If your looking for a pick up you'd be better off buying a Nissan Navara. (174bhp)

You can chip em too.

Before Tuning Box = 128 kw / 174 hp / 403 nm.


With Tuning Box = 154 kw / 209 hp / 484 nm.

As for a recovery vehicle, the transit are a bit dated...

I don't know what i mean tbh. Some vehicles are classed as plant and can be driven on normal license or something but it's not just diggers and the like iirc.

The higher the rear is the more oversteer you'll get... in theory...
