Hi Dave It drives really well, much more relaxed, no more high revving when pulling away and much better torque at low revs. The top end speed is now 60 instead of 70, any faster and you need ear plugs! If I ever come across an overdrive I'll put it on. Towing a 1 ton chipper was much easier as well. Not been off road yet but will be on Friday so will see how it goes there. Cheers....
