Maybe those fd-s dont get Dpf? I guess it is too small of a difference to notice but anyway..
My partner and I have an FD and GD and always comment that the FD feels more powerful, while the GD feels like it is progressive in power delivery. The FD diesel feels a bit rougher than the GD
Does gd have dualmass flywheel? Maybe this is the reason for lower vibrations.. (I read somewhere that fd has single which made me happy because I hear lots of people have problems with dual mass flywheels)
I only tow with our FD. It would be happy interesting to see how different the GD would be to drive with a tonne being towed behind it
Maybe not, with the GD having a higher top gear, it may mean having to change gears more often...
It just means you won't use 6th gear much when towing. In 5th gear it will do ca 90 km/h @ 1900 revs according to Outfit Matching Car and CaravanCan anyone with a GD CRDI confirm that..?

(I read somewhere that fd has single which made me happy because I hear lots of people have problems with dual mass flywheels)I doubt it! I don't think the difference is THAT significant. Probably just a bit more sound proofing and stiffer body construction. Even our top rated tech, Cruiserfied can't confirm either way, but hasn't come across one.
