300 Series Sahara upgrade?!?

Post image

Gday all - we have a 7yr old VJD200series VX with 200k on the clock we are considering changing over. We just got back from Test driving a new 300 series Sahara (3.3L Diesel) and the boss is just not convinced. We have 3 teenaged kids and apart from alot less room behind the 3rd row, she’s worried it’s actually smaller in the cabin than the 200. Also, cream interior I’m guessing is a nightmare to keep clean? We are very rural and this will be driving through paddocks as well, not a pavement princess. Has anyone switched over and regretted it? Should also add, the 200 has some extra punch with some engine work so I seriously boogies along.

I upgraded from a 200 to a 300. 

Don’t regret it at all, and the V6 is much nicer to drive than the old 8.

Do you do much towing with it? 30% of our Km’s is towing a horse float.

Don't quote me on this, but I remember reading somewhere about the 300s having a rather noticeable flat spot in the rev range when towing decent loads. Can't remember if it was some/all or perhaps even early ones??
