4.2

[MB]

Okay fellow Patrolians, I am at the point where I am looking for a cab chassis to set up for an extremely remote trip. I have owned a ZD30 in the passed and not experienced to many issues, despite the reputation. This time around I am thinking a 4.2, is there anything I should know? Any serious issues? Do they have the same issue as the ZD?

Can’t personally fault the older ute stockish 4.2’s for your adventures needed I reckon GF mate, just ask Cuppa GU good bloke still out there!
TD4.2’s are prone to overheating if not cleaned and looked after. Depending on your weight carrying needs the somewhat rarer coil sprung arse ends are super comfy. Leaf sprung beasts for serious weight touring will find you some near 400kg more legal.
(Coily 3,040kg GVMish / Leafy 3,400kg GMMish IIRC )
EDIT: Stock/factory weight figures roughly, some trucks out there have legal previously ‘upgraded’ plated to score if all above board!
