New toy...

Looking at that then got me thinking and looking at big diesels, made me reaslise just how much grunt the VW Tourag has
One of these has 23 more lb's of torque (553lb's) and 10 more horsies (310bhp) behind it... When u consider the difference in weight aswell thats a hell of a lot of power for a lot smaller car in comparason, the VW weighs a 3rd of what the big fella does ( 5736lb to 15,300lb ) Thats a MUNSTER haha

If u were looking for even more power, sumthin to really open up that hole i nthe ozone the The R50 diesel packs a wopppppping 630lb's of torque and just shy of 350bhp .... BEAST

...

But the first IUD would rip its arse apart! Plus the MXT is considerably larger (bonnet badge is eye height) so more space for family, dog, camping equipment...

MXT easier to park because you make your own parking spec.

Tiz a 6.0 Litre, no wonder it's not lively

That would explain it, though it may not be the same as its not a standard production one. It's for 'special' use.

Tis an 'International MXT' TSV (Tactical Support Vehicle) - it has a 'very large' (dunno the size for sure, but expect its around 12 - 14 litres if its anything ike the others I've tested) turbo diesel V8 and sounds absolutely wonderful! Given it weighs something around 8 tons, it isn't exactly lively though, and it took a good bootful of revs just to get it up to about 20mph in the carpark.

Matt F, yes the front isn't its best angle. The back is nice though!





Nice and practical for overlanding, nice and spacious in the cab, and nice and armoured for those dodgy bits of Africa!

Its on a quick release cradle too, with mounts on the back for it too. I'll get some pics of how its mounted as it looks really neat and a less beefy version might work with the Surf.

Glad you said that because the excellent approach angle looked compromised by the winch.

The Yanks have loads of accessories to go with their receiver hitches too....

I've always thought they are the way forward, only carry them in the back when needed and mount them when the going gets rough. Saves lugging all that weight around for 99% of the year.

From the side it looks the nads. That front end looks a bit gay though.
