Can't Order Appearance Pkg w/ Off-Road?
I am being told by my dealer that I can't order the the appearance package and the off-road package together...
I only want the 19-inch wheels that come with the appearance package.
So,
cost of Appearance package = $1,100
cost of 19-inch wheels separate = $1,996
I pay $896 more for less equipment? That's crazy...

Almost every shop now has take off 19" wheels. I know in Arizona Schumacher has tons of them, as they make good profits with bigger chrome after-market wheels. Try your dealer and see if they have some take offs first....

My understanding is the offroad suspension is built for the 18" wheels. I asked if I could put 19" on w/ the offroad and had three dealers say they couldn't order it, but I could likely go after market.
Then I wondered about when it hunkers down at highway speed - would it rub or not? I haven't heard yet why you technically can't get 19" w/ the off road. Call MBUSA and ask and let us know. -cjd

My NON Off Road also 'hunkers down' at highway speeds and has 19" wheels, and I have also seen someone at the dealership with a 450 with 22's - and he said he doesnt have a problem....
That being said, there is always Murphy....
