I know this is a speculative article but would a straight-six diesel producing a punchy 205kW and 588Nm, be enough to convert Hilux and Ranger owners?

205 kw will look pretty weak soon.

Same engine as in Genesis GV80.
I've driven it, very very nice mill. The front of that ute is the Palisade, only diesel currently is the 2.2L they use in everything else. This could pave the way for a N Series Palisade with the 3L diesel. If Kia put a tray on the Telluride and use the same 3L donk it should sell well. Geeze, last diesel they will develop. :(

Feels like 1998 again with our amazing 185kw v8's. In fairness these new utes have come a very long way.

That diesel would out perform the v6 twin turbo in a ute, and use a fraction of the fuel so why would you do that?

looks like the journo's Headline "Australia's most powerful ute!" has taken the bait with a few.
thing is the twin cab is is not what the Aussie Ute was, but its no truck either. IMO its turned into a vehicle that can transport the family, go on weekenders can tow and can also be practical as a work vehicle and thus gets the ABN incentives a Maloo or FPV may have been a lot quicker but it has more in common with a 2 door sports car, and sold about as well. in comparison twin cabs sell very well. this last stand by the Koreans of a diesel engine, has similar specs to the BMW 30D. it will be a nice drive

more powerful or not if those pics are what they are looking like come production runs I'll take a Amarok V6 over them anyday.
Looks like they copied the fugly Triton, such a woeful design.

the drivers can deliberately fail a car, besides that they recon 70% of divers could even do the maneuver and crash anyway. also: 'Tekniken Varld’s moose tests also says that a Nissan Qashqai (84 km/h) is better at avoiding obstacles than a 991 generation Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS and a McLaren 570S, both did only 81 km/h.' https://www.wapcar.my/news/why-toyot...elieve-it-2846. Bottom line if a moose steps out in front of you on a country road where you are travelling above 80kph any way. you will crash if you try and swerve like they do in the test.

Im pretty sure they mention diesel engine in the sentence that claims Australia's most powerful ute so im not sure what RAM etc. has to do with it.

And it's not like the turbo petrol suffers from a lack of low down torque either. It peaks at something like 1800 rpm. |

Pretty sure the intention was just to compare the diesel utes. TBH I didnt even think of Ram.
