Offroad-Express

Afternoon all,
Just pondering about getting a nice big whale of a truck for dependable everyday transport, shifting kayaks, bikes, camping gear etc. Thinking about a 60 series cruiser or a 4.2 Diesel Safari. Any thoughts? In particular I'd like to know realistically what sorta fuel consumption I can look at ks per litre.
Cheers.
Greg.

Mongoose, my Automatic 2.7 Turbo Terrano gets 9 litres per 100 km (30mpg) driving from Auckland to Hamilton with a light load, if your Safari is a manual you should see 12 litres per 100 km around (22mpg). Mountainous terrain and a sick engine could decrease this quite significantly as could a heavy load or trailer

400 to 450 K's per 62L tank in a long wheelbase running the TD42.

They will stretch out to 500k's if your carefull of how you drive.

Just over 9MPG in my hilux (thirsty chev v6)

But hey its only gas...
