Mine is about 0.098

But then again, I have recently injured my lower back. The amount of thrusting torque have now decreased dramatically. But I find myself idling at higher RPMs nowadays.

I'll have to go and check my Navara's ptw ratio.

Yebbut your OCD is overpowering the logic.

The Featherduster' is probably measured in Watt per Ton :twisted:

Little Patrol 230kw @ 1300kg = 176.92W/kg

Yank Ranger 300kw @ 2200kg = 136.36W/kg

79 v6 Cruiser 170kw @ 2315 = 73w/kg

76 V8 Cruiser 151kw @ 2320 = 65w/kg

I think the nm/kg for 4x4`s is worth more than w/kg. W /kg is more related to sports cars
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D

I agree with Grips re torque. Apoc's crawl ratio thread on THAT forum (when off road and technical threads were still popular there) was of more relevance.
