Just swapped out my 2004 2.9 CRDi auto for a 2007 2.9 CRDi GS Auto. (UK spec)
I thought the old truck was good, but the new style vehicle is great. The 5 speed auto box gives much better revs at motorway speeds, it's much quieter, the climate control is excellent and my kids think the electric sliding doors are the dogs danglies!
The only issue (and minor one at that) is that at slow speeds (25-30mph) on a very light throttle there is a small amount of jerkiness. Has anyone else experienced this?
The 5-speed auto box does seem to keep the revs around town a lot lower than the old 4-speed box would, and I wonder if the jerkiness is the box hunting gears?
Great truck though - well pleased with the upgrade.
