Thread: New Hilux Fuel Consumption

I am really quite interested to find out what the new V6 rangers are doing though, they are reported to be better than the early Rangers but with the same get up and go as the later 3.2's. Mate with a 2.2L Wildtrack is looking to flick it for a V6 Ranger - but the waiting list...

Recently bought the PX4 V6 Sport. Went from a 3.2 PX3. Fuel consumption is down by about 0.5L/100km but it's early days and I have not taken a canopy with this one. The wife is driving a 2.2 biturbo PX3 v2. It's a nice ute too but nothing like the V6. The V6 will eat my last 3.2 even after it had the computer re-mapped. I've driven Rangers and Couriers of every kind my entire career and the latest version is massively better than any of the past versions. I've never had anything but total reliability from Ford. YMMV but if not think there's anything close to the new Ranger other than the Chev Silverado and there's a lot of tin between the two. I drove a Ram in the US early 2000's and that's a mistake I'd not make again (but supposedly they are making a better truck now, they couldn't make one worse I'm sure of that)
