2.5 T/D D40 Navara

[EF Futura 07]

been driving the company car for the last few day's. new model navara T/D 6 speed manual (40,000 k's). what a gutless hunk of metal. the lag is absolute bullcrap, there is nothing under 2200, that's when the turbo decides to wake up.

the specs are as follow's

126kw@ 4000
403nm@ 2000

thats funny because if you nail the throttle @ 2000 there is that 200-300 rpm before you can here it spool up and something acually happens. also over 3500 it runs out of steam yet peak power is @ 4000 ???? i might add it will rev to 4500. dont try to take off from a hill if your not @ 2500 and slipping the clutch because it will stall (like it did today........ twice lol : )

also the gear ratio's are way to tall from 3-6th, yet 1-2 is way to low

eg, come up to a corner at say 30k's, now if you choose 3rd to accelerate out its at about 1500revs (so no boost, change to 2nd and you lock the *** if you dont blip the throttle because its about 3500.)

what are your thoughts?
