3L engine only seems to be on the top of the range one and i hate leather seats
the 2.5 kicks out 140+ bhp enough for a demountable

Looked again as the 200 bhp beast is heavy on road tax
Can get a low mileage 10 yr old one for a price auto with tiptronic 170 bhp
thing is about hiluxes i can get julian at overland cruisers to check it out and service and he is good !
any idea of mpg with demountable on board ?

Morning Rich,
I think we're all pretty much reporting similar MPG figures of around 21 - 25 MPG
Anything more & you can take it as a Bonus
