4x4 help!?
Hello, I am thinking of buying a 4x4 crew cab, I just wondered which ones do the most MPG as I do lots of running around!

I have a nissan pathfinder and echo above fuel figures you will only get decent mpg with a small 4x4 and they arent any use as a work vehicle.
However i did have vauxhall bravo single cab (they are available in double cab version) and it was returning about 35 mpg

they do not have a lot of load room if you want to put tools in the back. 27/30 mpg thats if you are not pulling anything and light footed

Have a Navara older D22 model roughly same as figures Paul put up, 4x4 & fuel efficiency doesn't work depends what you are looking to do with it if towing figures will reduce drastically,bought van & mostly used as
a) More load space in back.
b) Better fuel figures.
May well change it this year but looking at getting a Land Rover for towing.

I get about 24 mpg when towing, around 30mpg normal driving (2008 L200 crewcab). What sort of work would you be doing with it? would you be using it as your main vehicle or an extra?

I ran a Hi Lux for 18 months and at best got 25 mpg out of it.. With a dumpy bag of sand and tools it was down to 15-18 mpg....
Not much better when towing a trailer and a bit of a issue when towing the mini digger as was over the weight that you are allowed to tow.
Nice truck though. I sold it for a lot more than i paid after the Top Gear tv thing..

Don't fret john you can always get a plug in tuning box and get a 50% power increase and 30% better economy. :)

I have a classic shape L200 Animal/Double cab. I actullaly got 30 mpg on 300 mile run last year to a festival. but daily use with a trailer on I'm probably getting 20-24mpg. Less than that if the trailer is really heavy. Do you need 4 wheel drive? Where I tip my green waste I would never get in or out most days without using it.
4x4's + Economy = Rare

Defender 110 = 27 - 30mpg. Towing doesn't make much difference, probably down to driving styles!
