Luke K P Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 What am I doing wrong here? Out of interest was looking at the specs from al futtaim for the new LC70 3 door. The HP is at 228 and weight at 2600kg.. giving it around mid-80s using Gaurav's formula below putting in well in the borderline performance category. Thats a lot heavier than my 5door pajero... can these figures they are publishing be right? I would have expected a lot better from a 4L v6 on a short body like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 It's gross weight with a full fuel tank and 5 passengers. Kerb is around 1850-1900 kgs. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This def beter for the ballpark figures. Thanks for the info link @Gaurav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 @PETELCZYC PAJERO - lukeis dreaming about getting LC70 now The only issue is see with them in stock version is that the rear axle is more narrow than the front axle, which makes it a bit tricky for off-roading on higher levels (more prone to roll over). On 2door this is especially a topic. From what i have seen most off-roaders solve this by changing the rims to a wider off-set in combination with spacers to have a nice wide footprint. Apart from that.... LOVELY and LEGENDARY offroader. 1 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrol SWB is 2100, Pajero SWB is 1950. Mine at the weigh bridge was 2200 (Gross). 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
