As the other GEN owners sometimes imply, welcome to the dark side.:wink2: I did it and survived and am liking it. Welcome!

Thanks guys!
Nothing bad/worse has jumped out to me yet - really enjoy it! New vehicle with new suspension certainly rides great - can tell the center of gravity is higher, but I also have a Tundra, so it doesn't strike me as anything major when I get in the 4. Love all the electronics and dash update on the '14 and newer.
If I had to find anything that made me say "I wish...," it would be that I liked having all the storage cubbys in the cargo area being behind doors, not open like on the 5th gen. Just gave a cleaner look in the cargo area.
I'll keep you updated any other observations.

Very bittersweet moment. Nothing I disliked about the 4th Gen...was just good timing on the age/mileage, and maximizing residual on the trade.

I picked up a 2015 Trail, w KDSS, 2 weeks and 1200 miles ago. I've already replaced the Dunlop crossover tires with a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3, 275 75 17s. The truck looks much better, but it did take a hit on the gas mileage. In town I'm getting 14 ish (lots of short stop and go trips).
It replaces a 99 p38 Range Rover, and for the most part I like it. My only real complaint is with the pathetic sound system you get for $38g! I've already replaced the front speakers.. big improvement. The other complaint is the lack of cubby holes to store straps and hitch receivers and the like. I have played with the crawl and surface control a bit.. once I find some nearby places, this will be fun!

I love that white. That's exactly what I want to grab and then black out the windows/wheels/tires
