I know GU had diesel 4.2 in both NA and Turbo but like rocking horse poo in SA.
I also know GQ rated at 2500kg but it has trouble pulling itself up the hills leaving Adelaide and with a trailer on the back it grinds away in 3rd or sometimes 2nd, temp rises, what a grind! I have absolutely no intention of putting turbo on GQ.
So what is the towing capacity of GU 4.8 auto and manual?
For those that have crossed say Tanami or Gibb RR in a petrol vehicle, how did you go for fuel? Need jerries? Enough fill stations that you could reach easily? Any thoughts?
cheers
