Imagine telling your 1990's self about modern trail bikes.. "oh year, it's 150mm back and front, never drops a chain, doesn't really get punctures, doesn't try to volley you out the front door if you lose attention for a microsecond"
Probably not though, cuz the Cali Government would have had them put up a warning sign of some sort

Before the LN upgrade, you could still put 240/350 internals into a 370 but you lost the freehub seal.
So the LN is basically the old style with two moving ratchets which look easier to replace as they aren't screwed in. Perhaps also more reliable given what I've heard about EXP.

My mom wants a Sprinter camper and is willing to spend $120k on it, and she'd be lucky to find a good one at that price. Its insane. I'm trying to tell her that she can get a bus sized rear pusher for $50k, and it would take 10 years of driving 5,000 mils a year to make up the cost difference with the worse mileage, and you have an apartment on wheels instead of a van.
That’s all fine and dandy until you realize you need a 90k dollar truck to pull it reliably. Either way it’s insanely expensive
