The 6hp26 in the 3.6 tdv8 is very strong and the 8hp70 in the later 4.4 is rated at 700Nm...

Didn't you know,they sell the house,put everything in the van,and away they go

Easy as,until they check things on the weigh bridge.

Tombies correct,the D4 pulls a heavy van so well it is unbelievable,actually at times you can sometimes forget it is even there,and thats with a 'tuned' 2.7l.

Works pretty hard up that Toowoomba range though.

Even our 2.9t van feels great behind the td6... its amazing just how heavy some of these vans become....

Well, test drive is booked in for saturday! I hope its horrible[emoji4]

Once u drive it, its hard to not come home without it.

Once u own it, its hard not to have any thing to fix, sort out or upgrade. Can be boring, i never realised how comfotable and stress free reliablity can be [emoji848]

Let me know what colour you get[emoji6]

I’ve had that experience going from the 110 Perentie wagon (rebuilt from ground up) to the L322 3.6 tdv8. As the L322 lives outside, the interior & paint does require regular maintenance. [emoji1]

Washing and vacuuming.

And you can’t find any accessories to fit to it. [emoji35]

I am going through similar, lse soft dash, body off chassis build with isuzu 4bd1t and msa gearbox and lots of other goodies, to possibly a y62!
Its going to hurt like hell parting ways, but its just not viable anymore
