ano ba yung curb weight?

dsl m/t = 2,415kg
dsl a/t = 2,350kg

bakit mas maliit ang curb weight ng a/t sa m/t?

Alam ko mas maliit ang gears ng A/T compared to M/T kaya siguro mas magaan ang curb weight. And minus the clutch mechanisms which could weigh more or less 100kgs.

No, gas-fed engines are significantly lighter than diesel-fed. The combustion area of gas engines are shorter and composed of aluminum parts, hence gas is much more combustible than diesel. While the latter needs heat to be able to burn thus needing longer or larger combustion area.

Curb Weight is the actual weight of the truck without any passengers or cargo in it. It’s the base weight that is used in subtraction to calculate the total weight of the vehicle with passengers and cargo.

While Gross Vehicle Weight is the total weight of the loaded vehicle. This includes the vehicle itself and the cargo that is loaded within that vehicle.

for just a difference of 5kg (gas a/t and dsl a/t), downgraded na yung rear brakes ng gas to drum?

Manufacturing details? Maybe the drum brakes costs much cheaper than discs.

but the gas patrol costs much much more than diesel patrols

**Ungas** · May 6th, 2003 02:23 PM

Because gas engines is more expensive than diesel engines.

sorry at bago lang ako mag reply sa mga forums...

I have read through this thread some comparison between the Patrol and Trooper... just some clarifications... Both are two wheel drive but the Trooper has LSD... does this mean that the Trooper will be better off road (dirt road) than the Patrol 2wd in stock form?

cta2,

In theory yes. But the Trooper loses in the tire department by running Dueler H/T's.

cta2::: Not only in that department, that OTEP took noted for. I have also noticed that the ground clearance for the Trooper is THE LOWEST so far from all the locally sold SUVs. (Oops! No flames from the Trooper owners please) :mrgreen:
