2007 Hilux V6 petrol?

Crikey UK hopalong,

Is your next question 'what numbers will win the next tattslotto?' LOL

I'm not an expert but here's a start:
Any good for the outback? yes.
Fuel consumption? depends on too many variables to give you a straightforward answer, but with petrol, say around 11 - 15 litres/100km depending upon road and weather conditions.
Cost savings? Cost outlay vs fuel saving is only one factor. I think most would say go for diesel if you can afford it.
$$$? approx $5000

Cheers
John

Pop over to www.newhilux.net and you will get all the info you need.
Those that have the petrol are very happy with them, they will use more fuel than the diesel but depends how many k's you want to base it on to justify the different costs.

If you google ARB you should be able to find a rec retail price list that will give you all the prices.
From memory, LR tank $1400 , snorkel about $700. Rear locker $1800 ish m suspension $1800 (a lot of the guys were having sagging front spring issues with the OME gear)

Hello uk skippy.
first of all mine is a 2002 hilux 3.4 it is on gas also, it gives me 400 odd to a tank of fuel and 400 odd to a tank of gas depends on all the factors, it goes where the others go and some, it is stock standard as for the rest I don't know, cheers Bill.

As far as fuel is concerned, if you are to use petrol, then for outback/long distance trips you can buy a plastic tank which will go in the tub of the vehicle and provide you with extra fuel capacity. Has to seal well re, fumes though. These are usually around $300 to $400 and can be easily removed after the trip. This means a saving of around $1000 and provides versatility.

The suspension and a dual battery system will also be of obvious benefit.

Unless you are going to travel on very dusty roads or intend following too close behind other then a snorkle isn't essential.
Air lockers or even Auto Lokka style diffs are and advantage depending what and where you will go. Perhaps a traction device/s like Max Trax may be cheaper and do what you need. All depends on the frequency of the need. Max Trax are no good for continuous sand or uphill stuff.
