Grade

Flat, and what isn't flat isn't very hilly!

my bad,

I just realised that the "4" speed auto is really a 3 speed with electric overdrive

is this true?

sorry for my previous post Jon, about the gear selection
the things you learn when reading the forums


cheers

Yep... well for the R4 boxes certainly... and you can throw in "and Torque Converter Lock Up" for the purists... so they are a "3 speed with electric overdrive and Torque Converter Lock Up"

Hi definitely use the wdh when towing. It will put the weight back on the front wheels and make steering and breaking easier. Turn the OD off and drive to the road conditions. I try to stick to about 90 - 95km for better fuel economy, but each to their own with speed.

1.5T,shouldnt be an issue using a 4x4 with any engine
Itll be the extra drag over the roof hieght thatll cause more of an issue

All mentions above regarding not labouring the auto,is correct
