Hello all! Been a while since I have lurked these forums, and now I find myself very close to buying a new MQ (sold the ML about 4 years ago *sob*) and was hoping those that had gone before me could offer some sage advice on the following questions (and to the admins, YES I TRIED SEARCH FIRST, WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM? A NOOB!???)
1) Have the tonneau issues been rectified? I know there was alot of angst about the rivets pulling out, dealer tells me its a non event now, but who believes anything a dealer tells you?
2) Looking to jump straight to 265/70 BFG's, who has fitted bigger rubber on standard MQ suspension and how big can you go with no scrubbing? Seems some have gone 285 and trimmed mud flaps?
3) EGR - I see other threads on EGR and it may not be the big issue it once was, still, has anyone fitted a "fix" and were there side effects?
4) Seats - Back in the ML we had to pack washers under the front seat mount to help make the drivers position more comfortable over long runs.....MQ seats feel very similar, has anyone got experience attempting the same mod to the MQ?
5) Lastly, does anyone in Brisbane/Gold Coast want to nominate a dealer they have had a good experience with when buying recently? Anyone....?
All going well I will be back in a Triton and back on these forums in the next few weeks
Cheers
