Greg:
I ordered my '97 about this time last year. I ordered a SLT with all of the
options EXCEPT the electric windows and overhead console, bucket seats and
wide tires. Since you plan to tow, I recommend the V8 automatic, towing
package and all the rest of the heavy duty stuff. If you're planning on
towing your tractor into fields, 4x4 would come in handy.
Check out the 'Kelly Blue Book'(USA) web site for all the options and
packages, figure out which combinations of options you want (note all the
option numbers), then go for prices. Try out the auto brokers....I did and
it was much cheaper than the dealers.
I discovered that it was cheaper to buy the SLT with a few options I didn't
really need, than to build up either a Sport or a Base model. Don't bother
trying to convert the $US to Canadian to figure out what it will cost as
pricing is not the same ... cheaper in Canada :).
Happy shopping.
