SUV real world dyno outputs

[yebo]

To get back to the topic, I do wonder. After looking at various Speedlab dyno sheets, I find that the Fortuner/Hilux 3.0 and the Montero/Strada 3.2 give only around 120whp. And then I see that the non VGT 2.5 Strada/Montero's also hit 120whp and a Strada GLS Sport V hit 170whp. I've driven the VGT Strada, and I know for a fact that it has difficulty going past 185km/h. What gives?

Pick up kasi. Same as with my bt50, 200 hp and 470N-m torque pero i doubt if it will go past 185kph (speedometer is only up to 200 kph). It is designed to carry loads and pull trailers, not for top speed. Kaya yung upcoming 2014/2015 ford everest if it has the same gear box as the ranger/bt50 e it will not be worth it, especially if it also has the same quirks (wide turning radius, hard steering).

Not really the gearing - whether I use 4th, 5th, or 6th gear, my Ranger has difficulty past 170 kph. 175 kph was my highest on a straight road. 180 with a slight incline. I doubt that after chipping it, I'll exceed 180.

It's more of the aerodynamics - the Ranger has a drag coefficient of 0.40. The BT-50 shouldn't be far off. That's pretty low for a pick-up but still much higher than a car or even a CUV.

More important than top speed though for me is responsiveness and acceleration from 60-120 because that's the average speed on our Nat'l Highways. Sa SLEX/NLEX/SCTEX lang ako nakakabyahe ng lagpas 140 kph effortlessly.
