Gav836 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 At the minute it's not great at 27mpg but it has only done 250 miles. Give it a couple of months and it'll have a few thousand on it so that should sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always said that you can smell money when you enter Norfolk If only that were true Its the most important asset in my business so just can't afford to run an older vehicle in my mind, hopefully should minimise the risk of a breakdown on the way to a job.

Auto, or manual Gav. We have just had a new helix on the farm, ad blue and auto box. Pulls well mind. Don't like the look of it as much as the model its replaced though, especially the interior.

There's a lot of unhappy Hi-lux auto customers out there at the moment, they like the trucks but hate the diabolical fuel economy compared to the manual models.
