anschutz.17hmr 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 had a d22 and loved it,was due for replacement so tried a d40 and hated it thirsty crap at towing,and big and clumsy,so bought a ford ranger 3_4k cheaper better at towing and better on fuel (d22 3tonne,ranger 3tonne,d40 2.8 tonne towing limit so whats the use of having all the extra power if the clutch can.t take it ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
