Just picked up an '09 Grey Path SE
Moderator: volvite
Thanks guys...! Not sure if the SUV will get mod...Its my wifes daily and or weekend car while out with the family...maybe some wheels at most...I like the ride coming from a lowered Subaru with stiff suspension...
What is the most common problems with the 08-09 models? I gone through this forum pretty far and can't seem to find much issues....

I bought my '08 in December from a private party with only 14k miles. I'd say the jury is out on the '08+ models as I've not seen many complaints or problems so far. Hopefully they fixed some of the common problems on the earlier models.
I likely won't do many mods either. Might try to do some suspension work as my commute is 60 miles of twisty hilly roads. Handling isn't too bad but it floats across some of the dips and there's also some "hop" in the suspension over certain bumps. Not quite as drilled down as my Tundra was although it does handle better in the tight corners.
I'd also like to improve the headlamps which are mediocre at best and additionally catch a lot of road slop. I'm running with a lot of coal buckets and such so the roads are very dirty anytime it rains/snows and my headlamps become nearly useless. I don't know if it's the shape of the front-end or what but I usually have to stop and clean them off before heading home at night. I've thought about adding washer nozzles to the headlamps but that's a summer project for sure.
