So 45 isn’t amazing but it’s not bad either.
I'm curious if they offer it as an option on the work pack variants like the entry level single and dual cab or just the private buyer top spec pavement princesses like the Wildtrak, a similar deal to the Amarok only having the Ecoboost available in top spec.

I reckon the PHEV will be better than the V6D option. Curious to see the difference in torque figures as well as fuel economy when loaded up to payload and towing capacity - PHEV vs V6D.

I'm over diesel engines in light vehicles, WOFTAM.

Should be left to pumps, power generation, ships and heavy commercial vehicles only, you don't need to waste your time putting up with diesel eccentricity with <4500KG GVM with what forced induction has done to unleaded engines in the past 15 years.
