When we were over in the UK visiting my wifes brother and his family. Their neighbor had a boxy square diesel wagon that towed a 22' single axle trailer..he said he towed it up to Ireland, we were in Edinburgh. I asked him how it towed, he said we didn't set any land speed records, but were not the slowest either...they don't push it. He had 14" brakes (metric of course..I measured with a US dollar bill. I told him what I towed with and what I towed (pic below) he said hop in..we will take it for ride and get a nip...soon as we got in the country he let me drive...Man, that boxy square wagon was snappy...lots of horse power. Was a 4 banger with a turbo and a 5 speed. Felt a lot like my friends supra when I was shifting through the gears.
UK's cars have a lot more spunk then the US that's for sure...I'm sure the Ozzy's are the same...
made this disbeliever...believe.....
So are you saying an engine that makes it's torque at low rpm (due to high compression pressure and direct fuel injections) is more suitable for towing...even if it isn't in a one tun dually?
Oh oh...
