Updated Spec for 150 in UK

[bettsy Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close bettsy]

Hi All

I have noticed that the spec for UK 5 Door 150's has the diesels at 140kw, and a towing capacity of 3 tonne.

I have a 2010 GXL TD auto, and and am looking for a higher towing capacity than the 2.5 tonne.

Obviously would be great if we get the above spec in Australia. Does anyone have any ideas on if or when?

Thanks
Bettsy

Sounds great and we seem to always be about a year behind europe for some reason.

Off topic I know but cold down your way yet?

bit annoying for those waiting for an 'old' model now...

I was mindful of this release when I purchased the 150 in February 2011 and asked a couple of dealers prior to purchase (local dealer, Bridge in Darwin, SciFleet in QLD and CMI in Adelaide) about the arrival of the new model and they basically said you wouldn't see it to for 12-18 months. Here was some advice back in August 2010 - http://www.themotorreport.com.au/506...-debut-unclear

hmm I actually wonder whether they changed any internals, or just tweaked the engine up, like you would do when installing a chip

Mmmnnnn,....maybe in another 12months when I flick the 120, the new D4D will be hitting our shores. One can only hope.
Having a bit more power wouldn't go astray. More torque would have been nicer though.
