    Possibly more to do with overall gearing and weight than power output

    Yeah weight is a factor but gearing..not sure 4 speed v 5 speed?

    The landy is quicker all round now...surprised us a tad..but it was no slouch in NA trim. ..very good on dirt roads especially but just a bit slow up hills compared to eg a TD5 and diesel Jeep☺

    Better brakes next on the list!

    4 or 5 speed not really relevant as 5th usually overdrive but tyre size, diff ratios TC ratio and individual GB ratios all combined with weight do

    Pretty sure none of the ones here will.

    And one is very low km, completely stock/original.

    And that's exactly what I think as well, my question was aimed at proving this, but I'm still not sure if this is correct and there is something wrong with the Isuzu engined ones I mentioned at the outset.
