So far the Nissan section believes the Nissan in faster. I believe Mud4b, he seems like an honest fella.

mums good old 1HDT with 350 000k on the clock says toodles to our friends old RX 4.2L TD GQ. I have also dragged a swb 3.0L V6 Pajero and i had her in 1st, 2nd, and she caught me when i was in 3rd at 3000rpm then once i hit 4th she was gone. I was still impressed with the old diesel unless she was just playin :P .

TOYOTA TOUGH!!!!!

p.s Dont talk about 12H-T's. My 60 gets flogged on acceleration by kids with training wheels :P

Mud4b What fuel consumption do you get while towing?
I am heading off around Australia in a month or 2 carrying a 1.5 tonne caravan so it means a fair bit of dollars going into the fuel bill.
