Jits. i know they don't have to be exactly 1 tonne for tax reasons, just have government approval.
But the new one might be a stretch, especially the auto

- Same ratios as before for the manual? I've always thought 5th gear was too short for 110 kmph

To try and make up for the smaller capacity engine and needing to rev (get on boost) to start moving.
4. rear diff with factory diff lock and lower gearing, all the better for turning 33" tyres

We have 5 models of tritons here.
The 2.5 diesel version comes with a 4.66.
The luxury 3.2 diesel comes with a 4.11
The V6 comes with a 4.30
and the other two models I dont remember what they have.
I dont needed, but I am looking at junkyards in case I find a total loss triton with 4.66 I will get it for my truck.
Did you now a part number 4.66? I never seen this in any catalogs (
In russia we have only 3.9 and 4.11

Do you know if the transfer ratio has been lowered? be a bitch going down a hill with ratios like that....
Sort of explains the low fuel consumption though, be interesting towing, better hope the torque is there (and usable like the figures show) or you'ld never see 5th
sierra wrote:The difference in gearing is only 5% higher which is about the same as the bigger wheels provide.
Low ratio is the same.
The better fuel consumption is more likely the result of the more efficient engine than 5% higher gearing I would have thought?

Unfortunately this ( 3.917 ratio down from 4.1 ) will only compound the problem for off road use as they have retained the 1.9 to 1 transfer ratio especially in the manual then if you go bigger tyres eg 265/75 or 32" I think it may struggle in slow rocky hilly terrain with less grunt off boost.
Remember this is exactly the reason that Nissan went for a 6 speed manual in the D40 Navara to gear it low enough in 1 st low range.
Would be almost a non issue with the 5 sp auto I would think so just a pity they derated the Nm's to 350
