Default HELP! With 03-04 disco comparison.

I am looking at a couple of used, very low mileage (50k) Discoverys. One is an 2003 and the other 2 are 2004 models. Other than the colors does not seem to be much difference in condition or price. Can anybody tell me if there were any significant upgrades or reliabilty issues that would set these years apart?

Get a 2004 because it will have the factory CDL. It's too much trouble to add one on a 2003.

Go with the 04's, as mentioned, they have a CDL case for a lot more traction and don't have some of the bad engines produced in the 03's.
