Question for Touring and Limited folks: If you’re planning on swapping to 18s, what would you be getting?
I’ve been scouring FB marketplace and Craigslist for 18s from the Solterra or bZ, but haven’t found any in my area. Any good aftermarket wheel and tire combos recommended?
Hey everyone - on paper this looks like a no-brainer, butI’m torn between two XRT deals and need your take on the trade-offs.
Option A: New 2026 XRT
• Price: ~$44,800 OTD (after $8,750 rebate).
• Pros: Clean history; 5.99% financing with HMF.
• Cons: 2026 "de-contenting" removed the power-folding mirrors and the sliding "Universal Island" console.
Note this dealer is 2+ hours away from me.
Option B: "Used" 2025 XRT
• Price: $42,184 OTD (140 miles).
• Pros: Includes the sliding console, Bose audio, and power mirrors missing from the '26.
• Cons: CARFAX shows a full Inverter replacement at just 20 miles (dealer says it was a PDI warranty fix, not a Lemon). It doesn’t look like it was ever sold to anyone, likely punched by the dealer to meet quotas?
• Financing: Standard used rates (approx. 6–7%).
This dealer is a little closer, almost an hour away.
In my head I was hoping for a better deal on the 2025, but the dealer is saying they can’t offer anything else.
Thoughts? Thanks!!
Just wanted to see if there were any other current/previous IONIQ 5 owners who have purchased or are considering a Trailseeker.
I'm almost at lease-end for my 2024 I5 Disney 100 Limited AWD. I'm still considering a 2025/2026 XRT or Limited AWD, but the ICCU issue is still something to heavily consider.
Had the chance to test drive a Trailseeker Touring today and it pretty much checks all of the boxes - the only cons are: slower DC charging speed, iffy EPA mileage estimates, and whether there are any systematic issues with Trailseekers/bZ Woodlands that haven't yet been discovered. In the project management world that's an "unknown unknown" 😃.
I did put down a $500 deposit and will potentially be picking up a Limited Daybreak Blue Pearl or Magnetite Gray Metallic as early as next week, though! I just have to test drive an XRT this weekend to make a final decision.
Anyone know where I can find some thistle or sunflower patches in the area? My kid got some painted lady caterpillars to raise and they've all emerged. We'd like to release them into an area that has flowers they like. Thanks!
