Guest loose_kid Guests Posted 27/10/05 03:06 AM Share Posted 27/10/05 03:06 AM (edited) hey everyone, ive just been looking at the specs for the xr6 turbo utes on redbook.com.au and I've noticed that the 03's are lighter than the mark 2 utes by some 200kg's ... It's got me dumb-founded as I can't see where the extra weight came from... Maybe the xr turbo has just been eating too many HSV's thanks fellasLuke Edited 27/10/05 03:12 AM by loose_kid Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20962-03-vs-04-weights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not in the car when it was weighed. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20962-03-vs-04-weights/#findComment-308982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 22y 25d Location: Birkdale Posted 19/09/06 07:42 AM Share Posted 19/09/06 07:42 AM That would explain why my ute weighs over 1900kgs with passengers.
