Sticky: Difference between a 2003 300A and a 300B

[Bulten Rauder]

I have a real oddball:
Auto release fuel door
In-dash Clock
Map pockets in the front seats
Auto Release Parking brake
Windshield tint
Hood light
Single engine knock sensor
Black Valve covers
2400 Stall convertor
6 CD changer
Trunk orgainzer
Traction control
Mini Spare
Dot Matrix on upper portion of windshield

There were only 470 MM's built in 2003 for Canada (KPH Speedo). Mine is as yours but with manual parking break. What's your build number/date?

With a date that late, I suspect that you have an '04 Marauder. They are all 300a models and are equipped the same as '03 300b models with T/C, donut spare, no remote fuel door release, no separate map in the dash trim, and no map pockets in the front of the front seats.

Yup, last of the '03's rolled off the line mid-June 2003.

Is there any noticable performance differences between the two? which is better? sorry I am a newbie here and am in the market for a marauder and plan to make my purchase when I get my taxes back. There is not really any for sale close to me so I know I will have to travel some distance and I just want to make sure I get the best for my money. Thanks

No noticeable performance difference, but the '04 has a stronger transmission.

All signs point to an '03 300B MM built late in the 2003 run. But could be a very early '04 300A (dual knock sensors).

In Canada, they are known as 300 EH.
