Definately listen to these guys.
97.5 and 98 are my first choice.
I'm on my 4th truck and started out with the underpowered 95. For an offroad truck, I'd look for BTM. If you're using it mainly on the street, I doubt you'll notice a big difference. Right now, I use my 97.5 offroad and my 99 for the street. I've been tempted to buy an older truck for offroad..like 93ish, but the H1 is so underpowered already with a TD. Watch ebay and trader online for great deals. I picked up the 97.5 for $24K, and the 99 for $32K. The 97.5 had a new engine put in under warranty in 6/2001.....so, they are out there. Just be ready to pounce on the deals. I'd recommend looking at the truck before you buy. Some deals are too good to pass up though. You can get them shipped to you across the country for about a thousand dollars. The only other real good info I can add is.....I also recommend you get an AAA motorclub membership for its towing benefits. Things break at the worst times. Before I had it, I got a towing bill for $378. that would have been about $60. if I had AAA at the time. I hope you find the right truck.
