Thread: S/H P38 4 OR 4.6??

Basically comes down to creature comforts. AFAIK no 4.0 HSE's were sold in Oz, so a 4.0, 4.0 S or 4.0 SE will probably be missing (unless optioned):

• leather interior
• memory seats and auto-dipping mirrors
• stereo controls on the steering wheel
• front fog lamps
• sun roof
• extra lamps in the footwells
• illuminated vanity mirror in passenger sun visor
• auto-dimming rear view mirror
• illuminated window switches in the rear
• rear cup holders
• cup holders under the lid of the cubby-box

4.0 has the HP22 transmission, and the 4.6 has the HP24 tranny, supposedly stronger. Put a HP24 in to my 1999 4.0 and couldn't pick the difference.

Not a huge difference in power. I just picked up a 2000 4.6 HSE, and it is a bit quicker than my 99 4.0 "Hard Rangie". However, my 4.0 "Hard Rangie" sounds like a 6L and sits 4" taller than the HSE, and would sh*te all over it in the dirty stuff

Cheers, Paul.

I think that when you've chosen to drive the best 4x4, then you deserve the maximum of comfort. Really love my 4.6
