Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Engine: 2.5-litre ticliese1;141hp/330Nrn Transmissions: 40, 4x4;5spd manual GVWs: 2,800-3,070kg Cabs: single, Mended, double Ford's Thai-built contender in the one-tonne pickup market has gradually built a reputation for toughness and dependability, accompanied by lacklustre dynamics. We were expecting the revised model to offer more of the same and were totally unprepared for the hugely improved product that rolled off the boat at Southampton.

Starting inside, the utilitarian fascia has given way to a more car-like design with a high level of standard kit, The usual three cab options include the extended Super Cab with its rear-hinged rear doors, and three trim levels which tick all the boxes from fleet to Ilfestyle.

The new twin overhead cam engine is a world away from the old donkey and virlth significantly improved suspension, plays a big part in the much higher levels of refinement.
