  1. She averaged 6.2 on her highway trip up north, in the car solo, luggage for the week, tyres at 36-37psi. Not bad for a brick on wheels being pushed along by a lil 2L turbo. I wasn't susprised, it was about what I expected honestly. I reckon with me driving it off cruise I could get it into the high 5s on a highway trip.
  2. Told you, Hybrid Camry, the eCVT is excellent and the economy is fantastic and still has "some" punch for overtaking, plus you've got dat asian heritage so you'll feel right at home cutting everyone off in it.
  3. And modulation becomes a issue the more stopping power you have when outright grip is not increased accordingly also. Lucky he got dat fancy motorsport ABS!
  4. Tyre adhesion will be the challenge.
  5. That all depends the diesel in question, I should preface by saying "modern" turbo diesels. Diesel costs more per litre than almost all fuels barring E85, at Apco where I get my 98 it's the most expensive fuel (no e85 on offer). Quality aftermarket diesel oils on average are more expensive (for good low ash content stuff) but in my case it's a wash as Petrol and Diesel use the same oil from Toyota (which means petrol stays super cldean from all the detegrents). For a tow vehicle you may also want; Additional water trap/filters and associated alarms/gauges and pray you don't get a bad batch of fuel. Additional EGT sensor/gauges. At some point the turbo will fail $$$ to repair that I don't have to worry. I will never have to think about EGR or DPF issues. My injectors cost a couple bucks and can be slapped in vs Direct Injectors that cost $$$ and need coding. My fuel pump costs a couple backs vs $$$$ and install costs for HPFP. Let's not forget Ad-Blue lol Older Turbo diesels avoid of lot of these common rail/emission issues but are slow AF and noisy as shit, dont have great economy, and are just unpleasant to be in. You know what has none of those issues? A late model V6 Prado that'll do 4-500ks before any major failure (maintenance done properly) and it's comfy, quiet, and has power (relatively speaking). Did you lunch your 1GR somehow? that'll be 5-8ks for a new engine please. Did you lunch your VD? Please bend over... Modern TD can get out.
  6. Oh man, Prado is a terrible tow car economy wise. Try 18-20L for 2T. Old SZ Petrol Terri used to do like 14-15L and only needed 91. I love the petrol for quietness, power (overtaking especially), lower overall maintenance/repair cost, vs a diesel in all respects, but you pay for it with economy when towing. I run 98 (tuned) which also adds up, but the extra power is worth it. Raced a mates new 500Nm diesel prado up an on ramp and was slowly pulling away until 70 and then just gapped by bus lengths from 70 to 140. Waiting to see if new prado gets the TT petrol option I am seeing for Lexus as I dont want anything bigger physical size wise or heavier (wood carting, getting through gaps/gates at my place, slopes, etc).
  7. oof, Wife just came back from trip up north, averaged 6.2L and she just sits on cruise (i.e. you can beat cruise economy if you want to try hard). I'm currently averaging 11-12 in the 2t+ petrol Prado Just drive at 100km/h all the the time bro, don't stop/start, that's the key lol
  8. Yeah I like my cars to look like cars and the Kona looks wack, the newest version looks kinda cool, but not for 70k. The Leaf looks ok, I like the Nismo one, but I won't drive a hatchback where I live (country roads, lots of criters, bullbar territory).
  9. What EV? I see model 3's under 40k now, tempting. I dii about 350ks a week so Hybrid Camry fine, but more torque would be great. I mostly lean towards Hybrid Camry as a run about because I trust Toyota more than I trust Tesla.
  10. Things really do be different in the city hey. Out here the Hybrid is just a rep car or family sedan doing the school run, either being driven at normal speeds or hyper speeds lol Maybe it's because we have f'all uber/ride share stuff here.
  11. My interest in the hybrid is nothing to do with economy, it's because it's substantially faster and the CVT shits on the 6spd auto in the petrol 4cyls for drivability. With the hybrid you can actually overtake safely on single lane country roads uphill at 100km/h. I've not driven a 6cyl one to compare it to, but as far as 4cyls Camry's go, the Hybrid is the one to get.
  12. I am still firmly in camp Camry Hybrid if I buy another daily.... WE have a fleet of them at work, excellent commuter (get the sport version for a few extra niceties that shoul.d be considered essentials...) I am that old...
  13. If you are buying new, just get a spool kit, but better yet ask your engine builder what they like to use. I go with CP because my engine builder told me to. I also went Nitto I beams and CA625 rod bolts because my engine builder told me to. Research shows that's a strong rod/piston combo, but that's a 4 cyl trying to make more power than you air aiming for so the HP/L equation is worse. Have a quick look on marketplace at least, you would be surprised what stuff comes up for dirt cheap.
