Hi guys,
Sorry have not been able to respond with regards to the performance of the Scorpio 4x4 due to work pressures!! But as I am relaxing before going for my ultra marathon this Sunday thought I would jot down my thoughts on this.
My Scorpio is the non CRDE one done about 45k without any major issues. The 4X4 set up here is similar to one that is on the Bolero. Does not have any differential lock options but given the torque and the kind of offroading I went for had no issues with the power part of the setup. However if I would want to do some serious off roading then the following would certainly be essential:
- remove the plastic cladding
- remove the foot assist which reduces the clearance and also hits the trees/ rocks on the side
- increase the clearance. This is one major area which is of concern in the Scorpio. This would mean that one would have to be extremely careful while driving on roads as the CG would be changed radically
Other than the above one can go for additional goodies - better/ specific tyres, winch, some training!!
