Hi guys
Ive been having some issues with my 2013 D4D Prado, most recently with poor fuel economy.
the truck is a tourer, manual, running 265/70/17 Cooper st maxx, 2 inch lift, snorkel and rhino rack bars and has approx 145k km on it..
Around town I used to get around 9-9.5 L/100km and on the highway towing a 1 tonne Camper approx 14 L/100km.
now I’m getting around 11-12 around town and approx 17 highway towing the same camper.
some background on my journey:
earlier in the the year I had the ecu remapped, which then ended up in 2 turbo rebuilds due to exhaust turbine failure.
i have since had the ecu map removed and the standard file replaced.
i have also just had the injectors replaced. And have checked/cleaned the air flow sensor.
other than all of this the truck is well looked after, has regular services, and has all the extra insurances such as catch can and fuel pre filter.
so I’m putting this out there to all the Prado and D4D Guys and girls, looking for some ideas as to what I can look further into.
cheers in advance!
