Second generation (1992–2002)
1995 Daihatsu Rocky SE 2.8TD Wagon (F78)

The second generation was introduced in 1992 and available for export the following year. Among the evolutions was the replacement of the early leaf sprung axles by independent front suspension and a coil sprung rear axle. The petrol engine was enlarged to 2.2 L, with a small power hike to 91 hp (67 kW), while the 2.8 Turbo Diesel was fitted with an intercooler, resulting in a power increase to 102 hp (75 kW).



SO SAYETH WIKI...
