Don't think in a million years that you will get 40 ish from a Hilux 3.0, I have one and its 28/30 combined, best I've had was 31.2 mpg while I was doing the first 600 miles at 50mph, and the speedo reads wrong by approximately 7mph so you are only doing 55 when the speedo says 62 A very lovely truck but it's in leagues with the diesel demons for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jack lee 137 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 the answer is in front of yous,landrover disco with isuzu engine,i have one for the last five years,unbeatable,all the cheap prices from paddocks for running gear,brakes,etc,and the reliable jap engine,awesome power when needed,can pull double cattle box over the hills with ease,highly recommend looking into it especially for the hunting game,you dont no when the next keeper might decide to thrash your motor if your parked in the wrong place,if it happens just get old disco and change bodys over,believe me it happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
