120 series TD4
2004 Model, Metalic Blue
Nudge bar by East Coast Bullbars
Auxillary Battery
Cooper ATR Discoverer Tyers
Full window tint
Electraphone TX3440.
Bought the prado new in '04 its done 108,000klms. have not done any big trips apart from holiday to the coast etc.
Towing a Coromal Corvair 540 Pop top caravan, I get a few comments on how the vehicle looks, I do a little sales rep work around the Riverina area of NSW and get envious comments from other reps who think its a company car.
I really love the way it cruises along, I find that if on those trips I sit at approx 98-99klm/hour i get around 10.8 - 10.9 ltr/100klms.
Towing the van it makes a big difference re headwind tail wind also hilly terrain.
Consumption is then around 13 to 16 ltr/100 that is keeping the right foot gently on the pedal sitting on 90 kays.
I have taken the plunge and paid the deposit to have Desielgas fitted by Diesel Gas Australia. I expect it will be fitted by end of Nov.'08.
Trying to keep accurate records of feul consumption to compare after the gas and economy is the main reason for having it done. I have read a few artilcles before deciding.
Planning a big trip with a mate next year with the vans starting at Mildura-Pt.Agusta-Cooper pedy-Uluru-Alice-Darwin-Broome-down the west coast Perth - Margaret river etc. and return to Cowra via Adelaide.
Trust this hasn't been too long an intro.
Looking forward to hearing from anybody on any of the above
