A good example is the Nissan Patrol Y61, which is rather heavy (2400+kgs) and BHP is not that impressive (240hp) but the good amount of torque of 420NM due to is big engine size really makes it shine in the desert (if you know how to utilize its power).

I have a question here on the "how to utilize its power". Here is the graph of the engine performance of the TB48DE in question:

By "good utilization" do you mean I should stick around 3k-4k revs to benefit from the higher torque? Imagine I'm climbing uphill, around 4k rev, I feel struggling, should I step more on the gas or let the torque due the magic and hope for the best? It seems to me that stepping on the gas in this scenario will make the situation worse instead of better.

Thank you for your advice in advance

Kindly add me to the waitlist as second drive

Thank you @Vanessa8580, @Lawrence_Chehimi and all the group for the amazing day. I have saved the drive in gpx format (from Gaia GPS). Please find it attached.

It might be a good memory

Hi, thank you for the introductory video (watched ). I drive a Patrol Safari. I have moderate 4x4 experience but mostly on snow. On sand I had a few trips, already got stuck, already recovered from it. I'm far from an expert but let's say a bit more than a newbie 😉. On top of the basics I'll have flag and radio. Looking forward to learning more 😊
