Default Re: The Thailand Special Thread - New Developments/News

I am from the other side of the camp, as in I don't tow anything so my logic if completely different.

If these vehicles are designed to tow and you don't use them to tow, then to me it is over engineered for what you are using it for so should have a good life span if looked after and be powerful enough to get you around.

You have to look at them as a blank canvas and make a few mods to suit what you are going to use them for.

I have done a Lap of Victoria and now Tasmania in mine and think they are an awesome touring vehicle as you can point to almost any location on a map, and go check the place out.

I think a lot of the haters have only driven to pov pack models but not the equivalent higher level ones which usually have a softer suspension and better cabin insulation. Small difference yes but noticeable.

I will concede that they sound like a sewing machine however, but getting down below 8lt per hundred on the highway for a vehicle that weighs as much as it does, is something that can't be complained about.
