The 2014 models go from 0-100 in under 5 seconds in stock form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloosted Cruise Control 1,383 Member For: 18y 11m 24d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 20/08/14 02:30 AM Share Posted 20/08/14 02:30 AM (edited) the engine is a VM Motori 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel with 184kw and 570Nm. Combined fuel usage is 7.5L/100km and does 0-100km/h in under 7.5 seconds.It has a 8 speed German built ZF. The Diesel and V8s come with a German built box and the V6 petrol has a US built 8 speed under ZF license. Similar to what Ford do with the 6 speed ZF.They drive really good for a big heavy car. The engine is quiet and has a tone to torque, the auto is smooth as silk. Much like the 6 speed ZFs in the XRs. The ride is firm on the 20" wheels and there is minimal body roll for a 2200kg car. It does not drive or feel like a small car by any stretch of the imagination, but its just so comfortable and very quiet. I ended up driving a few of them as I test drove both petrol and diesel and way very impressed.The list of features in these is huge and compared to anything else in the class or similar $$$. I got the limited edition Blackhawk model that is based on the base model Laredo and has a number of added features to make it stand out a bit more.I was going to hold out for the updated Territory Titanium diesel, but after seeing the picture Ford released I was pretty disappointed.I just bought a white Blackhawk and fkn love it so far, and it's ok Johnno the dealer is also the ford dealer so I know him well Edited 20/08/14 02:31 AM by bloosted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the older model but still makes you take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
