Thread: V6 Rodeo fuel economy

@Three O'Three We had a 07 V6 Rodeo TC we brought SH from a local farm , the wife used it to tow her Horse Float, they are just a thirsty motor .I had a mate l rode motor bikes with chip &dyno it to give better performance while towing & it improved economy with normal driving , from memory it made added around 20HP more,+17NM & 15 KW,this meant more torque at lower RPM ,meaning earlier gear change at lower Revs & much better economy with normal driving .If you are going to keep it may be worth looking at getting done ,the factory exhausts are choked off as well,l reckon they are a good knock around ute for the price & while we have these ridiculous pricing on vehicles l would be keeping it .


@Vod Ka'nockers Back when we living in Arnhem Land we picked up a ex Aboriginal land council Pajero DLX (or what ever the top of the line is ),for next to nothing as they stopped driving it after its owner died while out on a camping trip in it. It sat at the camp site for 2 months with doors open & when we got out there with a new battery ,the swag & all the gear they were camping in was all still just sitting there.

Jumped in & put new battery in & it fired right up ,apart from the interior looking 10 yrs older than it was from the weather damage it was one of the best 4WD's l have ever owned drove like a car on the Hwy &b still great 4wd performance.I would have brought it home if l could as they had it all rigged with suspension /bar/winch options .I am a Tojo man from years back (currently run a 2018 hilux TC & Land Cruiser on the Farm),but IMO Pajero's are one of the most underrated 4wd out there.
