After having previously owned Turbo Diesels, I decided to try out a V8 Cruiser. I just find that they leave a lot to be desired in tackling any type of hill or slope highway driving. I have 305x16 BFG All Terrains which I must admit ,won't help the situation ,but I have ran the same tyres on the last 3 cruisers I've had. I personaly think that the engine in the Cruiser is more suited to a car, eg high revving, and something with a "Few More Cubic inches " would help get over the problem. Apart from that I love it. What do you guys think!!! P S.Why I didn't go for another diesel was because I turn them over every 3 years, and the extra $12000 I just couldnt justify.
