XL Double Cab - Good truck, let down with poor running gear. The clutch and gear box are not up to towing 3 tons.

Carl Richard Ramsey-Bennett said on January 15 2010

Thunder Manual - I didn't know pick-ups were made like this. It drives like a good car in terms of driver comfort. We drove to Scotland and back in comfort. The seats are not Mercedes quality, but they are better than Volvo. I would like more MPG, but it gives around 30mpg, which is what I expected. Fuel economy is about 40 miles per tank better on a long run.

Wayne Evans said on December 18 2009

Thunder Manual - Over all very good. Slightly down on power (due to turbo lag) and a very lively rear end. Rear seating is a little cramped and the beeping when you leave the keys in the ignition is very annoying.
