What's the difference in the TR between the two Andrew? I haven't heard that before. Is it likely to make any noticeable difference to the average outback tourer?

Improved electronics on the MY14 onwards.Larger brakes = less brake overheating whilst Terrain Response is active.
Help me Gordon,I was paying attention:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Yeah, I get the brake rotor sizing bit ... better brakes ....but what is the difference in electronics and what does that mean in practice?
Before I bought mine Gordon mentioned a non E Diff equipped MY14 D4 is as competent off road as the earlier E Diff models.
You do get stronger axles and bearings with the E Diff,none were available at the time with the deal I got buying my D4.
Andrew
Thanks Andrew. An MY 14 is out of my range alas - sounds like a 3l with e-diff is the go.
Rears only :cool:Quote:

Does anyone know if the updates are applied to older D4's when, for example, you get a service done or is this precluded because there are hardware changes between models? Mine's a MY13.

New algorithms such as fuel mapping, Terrain Response improvements etc are not released by manufacturers for updating older models. However, software "enhancements" that fix a perceived problem or issue are usually made available.
