Do you guys have this truck over there, are they any good?
This ones a diesel.... and only a 2.2L at that! mind you it is 6 speed manual
I've got a demonstrator parked on the drive at the moment
Makes my Jeep look tiny

Heard rumors around but first sighting unmasked.
Looks like a mini F150. Is it 4WD? How does it do with that little diesel?

[Andy b]

Yes it is 4x4, but I would imagine with a 6 speed manual box you’re going to get a bit fed up with changing gears!
In Europe we get different engine configurations than you do over the pond.
For instance my Jeep has a 2.7L Mercedes-Benz diesel engine. (you can get a 4.0L straight 6 or a 4.7 V8 petrol over here too)
Not sure the 2.2L Ford will have the grunt, it's basically the same engine that’s in my Ford Transit van

We won't get this truck because the price would be the same or a little higher than an F150. It would be nice especially with the diesel. Probably gets decent mileage.

[Andy b]

The sales blahb states 35mpg on a combined cycle. i'l believe that when i see it....

[Dozer]

What's the tow rating?

[Andy b]

Probably quicker and easier if i give you the UK ford link

Nice looking truck with decent towing capacity for boats up to maybe 23'-24' from what i can see. There are so many different vehicles in Europe that we'll never see and those diesels are far more popular over there with the higher cost of fuel.

I know I always feel like I'm getting bent over paying 3.50 a gallon till I think what it is elsewhere, then I complain some more.

The irony is over here diesel is more expensive than petrol.
