So a petrol 3L, yeah now I can see why its thirsty and gutless, the better D40's are the 2.5L Turbo Diesel Auto

it is the 2.5 turbo diesel. And it gets like 450km a tank around town and it's 70l aswell.

Interesting, is it the 7 speed auto? The manual usually is the one that struggles, for some reason the auto makes them get up and go a lot better. Is it the 2.5L 4cyl or the 3L V6 Diesel?

Mates got a D22 with the 3L 4cyl Turbo Diesel manual, has reasonable power once the turbo kicks in and gets roughly 800km to a tank around town. Pretty good and reliable bus.

I took a D40 nav on a 2500km highway trip one week..

Fuel consumption difference between 100 on cruise (96 on GPS) and 110 on cruise (105 on GPS) was ridiculous.. She ran just under 10L/100km on the lower speed but once you were over the 100 k mark it just guzzled and went up to 13-14L/100km..

I like the turbo diesel D22 as they seem to be more off-road ready than the D40.. Definitely not a comfortable car to cruise around in though..

If you are doing a lot of highway work my order of preference for dual cab utes is:

Amarok

Hilux SR5

Ranger

BT-50

Navara D40

D-Max

D-22

Triton

And yes all were within 12 months old and I would have done 2000-5000kms in each minimum..

Out of all those I've only really taken a D22 and a triton seriously off road. I'd be too worried about scratching a hilux or ranger or something..

And to everyone with kids considering these cars.. A lot of them need aftermarket child restraint brackets installed.. These cost about $250-$400 each and require mod plating the car to comply with current standards..

I only found this out because our work utes are private use also..
