I heard some horror stories about a patrol 4.8 doing 60l/100km in thick sand somewhere is australia, that must hurt the wallet :doh:

Love the 4.8 power/torque and super smooth auto box :biggrin:

500nm sounds like good torque for the diesel.

Tinus, we will have to see what the standard pump is capable of. 500nm might need a 12mm pump and bigger turbo as boost is going to be around 1.2bar for that amount of torque if I have to guess.

Thanks guys. I know the 4500 RPM, I'm driving one myself as an interim solution.

I've also heard that the GRX Auto has very looooong gearing - which is great; but it apparantly also "searches" on inclines, and kick back to 4th frequently.......?? This true??

If this is a hassle, I'd rather try find a nice 4,8 GL manual. Apparently you do'nt get them new any more??

If you pull a big load yes but you have the tip tronic 4 gear if it bugs you mine stays in 5 gear 95 % of the time

Nee wat Tinus, we do'nt really tow heavy stuff . Maybe a caravan 1/2 times a year, same with the boat. And not far distances.
I just LOVE low RPM at highway speeds, gives a much more laid back drive.

Just another OT question - accessories on the GRX are not a problem I guess?? I'm talking basic stuff??

Suspension bits are the same as for that '94 SGL you bought new 21 years ago.

Roof racks and so forth are the same for all the Y61's from your 4.5 through to the latest.

Bumpers etc. are the same for all the face-lift models.
