Hi all
Anyone know the true weight of the VE Omega utes? 6 cylinders 3.6 and the 3.0 litre. Fuel consumption? with both auto and manual.
I saw that the VZ ute is about 1530kg and the VE omegas are the same or a bit more than the sedans at 1650kg.
So
Made me think
if the VZ is 1.5 tonne, in manual. Is the diff shorter in the utes (To rev out quicker to aid carrying extra loads) compared to the sedans. Maybe fit a sedan diff to improve economy in the ute. Cause its not lugging around the extra weight of the sedan?? It will be rare for me to carry heavy loads. I'm not interested in racing or off the mark get aways as I do a lot of country highways.
Thanks
Rudi
