPMS.
TMPS ???? sorry????

I love the Eaton Tru-trac style rear diff in my 08 model. But I do agree on the better creature comforts of the newer models. The back seats in my 08 are funny at best.

The eaton is a helicoil geared style, the stock rears are a clutch disk style

They dont have the electronic simulated LSD
They dont have the weak 'sub' in the rear, or the tweeters in the roof.

But the newer ones have rearview camera in the mirror, different paint options, facelift

Its really just personal preference on these and a few other changes they made

08. has good LSD. tranny lasted til 70000 with lots of abuse and lots of dumps from 5g. universal went out cause rear seal to go out then new seal new tranny oil makes a grinder tranny. 05 to 08 has better selection of grilles and head lights and other things. but thats my opinion.

Hmmm very useful read...I wasn't aware in the LSD differences. It would definitely nice to have that! Otherwise, I very much prefer the better creature comforts of my '12. Damn I am old :laugh:
