Is it kind of unfortunate that the gas engine option does not allow for the optional electronic shift-on-the fly (ESOF) 4×4 activation that is available on the diesels. The “gassers” require a manual floor lever for 4×4 activation. Kind of disturbs the front console layout. Seems somewhat antiquated but I’m sure there is a logical reason why ESOF can’t be provided – I just haven’t heard it yet.
