Anyone driving a Hilux with an auto box? If so how do you like it?
Sounds good thanks NickI got one,in fact on the second.very relaxing to drive and I’d never go back to manual.often it can’t make up its mind to stay in fifth or go into sixth but apart from that it’s fine.regalarly pull 3.5 tons and get 28/32mpg.seen 44 on a run.current truck is 18 reg
Nick...
That must be an Invincible then, right, or have the other models been upped?I got one,in fact on the second.very relaxing to drive and I’d never go back to manual.often it can’t make up its mind to stay in fifth or go into sixth but apart from that it’s fine.regalarly pull 3.5 tons and get 28/32mpg.seen 44 on a run.current truck is 18 reg

I’m not happy 19 plate invincible X Auto , towing 2.2t all in 12.9 MPG
Bloody ridiculous
Steady on, you only got the thing a week or so ago.
Give it a chance to loosen up a bit.
Yes it’s an invincible xThat must be an Invincible then, right, or have the other models been upped?
Anyone put a recent Ifor canopy on the back? I had one on an Invincible ten years ago and it never fitted well, I'm about to get a new Hilux and am wondering if the Ifor canopies are better now - because the trailers aren't...
My first invincible x I had 7mpg for first tank full and slowly went up to 17.i complained and was told to give it time but they took it in wiped ecu and reloaded it and now on 28/30 pulling 3.5 tons.seen 44 on a run.I’m not happy 19 plate invincible X Auto , towing 2.2t all in 12.9 MPG

You have a good memory.yes that’s correct.was dumping too much fuel into engine.current one is fine thoughYou had a faulty sensor though which thought the air temp was the Artic at -50c, didn't you ?

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?Yes
Last of the Mk7 3 litre Hilux with 5speed autobox, bought new in 2016
Really like it, although no towing
Comfy, powerful and goes well
Gearbox works well
Mpg is really good and it has averaged 32.9 mpg (measured & calculated) over the last 16500 miles
NO Bloody Ad Blue either !!!

Probably it, mine's seldom more than a few miles from the farm.Dunno
It just always does 31-35 mpg
Lots of long runs without a tow bar might be the answer
