My 2.8L diesel ( non turbo) pajero gets about 15L per 100km's when towing my small 700kg van , or put another way about 600km's per 90L tank, does that sound about right?? Also will a range of 600km's be enough to get me between most
places around Australia , particularly up north and across the top.

Morning
John.
That fuel consumption sounds about right for a non turbo diesel towing a (small) van. You could actually improve that by bolting on the turbo which would allow you to hold higher gears, but that may not be a viable option for you.
Is a 600km range enough?
Well the answer is of course “that depends”, but I am sure that the range would be enough for most
places that you would want to tow a van. It would certainly be enough if you stick to the main bitumen roads.
