I meant to make a few other comments on that Tristar....

Like mine, it has a leather boot on the shifter (never saw that on any
other Vanagon), the neat grab handles intergrated lights like mine (I'm
told they are from Audi). This one doesn't have the front diff lock
mine has, but it has the auxillary heater (controls mounted in a
different location than on mine)

Though the interior is gray, the seats are the special 3 color fabric
that the Tristars came with, and also note the front seats have map
pockets on the back (the inspiration I had when redoing my Westy's
interior). Also note that the front passenger door as a map pocket on
it.

The tow hitch is a eyebolt tow hitch (unlike mine which is more akin to
the south african style which is fully intergrated in to the bumper
support.

A nice touch is that it has foot rests on both the left and right of
the rear bumper (mine only has the right side one.)

This one doesn't have the headlight washers, and it has a external
radio antenna (mine is integrated into the front windshield.)

And that's a nice bed cover to go with the truck.

In short, even in Tristars there are a variety of different little
options.
