Great vehicles these, I had one when I worked in Colorado on a contract for Newmont. Went all sorts of places in it and really missed it went back home in Oz, even though it had the exact same engine as my work Prado.
12L/100km is very good for one of these even for open road, a lot of guys don’t manage that. Don’t forget that you won’t see that kind of consumption on the trail or if you’re working the V6 harder than usual. Or on the highway with all the fruit on the roof. On the longer trails I did in the US, the consumption was more like 20/100km and you need to factor this into fuel planning.
Like the interior fit out! You’ll have lots of fun in this vehicle in the south island and I would love to see more pics from your travels.
