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:AmarokHilux SR5RangerBT-50Navara D40D-MaxD-22TritonAnd 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..Getting a DPChip would help with power and economy on these too.Didn't know about the child restraints, is the Navara affected?

Usually they just run a bar along the back of the cab.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
