Curious - does 'OKTB' refer to a number of vehicles ready to go, or that there is a quality standard that has been achieved - like a certificate of occupancy for a new home?
Living in NC, a lighter interior is far better than a dark one. I've ordered an AWD version. I currently drive a Subaru Forester and find that AWD seems to be a bit safer during heavy and and the occasional hurricane. For me, the distance hit is worth the peace of mind.
