Rare 3.4TD

[Scorpion]

I bet it is, I've certainly never heard of one!

Here.

Funny, it looks like it says V6 on the tailgate.

It's a petrol not diesel. The U.S. is full of them.

Not as economical as a Lexus V8 though.

I know that, and you know that, Vince. Evidently the seller doesn't.

Its certainly rare, its a lovely engine, even if it isn't turbo'ed or diesel..

Personally shame about the colour, looks lifted as well.

Nice truck.

It's a bit tatty considering it's up for sale.

Have you noticed the screwdriver 'digging' marks around the interior light too?

I like it, it would look better in black. Not a bad looking motor at a reasonable price.

The log book says diesel, he is going to change the add, honest mistake from a trader

I hadn't, lol. Looks like they used a hammer drill to get the bulb cover off!

2.7 and 3.4 petrols are very unusual in the UK (note how I didn't use the 'r' word? ) and I've noticed people like insurance co's tend to think they MUST be 3.0TDs. I had that with Flux...

"Is it a 3.0 diesel?"

No, its a 2.7 petrol...

"2.4 diesel?"

No, 2.7 petrol...

"........... petrol??"

Yessss....

"2.4?"

.....(!&^$&))%$%$"!!!

We got there eventually!

I managed to get through a whole tank of fuel at the weekends little outing it turns out the V8 is not so good on fuel when offroading! not sure on the milage we covered but i would of thought the whole trip well under 150miles

Just keep thinking of that great exhaust note and keep throwing petrol in the tank mate .

Ohh, thats enough to make anybody wince. How many normal road miles do you get out of a tank ?

Understandable really as you're only using a couple of gears and not cruising in T/C lock-up.

Add to that the weight of the truck and the big tyres pushing mud and water out of the way.........

[Apache]

Assuming you have a 60 litre tank Ross, thats over 11mpg.

I used to be able to get single figures with the GT-Four if I pushed it hard

Think of it in 'hours per gallon' rather than miles and it doesn't seem so bad

[hiroler]

Its fine on normal driving just off road it does tend to guzzle the juce but i was giving it a good thrashing at least one mile was covered just spinning the wheels in the mud!!

i think it was a good 10 - 11 hour trip so not to bad considering the engine was runing for most of that!
