I have a sneaking suspicion they're all trying to cut down on materials with weight considerations to beat ramping up emissions controls and oops!

Cutting it a bit fine there guys and more evidence of that in the new RAV4- https://www.caradvice.com.au/851813/toyota-rav4-recall-suspension/

They're revving up small cap engines to meet emissions and it's beginning to show with the Ecoblues-

And the injectors running at high pressures-

A class action pending on the transmission-

I'd be sticking with the 3.2 six speed personally rather than the hand grenade-

How's those injector pressures and that biturbo RPM? Jesus Ford better stamp out plenty of spare Ranger bonnets

I can't get my head around an auto needing 10 speeds in it.

It's to keep it reving in it peak torque range, I believe.

Must be a narrow band though... geez Maloo.

Must be a narrow band though...

Think of an old 2 stroke race bike like a TZ - up to 10,000 you can walk faster, but 10,001 -explosion. 11,000 switches off.

Given the future emission standards I would've thought it'd be to keep in the rev range of least emission.

Yeah.... I guess.

Geez, I only fitted a 3 speed to the Zephyr for the 1/8th mile tracks and they are nicer on the street.
Would've used an ol 2 speed glide if it was all 1/4 mile.

Set some new ground... go the 10 speed... much smoother
