12 material differences
Which should you choose?
We will not advise between these two machines, because their power is not stated as the same quantity on both; the drive differs (4WD; 2WD / 4WD); they were not built in overlapping years (2000–2004; 2010–2014). The figures below are side by side so you can judge them yourself; each says whether it was measured, claimed or declared by its source.
