Daihatsu Rugger Engines and Transmissions

Diesel power defines the Daihatsu Rugger engine range, a sensible match for a rugged utility vehicle: strong low-speed pulling and modest fuel use matter more than outright speed. A manual transmission and selectable four-wheel drive with low range suit the drivetrain to towing, steep ground and loose surfaces.
