Independant air bag suspension and bi-Xenon HID headlights. BMW 4.4 V8 and Steptronic 5 speed auto. BMW tuners are already supercharging it!
I know you all don't favor the IFS/IRS, but for those who don't wheel hard its a damn good setup.

it's a good setup if you do wheel hard but who has 70,000 to spend on a truck to beat up? Not me. The independent suspension flexes something fierce and I guess as long as the air suspension doesn't go out it would be quite impressive offroad. Granted those big shinny rims and skinny sidewalls wouldn't be all that great but hey sometimes looking good is important And yes the engine is pretty impressive. Not nearly as much lag time on the pick up and pulls stronger than the 4.6 all day. Also seems to be built a little better just from poking around under the hood in the back shop when they brought the first couple in here in Dallas.

That thing is sick.

It WILL outwheel a stock D90 (even on the bling blinh nineteens) and handles and drives like an X5 on roids

12 years from now I will own one.

It handles itself well for being close to 3 tons, but it hardly handles like an X5.
