Hope this is of some help.Mal K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am even starting to think about holding off until the new Territory comes out with the V8.....depends I guess on how many dollards Ford will want for one!

I reckon the major re-engineering involved for a small selling specialist version would be prohibitive (Please correct me if Im wrong.. ) cost wise... Still, the thought of it is quite tempting, especially if they use a supercharged version! The Turbos tow easily enough and power-up as effectively and cheaply as any T or F6. Still, makes interesting food for thought.Mal K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which apparently is just around the cornercheersmichael Edited 01/05/10 03:57 PM by andrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/05/10 10:13 PM Share Posted 01/05/10 10:13 PM The Turbo Territory will finnish up next month (June 2010) and there are no v8 models.The Turbo Territories are also limited to 1600kg max towing capacity. The Diesal T is not due until next year and will have the Rover 3lt v6 turbo motor apparently.I would not recomend a Terry for regular towing duties such as going around Oz in a caravan. You would be better with a Landcruser/Patrol/Disco4 as they are more designed for this type of work. The Territory is a softroader and more for passengers than towing.

cobramad Member 824 Member For: 19y 5m 13d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 03/05/10 12:59 PM Share Posted 03/05/10 12:59 PM As for towing, each to their own.. Ours tows the car trailer and tarmac rally Capri well, towing mass 2200kg and its no problem. Surprised to hear the Teritory Ghia Turbo is only limited to 1600kg, sounds like another Zap typo eh? Have to consult the manual and see what the go is, seeing as the factory made 2300kg towing packages for a vehicle limited to 1600kg?? Time to dig deeper.,Mal K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
