8 seconds is pretty good. Interesting comparison with the BMW, some of them are unbelievably heavy topping over 2 tonnes!

 

Well i found a video of a bmw 525d (218hp) Xdrive and it did 0-100 in exactly the same time, tho on a circuit the bmw will definitely be faster and get better mpg!
About the weight, yes those F10 series bmw weigh a lot. With xdrive it weighs +- 1750kg the V6 Navara weighs about 2150kg so 400kg in weight difference!

Result is @ 1:50

I'm curious how the np300 will perform, the best i got from my "old" D40 was around 10,5 seconds...

 

0-60

Your making my 2.5ltr Truck jealous :cry

 

If you reduce the circumference of tyres by changing to a different size/type/brand, you will obviously get slighty better acceleration as you are, in effect, changing the overall gearing!

Similarly, acceleration will reduce with tyres of a larger circumference (or indeed with a higher rolling resistance).

Do not forget that the speedometer will also start undereading/overeading if you change effective tyre diameter, but I assume nobody would seriously try to measure 0-60 (or 0-100kph, about 62mph) by using the speedo - it is near impossible to get accurate numbers.

Also you need to be on a flat, straight road, and take several reading in BOTH directions, and average them (for reasons too obvious to state).

 

agreed with the above the smaller the rolling radius of the wheels and tyres the quicker it will get to an indicated 100KPH


however for a pickup anything less than 10 seconds is dam good unless your in Dodge Ram SRT10 spec or a modded F150 Harley

 

Well my test was 1 way only, it was on a flat road that was a little bit wet and there was very little wind.

The 0-100kph time (not 0-60, that time would be slightly faster) wasn't done using the speedometer but using an app on my phone.

Yeah indeed , anything under 10 sec is a good acceleration for a truck, like the Ford F-150 2.7 ecoboost did a 0-60!!! not 62! in 5.9 seconds but thats with lots of brake torque to make the engine rev very high. But just imagine if mine got tuned and a bit of braketorque, then i might see 7 seconds!! :mrgreen:

But for now i'm done reading acceleration times as i don't want to destroy the truck and besides its not made for that so, for the moment just riding on big waves of mad torque artycheer:

A 2015 Ford F-150 2.7 Ecoboost did a 0-60 in 5.485 seconds, thats the fastest stock truck i have ever seen !!!

@ 8:14
