Thread: Utes - Parts and servicing

We tow 3.5 tonnne most days and more off road.Any of the trucks capable on a cof will cost you alot more to run both in ruc charges,cost to run per km and lost time for cof renewals.We have trucks on cof and 79 series Landcruiser.American utes aside (to big for what we do)None of the modern utes have the torque or chasis strength that these do.But you do have to do some things to get them there.Change the brake booster,exhaust,clutch and a proper tune and you will have something that is reliable with upwards of 650nm depending how far you want to go.Also a 3 tonne digger leaves you only 500kg for a trailer that is not alot of steel for something strong that will last.Alot of friends here have had afew issues with the rangers.There is no perfect answer.
