We NEED a hill report. Preferably with video, drone footage and a voice over done by the Marlborough Man....

Ok, I drove it up that hill today and it still just doesn’t have any guts. Did not get a video.
I shift through the gears, into 5th gear, cruising along at 50 (4:10 rear), it starts up this hill and it just continuously gets slower and slower. I shift down to 4th and the engine is revving up pretty good, but I’m going slower of course.
Then I turn the corner and start up this other small hill, going in 4th gear and as it gets up half way it just slows again, just no power.
I don’t know, it’s just gutless. Don’t have a tach, so I’m not sure what rpm I’m at, but it must be getting up at least 3000, pretty loud inside that cab.
