    Capable enough but chews the gearboxes. Not ideal if you want to tow anything other than a trailer to the dump

    They are sweet bro just need an extra half a litre of oil and no more 5th gear problems, they kill gearboxes when under load in 5th because the 5th gear isn't submerged in oil enough and relies on what little oil is shooting round in the gearbox to keep it lubed and cool so they get hot towing or under load in 5th. Mine (although a Courier) was a bloody good truck, and had a good run from it.

    PS: they go bloody good for a 2.5 diesel too! I reckon my courier would have walked all over my 3.0ltd hilux in a straight line, Hilux probably pips it for torque though.
    rambo rem700 and Gibo like this.
