Meet your mum around the corner at the nearest long hill and see if it's true or not. I drove a v8 cruiser ute but had the D3 for a while so can't remember how it compares to the TD5.

I was looking at a 70 series wagon new a week ago. The rear wheel track is still 93mm narrower than the front.

My pretty tired 3.9 V8 Rangie classic will see off my mates 30 000km old Cruiser ute. I reckon a well sorted TD5 should be quicker than a tired 3.9 Rover engine.
