Look at the effects on the 0-90 and 0-100 times compared to the American utes and the Raptor with the trailer dyno on the back. It confirms in my mind that when you're using something for work that there's no replacement for displacement (or a ****load of forced induction - see Raptor that ripped the American utes with their V8s)
I agree I'd like to see them at GVM/GCM and go another run, they couldn't get their hands on the lovely VDJ79 unfortunately for the test, shame because it would have shown how it's not worth the price for entry  |
Find it rather amusing these tests, driving upto $ydney last week and sitting on 105km/h 1/2 loaded (1.5T payload) still passed most caravans and semi's @ 38mpg (16kml) in a 34 year old truck.
