The terrain we are on is pretty boggy (Ireland) so the heavy vehicles just sink. Climbing is a huge struggle with the weight.

So the v6 have no low end power, what about the 1.6 16v?


That heavy diesel lump is nothing compared to a V8 petrol. You may think you have lots of power but in reality you need faster wheel rotation speed, preferably with 38" Boggers.
