Won't break any speed records.......but the speed limit here in NZ is 100, so no real need for a speed demon for the average punter. And with the ever deteriorating condition of our roading system, 70 profile tyres are a real boon. Have to laugh when you cruise past 2wd Hiluxes changing punctures on 15 profile tyres

It amazes me Simon. I do a bit of work for commercial fishermen on their boats. All going back to non electronic Doosan motors. Mechanical injectors, basic turbo's (non variable vane) easy care and long life. Change the oil and filters and she keeps going.

Something to be said for it.
