Done 40k in my hilux now. I’ll never be going back to a Manual. Less the extra fuel consumption it’s just so much nicer to use in every way. Open road with no towing I get about 10.3 per 100 but mix...

Did a long haul up and back down the NI over the weekend unladen less a few bags and loaded with the wife and kids. Reset the consumption reader at the start of the trip to see how it went. Not too...

A wee ways off

Definitely, I always get a chuckle seeing the utes that drive around nice and clean with a big lift, big muds and blacked out windows and a hard lid or bunch of impractical crap on it lol.

Yea good vid that one. After a few weeks and some more manual calculations plus resetting the calculator in the vehicle i’m sitting on about 10.8 - 11L for empty driving to and from work each day. It...

It varies depending on how bothered I can be lol. This time round I think I topped it up to visual so if I had stopped when it first popped then it would have been around 63 - 64L

Quick update. I did a week of running to and from work and got some proper numbers to calculate. 587km for 65L of fuel. By my math that gave me 11.07L per 100km. My dash reading has dropped over the...

Mate just sent me a photo. As mentioned his is practically identical to mine and it’s on 10.9L with not the most efficient type of driving. But yeah his has been tuned too I think.

For sure. Another good mate has a 2019 hilux built practically identical to mine but with BP-51 suspension instead. Last we spoke his was 10 point something but I need to follow up with him again to...

Thanks for all the input so far. Interesting to see the numbers from others. Honestly i’m not convinced that 13L to 100 is to be expected. I fully understand that it will be a chunk more due to the...

The marketing tells you the latest engine upgrade makes it 10% more efficient on fuel

Given what the specifications say you should get and the amount of money you spend to get the vehicle with a certain expectation, I would expect better then that personally. Shit in my mind any plain...

I have increased tyre size from factory 30.5” (265x65r17) to 31.5” (265x70r17). I ran a speedo test and it is spot on with the larger diameter tyre.

I have been wondering if a tune is the...

After 9 months of waiting we finally got our new hilux a week and a half ago. Really loving everything about the vehicle so far except one thing, at 1000km on the clock she is drinking 13L per 100km...
