I have never driven one, but if you are thinking of buying new.
LTC are only making Automatic TX4s from August 2015, no more manuals after that

Seems the tx4 manual gearbox is not as popular as tx2 manual. Have you got an auto then robin |

Nah sorry mate, only a manual TX2. I did once drive a tx4 manual a short distance ( i mean short), just from one parking space to another. ( I was doing work on the wheel chair ramp) In that short distance i did notice how nice and light it was just like a normal car, however the gear stick was a little worn from the selector end, the cab was a 07 plate with around 300 thousand. A usual sign from high millage cabs. Already had the selector bolt on the TX2 replaced twice after it sheared and still feels a bit like stirring soup. I find the TX2 to heavy and cumbersome on the clutch. Might be down the ford gearboxes and clutch kit. Not like a TX1 which is smooth under foot in my opinion. There are quite a few up here in Edinburgh, but still auto's are the majority like everywhere. Not really a good test but hopefully someone will come back with a proper analysis or maybe pop into a dealer and ask for a test drive?? Robin |
