troopy fuel consumption...

The factory turbo 6cyl troopies (HDJ78) ran from 2001 to 2006.
The normally aspirated diesels (HZJ75 and HZJ78) ran from 1990 to 2006. The 78 series with coil front end came out in 1999.

Lots of people fit aftermarket turbos to the 1Hz motor. I personally wouldn't touch a troopie with aftermarket turbo. Pick of the bunch is the HDJ78.

Fuel consumption - official figures were about 11.9 l/100k for the factory TD and about 13.0 l/100k for the 1Hz.
Real life figures are about this mark, until you start adding fat tyres, roofracks and weight.

with the HDJ78 aare there any obvious signs of engine wear??

Also considering a 3.0litre hilux with a prefab camper on rear... but not real happy with exit angle...

Hi
I am lucky enough to own a 2008 Troopy with a Kea Pop Top conversion, and to that I have had fitted it out with almost all the goodies.
On my last trip ,quoting from the dairy, travelling around 110ks into a strong wind 13.4 lt to a 100ks.(Apologies to Scubby, almost have had time to sort out the numbers on the calculator)
From Brdsville to Innamincka via Allabury 11.8 lt to a 100ks, hardly got over 80ks, corrugations and gibbers, 600 odd Ks of a long and rough road, never saw another vehicle. Dropped 69.80 Lt into he main tank $130 odd $ along with the Iced Coffee @ Innamincka
I am quite happy with that fuel wise.
Not so sure about the shocks though.

some nice swiss girls at the P im advised me 17l/100 was there average out of a thier 03 diesel around the top and down thru broome...

they had skinny wheels but was a hightop...

My Cruiser Trayback used to get around 1200kms per 180L, sitting on speeds between 100km-115km/h. Its impossible to get a real figure unless you have an inline meter on your fuel lines isnt it, as i reckon i still had about 15litres to go when dial was on empty on main tank. All other Cruisers i know of average this also sitting on the speed limit or a touch more. Of course the less k's and better condition the engine/fuel system is in the better it will be.

On another note though, drove a brand new Troopie today, straight from the toyota yard, travelled 500kms and it would of used 75Litres. Pretty bleep poor i would have thought. Only sitting on 110km/h. Bloody awesome grunt though, and i dont mind the new dash.

Not really built for economy the Troopies and Traybacks, but driven properly they can go a long way without a top up.
