    I've done the Adelaide run with 3t on the back and it had non-working brakes as it turned out...

    The D4 easily handled it.

    Yes, same same. Did Adelaide descent yesterday using Sport mode and paddles. 2.1t camper behind. D4 handled with ease and very little use of brakes at all.

    Has sport mode effected the fuel usage? I was thinking with the higher revs it would use more. Also do you use sport mode whilst on freeways etc? I tow a 3.2 t van and struggle to keep it under 18l/100.

    Would be great if van makers got into Electrical regen tech and put motors in the hubs back to batteries. Extra braking and a little boost on takeoff.....any one able/interested in financing this?
