" And like I said earlier, a popular and big selling 3500kg rated dual cab couldn't lug the same as my old manual F truck, which I might add, is still on the original clutch despite having towed and hauled its way to 250000+ km.
The gearing in modern soft 4x4 vehicles, in order to make them feel like a car on the hwy, and to use minimal fuel when unloaded, renders them not commercial. Despite what they are classified as by manufacturers and the public. The old effy, she's got a crawler first gear, it will only do about 25kmh flat out lol. Unladen, 2nd gear starts are the norm..." Quote from Tex @59 I agree with that 100%. |
