I didn't know that, I thought the Giant line was the same worldwide.
Here in Europe the Terrago is the mid level model and has been the big seller for Giant since its introduction in the market around 1990.
Mine has a very nice full 4130 steel frame with ovalized top and down tubes at the junction with the head tube and the BB shell. It also has braze-ons everywhere and the longish type geometry of the mid 90's which makes it an ideal basis for building a touring bike.
It has allowed me to modify the attachement of the rear rack in order to use big soft motorcycle pannier.
