Yes lots of reasons forcing manufacturers to smaller engines. But then their clients force them back to bigger engines. Ford Raptor going back to v8. This time bigger than ever in a 427. :lol: :lol:

He fooled the Nany`s. Must say Derick has a way with the Amarok. Did very, very well at last years Whoopa in the dune climb competition by ending third. The guys that beat him both had front and rear lockers.

He also have a theory about hitting thorn bushes with both mirrors. :lol: :lol:

I don't get the question..

I know of diesels that are from 1.4l up to 4.8l ..

Anything bigger becomes too agricultural, and anything smaller becomes too slow..

3.0L seems to be the general cut off. I just was wondering why. Even the 4.2 Patrol is now a 3.0 as per Manny

Don't Range Rover and Toyota offer 4lt plus Diesel V8's? And those are both proper 4x4's with lowrange.
