Many drivers feel frustrated while driving, making simple overtaking a big problem. Applying full-throttle is a natural reaction when they think their Holden Colorado RC 3.0 4JJ-1 is incapable of performing as they expect.
This is because a diesel engine is meant to deliver a strong "torque" delivery and towing force at middle engine speed ranges (2000-4000rpm). As a result, the car cannot complete an overtake even at full throttle if driving on a gently sloping road with a medium load onboard.
This results in potentially unsafe driving conditions and higher fuel consumption.
