Re: 2017 Winning Blue XLS Auto
I run the Faulken Wildpeak at3w on the road and absolutely love them. They are mounted on the factory rims where lift and side wall is less important. I have the Mickey P3's as my play tyre on 16" csa rims. Reason for the post is that I notice a difference not only in economy and silence with the Wi...

With a front e locker and quality under body armour thru to the transfer case and you will have yourself a beast. The auto will hold gears after long periods of low range in sports mode. Soon after getting back onto the bitumen it will re-learn that holding gears is no longer required.

The auto is a manual as well as an auto,, you're missing the clutch pedal. If need be, lift your left leg up and down each time you select another gear.

Re: My Wildtrak "Zeus"
I run a second fuel filter between the tank and the oem filter. Additional precaution when having to fill up in more remote areas. I suggested the Windbooster due to it having eco mode which is less than the factory curve. I have the 9 mode version and imho it should be standard factory issue.
