but.... with 868Nm of Torque do you REALLY need low range?

Don't forget your
upgrade kit .

too much horsepower is just not enough for them!

Nobody. Maybe you missed the part where its not an offroader?

Ah OK.... I didn't connect the dots. Regardless, I wouldn't take that thing offroad.... it doesn't have the air suspension or the tyres. A regular GC can still run 17s, there's no way this one would.

Agreed. Trailhawk would be better.

Trailhawk would still be better than an Isuzu 4x2

I remember the SRT of 2006 about those were crazy power.
That was the most powerful car I ever drove.
So I don't know how these compare but those were absolutely crazy.

Neil you gave me grief on the other thread, about the Amarok not having low range, so it's high(not as high) torque does not help it off road. So just because this is your brand you can't change your tune!
Sorry bad grammar and punctuation but hopefully you get the drift of this boertjie.

Why would 868 Nm not make up some lack of low range deficit off-road? Because it would
But like I said, the Trailhawk would still be better. It’s also got the TC system that the Trackhawk doesn’t have.

The lack of dealerships definitely is a no go for me when it comes to Jeep. Great as they might be
