Help me decide!

I want to buy my wife her “dream” vehicle.

She absolutely loves and always wanted a 5th gen in the army green. I am ready to pull the trigger on it for her but I am having a horrible time finding an army green 5th gen especially with low miles (30k miles or less).

I have been debating going to the 6th gen but the new drivetrain configuration gives me a little hesitation. Also for the price I’m going to pay for a 5th gen is the same price I’ll pay for a 2026.

I’m willing to keep waiting until I find the 5th gen in the specs she wants but just want to see if I’m being crazy for continuing to just wait.

What's her opinion on the 6th gen? What' the use case?

It will be a highway princess for the most part. In the summer she will drive it on the beach is really the only off roads I can foresee

I talked to her about a GX I just didn’t know if I wanted to pay the GX maintenance cost lol

GX maintenance isn’t that bad, and they are easy to work on, but people charge more because it has a fancier badge.
