[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 565981, member: 5729"] If the revs go up as it gets away well then it's engine related and it's either boost the compression or fit a exhaust brake. If the revs stay low but you gain speed then it's loss of traction, alloy tray utes are only half as good as steel tray utes in the bush. Bit like fitting a solid bull bar and winch , this guarantees you will need to engage 4x4 every time your off road. We have two single cab tritons they are both 2013 models from memory give or take a year and we often go into foot on the dash country without to much issues, when they do get away it's a 4 wheel slide and slipping her back into high 4x4 is the only way to get back into control. I also have a 2013 sr5 V6 auto daul cab and I can tell you a modern auto is a real pleasure in the bush, traction control turns off as soon as you go into low range and the auto will hold in the gear selected. The auto is excellent at holding on hills and makes gentle movements very simple and backing off on climbs there's no roll back. [/QUOTE]
