Anyone running a new 2.8 auto, how do you like it ?, fuel economy? ….
What sort of £ if I can be so rude in askingJust spoke to dealer in Telford…… 49 week lead time
How bad is he finding the economy? I run a Ranger 3.2 auto and general running not towing it’s about 29/30 mpg …..Brother in law is running one, great pickup….apart from the economy side of things, it’s his third hilux and the worst by far, he got it remapped recently and runs the tyres pretty hard just to get the mpg up a bit which has made a difference
Yikes. That spec, less roll cover, was 31.5 with nfu voucher 3 weeks ago. Ordered an invincible at 28.5. Just hoping the navara hangs together til it arrives. Tbh when a dmax was at least the same money and a ssangyong only 1k less (but on the forecourt), it was a no-brainer. Rushed into confirmation by one of those 'prices withdrawn at 5pm' jobs.Was quoted £40k plus vat Invincible X auto , roll cover , bed liner, metallic and tow hitch……
He was running between 22-25, now gets 30 on a long run, that’s not towing!How bad is he finding the economy? I run a Ranger 3.2 auto and general running not towing it’s about 29/30 mpg …..
Same as my 2.2 then!How bad is he finding the economy? I run a Ranger 3.2 auto and general running not towing it’s about 29/30 mpg …..
Not setup properly, especially if teh truck is working hard pulling a trailer...Only done 350 miles in mine. Will still be tight I suppose. Goes very well. Can go pretty fast easily. I thought with the 2.4 auto you had to just cruise along, if you planted the throttle it would just do a lot of reving and not much accelerating, you need to be fairly gentle to get it over 25mpg. Tri axle cattle float loaded and it’s around 16. Doesn’t really know it’s got a loaded trailer behind it. Just snores along but does drink diesel! Can’t have all that power for free I suppose. Seems to be doing a re gen very often! Very happy overall and worth the 11month wait!
A dealer demo sets you back 33k€ + vat here. Bone stock extra cab.They are getting ridiculous cost wise.had my invincible x 2 years now,with linex,sports bar and metallic paint and paid £23k plus vat.I’m glad my local dealer the useless SLM Toyota did and continue to ignore me.

Maybe this year. That's through Wooler - what credance do give that? He did have some drug dealer spec that supposedly might come in July.What was the delivery quoted as?
I ordered one end of September and was quoted April/May delivery but that may change!!
It's been hard to see any value in any pickup ever. Prices start from 45k€ incl. Vat and you can tow the same loads with van (that cost 10k€ less new). Load carrying capacity on short bed pickups is a joke.Getting hard to see the value in them.
Im hoping to be provided with a pickup for work soon, hard to know the best way for the farm of getting one tho, lease, HP, buy used etc?
I would echo the comments above - I had a hire one for a month over Christmas on insurance. Nice to drive but I was mightily glad to get back in my old Nissan D22!Only done 350 miles in mine.

What do you mean?Not setup properly, especially if teh truck is working hard pulling a trailer...
