I'm pretty happy with the wagon already. I've driven about 1000 miles since I bought it. 400 Miles on a tank . . . .average MPG is 20.8 and 21.3 on the two tanks . . . driving 70 - 75 mostly hwy.
It's a 1995 with the LT1 motor 260hp with 335ft/lbs Torque. 151,400 Miles 0-60 in 7.8 seconds
V92 Tow Package
F40 Heavy Duty Susupension (Front and Rear)
G87 Level Control
GW9 2.93:1
G80 Limited Slip Diff
JA2, JA4 HD Brakes Front and Rear
V08 - HEAVY DUTY COOLING SYSTEM
It's never had a Trailer Hitch installed at least no signs of having one.

Too bad you couldn't have gotten it in green (metallic pea). For some reason, the name Griswold comes to mind...

Sure, its not a cool ride, but it is a good ride.
The 1995-96 LT-1 Chevy Caprice is still my favorite police car.......I haven't driven a Hemi Charger yet but I've sat in one and they don't have the room I need.
BS....Keep an eye on the cooling fan relay, that was the only problem I can remember with the LT-1 equiped cars, and that is not a problem as long as you are driving, just when you are sitting idling (like cops often do).

you really gonna tow with that thing?
This vehicle with the tow package is rated to tow 5000lbs
The Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with the exact same drive train is rated to tow 7000lbs.
I can't wait to test it out . . . just waiting for my new hitch to arrive. It's an amazingly smooth ride . . . and the power is awesome. The wagon has a few little leaks that I have to fix, but it's not bad for $2200 (including title, tax and registration fees).
We'll see . . . the limited slip diff works (I played around in the dirt). Not quite like having a locking diff with 4wd drive low, but it'll do.
The best part is that it cost $168 for the year to insure through AAA.
