Question for L200 & Navara owners

[DDD 4]

Hi Folks,

just wondering what mileage you get out of a tank of fuel or indeed mpg. Particularly interested in those with previously used vehicles, i.e. second owners.

 

Think it's time for me to get a newer 4x4 so the old trusty Land Rover may have to go.

 

Thanks for looking

i have a navara on a 05 plate,had it from new and done about 40k. go all round europe and ireland in it, it's been a fantastic motor for the money. diesel and does over 25 to the gallon maybe nearer 30 on a run (very much a guestimate!)

I had a T reg L200 2.5TD it was rubbish on fuel, I hear the Nivaras are much better, And faster!

my navara is doing about 26mpg around the doors. it was doing 29-30 before i put the new tyres on it. mines got over 120000 miles on now and still sweet as a nut.

I drive a Nissan Hardbody, its the same as a Navara but has some small differances, like the engine is the 3 litre as used in there patrols, 150 bhp as the 2.5 litre is 133 bhp and the rear axle is a little differant. Around town i get 385 - 410 miles on a full tank which is 23-25 mpg , on a run driving like a dear old lady it has done 33-35 mpg and thats on BFG Muds 245-75-16 oh yes and its deisel, never had or used a L 200, hope this helps, ooh its on a 53 plate .

Thanks for the info folks.

 

So far, I've driven a 02 Navara - very bouncy & rolling, plus to top it off, the Mrs was in the back seats & puked all over it salesman wasn't too impressed!

Wasn't too impressed with it, not a great deal of room in front, once you have allyour gear in it would be cramped. Nowhere to stow a rifle either. Biggest upset was - slow as hell, no real grunt. My 200tdi 90 puts it to shame.

 

I've yet to drive a L200 and a Hilux (not surf).

 

Just trying to find the right one that's going to be suitable for shooting etc

hello mate, i have a 52 plate l200 warrior, lovely to drive and it goes anywher but it drinks the derv, about 20mpg round the doors no more than 27 on a run. the navara is better on fuel and has an extra 25bhp but not as nice to drive. the service intervals are better on the nissan aswell. hope this helps. big d

I drive a '05 L200 Animal which is chipped,and it is a fantastic truck,and I get 28mpg as an average,and,when i drove to and from Scotland I was getting about 34-36mpg.Oh,and I was really giving it some as well.

 

p.s. I think Nissan should of stuck to making army huts LOL
