subframe drop or SAS?

Fueler, anything feels quicker then our 3.3 except for the old 3.0...my pathfinder feels quick from 0-10 and thats about it...my old 4 banger accord, my dads excursion, my cousings old ass escort, hell even my john deere feel faster

I've always found my 3.3 to have plenty of power, only time it felt lacking was the last mountain pass on my way to Creston (Salmo-Creston for anyone from BC) where you're headed straight up hill for about 25 minutes...foot to the floor but once it started to get quite steep near the summit the needle dropped down below 120km/h. In fact I've rarely felt any lack of power, it just chugs gas like there is no tommorow. I think I did the entire drive from Calgary to Vancouver at over 3000rpm, worst was going up the Coquihalla at 150km/h at 5000rpm because I just wanted to get home. Can't say I've ever had any trouble getting the rear tires to slip, not that it's a smart idea should you want to stay ticket free.

 

 

Anyhow, I agree with you Michigan...I didn't buy my R50 with the intention of beating on it, it was a means to an end; I needed a 4wd truck with space that would get me safely across the province throughout the winter. I have truly fallen in love with her and how capable she is though, and while I dream of doing stupid things her thats more because of the glory of being the first to do it You hit the nail on the head, my ultimate goal is a 2.5" lift on 32"s that will keep me in the game but still be a viable DD. I suppose when I'm filthy rich I'll be able to build a proper trail rig

This is true. I was going up some really steep hills and the pathy was trying to maintain 55mph i had my foot to the floor and it was still loosing speed

[Zibi]

So heres another question, do the different models of the R50 have different gearing? I imagine that would have a sizable affect on speed, especially with increased tire size.

I think the auto is 4.6 and the 5 speed is 4.3, I could be wrong though.
