Could someone let me know roughly what sort of fuel economy you get in a triton v6 2000 model.Mainly highway cruising.

A friend of mine has a 2002 model. He's getting around 15l/100k's around town. Towing is touching on 20l/100k's. Not oily rag stuff by a long way. My new Navara is just as bad er I mean good??

cheers

Hi Dave,

I don't what the fuel consumption should be, however , I might be able to help you reduce it like many others are doing. Read my "Press Release" on Bi-tron. E-mail me.

I have a 98 challenger which I'm pretty sure has the same 3L petrol V6. I get almost spot on 11.6 l/100k's every tank. Probably 60/40 highway/round town. Triton may have different gearing being a work truck, not sure. If you do a search on challenger you will find other peoples figures. Generally seems to be 10-11 l/100k's highway, 12-13 round town. It's one of the most economical petrol v6's.

David,

We get 10.7l/100km when on the highway which drops to 13l/100km in city traffic. "Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"

We have the standard 75 litre tank but are about to upgrade it to a LR 14o litre for towing the camper. The gearboxes in the Triton seem to be rock solid - this is our second Triton and not a problem with either of them. BTW the thrust bearings on every Triton I've ever seen are noisy."Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"
