I think that the first year was 1996, only 2 models, both454. If you got a two wheel drive it was orange, if you got four wheel drive it was green. They steered hard and turning radius was large but they were built like tanks.

That's possible, I could be off a year. We started handling them where I use to work in 1997 or 98. The year be fore they came out with the 250 and 300.

Bear, what are you doing on here this time of day? Surely you have something better to do or your wife has something.

Well, according to Alpha-Sports and Browns Leasure Worlds illustrated parts list, 1996 was the first year and a 4X4 was all that was available.

Wife left for work at 7:30 and I had to be at the DAV at 10:00 and it is a 50 minute drive and I was stopping for breakfast. Sometimes life really sucks.img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I thought it was 1995, but they could have been 1996 models. Seems to me in that fall I remember seeing them.
