Does anyone know the upgrades for 2016 versus 2015 in the 181G?  Or, is it pretty much the same unit.  Thanks.

No changes really.  We won't see any changes in the 2016 model years until the next production runs.

Also the 181g was discontinued this year so if you get one, it'll be one of the last ones made.

So here is a question for moose (or anyone else), is there a list on the site here with a list of all models, both current and those departed? Inquiring minds (me) would like to know.  As a noob I've been trying to understand the various models (here and gone)  It appears the 181G has departed, the 180 is new, in previous years a 172T? Local dealer just this week gave me a brochure of all the models, didn't mention it was evidently 2015 models (was printed in 2014) Was looking at FR website models and noticed they were different. I had seen a 172T for sale somewhere but that model not listed anywhere.

thanks, meach

Here is every model that has ever been made.   151 152  171 172 172t 173 173t 174 175 176 176t 177 178 179 180 181g 182g 183g and the 265Q.

The 181g was just discontinued this season, other models like the 150 series after their first year in 2009.  Most all of the T models had disappeared by the 2011 production year besides the 176t.  The first garage models debuted Spring of 2011, the 179 December of 2013, the 178 came out in 2012, the 183g and 180 are new this current production year.

I have files and specs on every model if there is one you are interested in, I'd be happy to email any of them that you're interested in if you were to happen to find a used one of that model.

Thanks for info, that's a good summary of all the models. After posting this I was on the FB site looking over the files section and ran across brochures from I think all previous years so I can always go there if I need info. on a particular model no longer made. We haven't decided yet which model we like best or if we want to go new or used or even if we want to just wait until next spring since its getting so late in the year which brings up a question, in general is there a particular time of year or season you tend to find the best deals. And one more quick question, was/is there a model with an outside kitchen aside the grill on garage models?

Thanks again, meach.
