Are these big Land Cruisers fuel efficient and highway speed friendly?
Much to everyone’s surprise, the 6 cylinder, 4.0L, turbocharged, direct injected diesel engine has a very high efficiency rating. Fully loaded, when driving the speed limit on highways, you can expect 10-13L/100kms or 22-28mpg. This further improves when empty and being light on the throttle pedal. The amazing power and torque of the 12HT direct injected engine makes overtaking traffic and maintaining a cruising speed of 120+ km/h a breeze. It turns mountains into little hills! Keep your engine well maintained and it should provide you years or trouble free, efficient operation.
