Adequate is the word I would use. Can't wait to get that other diff in there, discovered there is an incline limit to both 1st and reverse today that is not much. Was a a job site had to take a couple running starts to get backed up a relatively steep drive. I need some serious granny gearing in this thing.
Power seems ok, I go back and forth between which is more powerful, the van with the turbo 616, or the na 123 616 I have as a DD. They are pretty comparable power wise
