2 months with the Patrol

[BigRAWesty]

Hey 10g. Glad to see your enjoying the patrol. .
The gu has a wicked turning circle. . I feel your pain with the old cars, the old GQ needed 4 lanes to turn in. Made backing trailers interesting lol..

Anyway the traction control..
Unfortunately many say it is a write pita with anything other than a stock lift. Even blokes with 2" lift say the notice it trying to take over..
Haven't read if it can be disabled, I would doubt it as it is a safety feature..
So it may be just get into a habit when on the highway switch it off..
But it's is a huge advantage off road especially with an open front diff. It'll force drive to the wheel with traction by applying the brakes to the spinning wheel..

I agree that yes fuel economy is much better at 100 over 110, about 3L/100 I've found..
But that's what all my cats have done..
But I don't think the need a 6th gear..
At 100kmh your in the early area of peak power..
So if you sink the boot in its not long before it's full power and off you pull..
The peak power is between 2500-3000rpm in the manual.

Keep enjoying I though..
Cheers
