See, diesels are shit ;)

 

Ha ha.  Having started my apprencticeship doing valve clearances on Holden Rodeo's I do tend to agree on old (ie Toyota) technology engines.  I forget all my hate when you see what a modern one can do.  We've delivered 3 Audi SQ7's this year with the 320kW 900Nm diesel V8 in them.  Now THAT is a diesel engine it's hard to hate on!  Sounds good, goes good and surprisingly good fuel efficiency if you realise the throttle isn't an on/off switch.....

I'd be tempted to drive it... just to check it out you know ;)

I've looked at Q7s lots of time for some reason.

I've got an SQ7 on a boat docking in a few weeks.  Not far from Albury to Shepparton.....

Ahh, yeah 120s were down 20-30kw's on the 1GR used in mine, plus mine is tuned/intake to help a bit.

Still slow, just not "as" slow. 

The 3L piston breaker is f**king anemic and couldn't pull the skin off rice custard. 

A v12 would be sexual. 

I do get down to Shep a bit for work, are you down that way?

Well well, V6 Amarok... 

Proper overpriced european shitbox with stupid parts and service pricing. The upside is you can look like a king at the job site along with you "Unit" sticker across the back window.

I towed with a new Dmax to an undisclosed location recently with a car on the back and 1200kg trailer, did it well even with boxes on the back.

A Camry will tow 1200kg lol 

New Dmax at least looks better than the old one, nfi about how good it is. 

A mate has a DMAX for work and an MUX for home and loves them both. I tried MUX, good value, but drives like a ute. 

 

1200 + 1600kg car..

Dmax is basic but I would own one over a Ranger......
