Anyone put a recent Ifor canopy on the back? I had one on an Invincible ten years ago and it never fitted well,

Had an Ifor canopy on last pick up. Present pick up, I got a Gammic..................(draw your own conclusions!!)

Something far wrong with it. It will improve as the miles go on it, but definitely shouldn’t be as bad as that. Mine has done 24000mls and ilfor trailer averaging round about 30mpg. 1000 mile round trip not towing averaging 40 mpg. It is chipped which stopped this changing up and down gears.

That's a spot rate and the reading depends very much on the position of your foot on the throttle or even the slightest load change. You need at least a couple of full tank to near empty measurements to get a good average economy figure. Also modern diesels just keep getting better for the first 15000 miles.

Great
Just about to take delivery was expecting good mpg(manual though)

 

[Guy]

Ok so Iv done a little test ,
I brimmed the tank did 100 miles of mixed driving and then brimmed it again ..
It did 18.4 MPG

Not good enough ...

 

[Johnnyboxer]

Probably it, mine's seldom more than a few miles from the farm.

Long runs like I do, are better for the mpg

My word! For that MPG I’d expect 500 hp and a better sound track than a diesel hi lux! Even my mighty shogun beats that and it weights about 17 tons with only a five speed auto box from the 80’s

2018 spec 3.2 ranger auto (adblue version) on 4400 miles from new mostly towing/short runs averge so far is 22.4mpg.

The non adblue 2015 3.2 auto I had did 21mpg doing same work.

I have the old shape hilux (65 reg), fuel economy is appaling still. It’s now on 24000 miles. Long journeys can’t get over 25-28 mpg. Towing a 3t horse box it goes down to 18 mpg. Ride quality is worse than old d40 Navara I had before.

I have a 14 plate one and am lucky to get 25! How do you drive yours? I must admit I creep about rather than drive it like I stole it. Perhaps this is the trouble. Used to have a Transit van that gave better MPG if you thrashed it rather than go steady?

I've a 63 plate 3lit Invincible auto, nice truck but its a greedy bugger.
Average about 23-24 mostly doing unladen short runs 3-4 miles. Got 31 on a 300 mile round trip once. Don't even think of measuring it with the stockbox on.
Seriously wondering if a remap or chip would help.

 

[essexpete]

Can't believe how poor some of these figures are. My very elderly tractor like landcruiser is not much worse and better than a few.

Similar here. Anybody got a recommendation for a chip?

The guy I bought my mountain top lid off had a truck the same as mine and he had a Racechip in his. Reckoned it gave him 5mpg more doing the same running, no problems in the last 30k he'd had his fitted for either.
Theres tons of chip tuner companies if you search www.

Don't know much about it, not really fussed for more power but a boost in the mpg would help.

It is the mpg that I would like to improve too, plenty of power there as it is. Just cautious of buying the wrong chip.

Same truck as yours but a 12 plate. Just worked the MPG out from fill to fill and it’s done 23.8 on a mix of driving but no towing. Last time I brought a bull down from Scotland with a 12ft trailer it done a mind blowing 15.2! I’ve been looking at chipping it for economy but have been told it’s cheaper and safer to have it remapped.

204,000 km
Averages 9km / litre
Fridge behind the seat, swag on the back, ready for 4 months away from home cotton picking

Towing anything heavy drops it back to 5 or 6 km / l
But why you'd tow anything heavy with a little ute like these is beyond me ?

Getting better than that with a Ford 3.5 ltr twin turbo Ecoboost in an F-150....Gasoline.!
That's with a US gallon of 3.78 ltrs versus 4.5 ltr imperial gallon.....ouch
