Gidday all, i have just arrived back from my northern journey from Brisbane up to the Darwin, via Kakadu, Lichfield, Daly river, Adelaide river, Uluru then onto Mt Dare on the edge of the Simpson then back into central Qld.
For those of you that are contemplating towing a caravan with the 1KD i have some figures below you may find interesting.
Total kilometers travelled: 16,725
Diesel fuel used: 2580 litres
average consumption: 15.42 litres / per 100 ks (best was 13.2 l/100 worst was 18.6 l/100 into head wind)
All the above whilst towing a tandem axle Jayco Discovery outback caravan (weight around 2.3-2.5 tonnes)
Average speed on highway 85 KPH corrected ( odometer reads 91 KPH with 6% error)
Also like to mention no punctures with the cooper AT3 tires
extras car has fitted bull bar, spotlights, roof rack, lift kit, snorkel, 3" exhaust (no chip)
I am happy with the above numbers especially after talking to other travellers that were somewhat envious of the Prados economy.
Note: new injectors fitted before i left Brisbane which was money well spent i believe.
The odometer reading now sits at 198,657 ks so must be the highest reading 1KD on Pradopoint i think??
Regards
