A little disappointing actually, that it is still that heavy... seems underpowered now :-/

But i did see a dipstick sticking out of the engine,in one of the vids,but they didn't say which engine,so thats a HUGE plus.

Yes i recon it is a bit underpowered with the diesel.

So much so that an accessory manufacturer is offloading their D5.

Interesting.
