2006 4.2L diesel Landcruiser economy?

Joe,
6kl per litre, that equates to around 16.6Lt /100Km, depending on how heavy the boat is this might be about right.

I have the same motor (Toyota 4.2 100 sr TD) in my Patrol & towing my 2.2 tonne caravan returns me a consumption of around 17-18Lt / 100Km. Without the van that drops to a respectable 11-12Lt / 100 Km.
cheers Colin.

Thats about 16.3 litres per 100 ks. For towing it seems about right depending on what you are towing of course, if it's a 12 foot tinny it seems a bit high, but if its a 2 tonne cruiser then it'd be pretty good.

There are those among us who say that model is the best one they made.

this question was recently asked on LCOOL forum, the responses ranged anywhere from 13 - 18 ltrs / 100klms, even worse when towing fully loaded.

G/Day Joe, ...As far as i've seen thats about right,... Where your going to give a lot of Toyo owners the Craps is the price you paid!!, if its a good one...Bargin!! for that year model with those kms and for that price being a diesel.... Good Luck and happy travels.


Cheers Axle,

Hi Joe,

I've had my 1HZ for about 5 years now (2003 LC100 GXL) and kept fuel consumption records the whole time. For the mileage your vehicle has done I was getting about 13L/100kms average (unladened). On trips fully loaded, it would get up to 15-16L/100 with the roof rack fully packed on-board.

Depending on what your towing, and assuming the consumption figure you've quoted is towing the boat, 16-17L/100kms is about right. If you're not towing, then it's a bit high. Have you got a roof rack permanently mounted on the vehicle? This can also affect fuel consumption by up to 5-10%.

Cheers

Hi All, I wonder if someone can confirm or deny this, but I had heard that towing with the troopy wasn't a good idea as the fifth gear and reverse are on a smaller spline and as a result of towing it breaks the housing for this spline and jams the gearbox?

There is a mod you can do to make that better by around 1 - 1.5litres per 100kms. So you should be able to boost this up to around 7kms per litre.
If you are interested, ring me 0422942382.
Mod takes around 5 mins.
Need to ring after 9pm Adelaide time.
I just need to be standing in front of my engine at the the same time you are too.
I have the same car and a Toyota mechanic told me this little trick..
Cheers.

You say Wide Sunraisias, just how wide a tyre are you running, you will get a lot better mileage running 265's or 275 than you will running 305's or 315's.
