40K? For a 12 year old truck with 110k on it 😂😂😂
Hold my beer my 5 year old V6 rok with 50k on it must be worth £50k then?
Go watch 4wd24/7 on youtube and tell me you don't want to be Shauno!

The V8 Diesel in those 70 series is a phenomenal engine. I had the pleasure of one on Fraiser Island many years ago and I remember thinking if only Land Rover had put a bigger engine in the Defender....

Update.

Ford ranger is running around 27mpg at 300 miles still showing half a tank.
you don't seriously believe the trip computer or fuel gauge do you?? --
brim to brim several times is the only way to get a true average

Kia just tripped 9k and have every receipt with miles per fill recorded --
will have a sit down and work it out shortly ;):)
fill to fill has been returning between 34-38mpg, but it does a lot of short hops
the couple of good runs it has had have been very good (y)

That’s about the same as the RAV4. It’s dropped a bit since I’ve been using the heated seats every day.

Gra, I don’t believe trip computers, official figures, or Caravan Club members figures. I can remember years ago caravanners saying they could get over 40 mpg out of a Defender or Disco while towing.

Do heated seats chew more fuel? Just bought a 3.5l petrol car. Other half doesn't do a lot of miles so not too fussed on mpg and wanted petrol so short journeys don't kill it

Not something we often think about, but there’s no such thing as free electricity in a car, any EV driver will tell you about the range hit with the lights, etc. Same with a proper non-milk float vehicle, you burn fuel powering the lights, demister, heated seats, etc., it all adds up.

65 litres - 385 miles..... 10% loaded trailer

Got lots of towing today so didn't want to chance it, but still had 15l in tank in theory

That's almost 10 mpg more than me so I'd say that was very good in Devon
