Thread: Cross8/crewman.

I havent done a test on the rav but it would be over 10l per 100....but then I am struggling to think of anything I have owned with 4 wheels that has used less.
It is better by a huge margin than the cruiser was tho....Nelson to kiaks and back to almost ward and had to fuel or I wouldn't have made blen....100liter tank plus road users and everything that wears out....fast!

I cant afford a new diesel and there is no way I can afford to maintain a high mileage common rail and everything that is mechanical injection is old and fucked too.

There is nothing in the second hand market literally.

I want.
petrol
awd or fwd
double cab comfy.
ute

And I hate to say it but probably auto even tho I bloody hate them only because backing my boat up drive into shed would waste a clutch pretty quickly.

Not a question of grunt but manouvering and going slow enough ie riding the clutch...getting the tandam round the corner is fun even with the rav and that is bloody short!

No question could do it with low box but just going to be hard on things especially full lock tuns on concrete in 4wd.

if you can find one the VY series 2, v6, is the better motor than VZ , the old pushrod buick motor, just watch for leaking tappet cover gaskets no big deal, my vy would get 800 kms a tank locked in cruise control at 110, that's driving from Perth to gold coast , a comfortable ride as well , even after 12 hrs plus behind the wheel .

You have massive tyres or your injection system needs some love
That's about as bad as the old mans petrol one
