''What sort of mpg would the Hilux do at 70 on a motorway?''
Mine was the 3 litre with torque converter auto so you'd be looking at 30 normal or 32 max, some with manual's especially 2.5's claim to get around 35, and you always get those who think their 2 ton brick does 40+ mpg driven hard.
I upgraded my tyre choice to the correct size (far too boring to go into here) so my speedo and odo was more accurate (2%) than most which seem to have 10% error which they, indeed most people, don't factor in when working out mpg.
It was very high geared, so motorway cruising was one of it's strong points, the 3 litre will happily cruise at a ton all day if you want.
New Invincible from 2010 now has uprated 5 speed auto box as well as many other improvements, including aforementioned tyres, so could well be better economy....if i needed a 4x4 again, i wouldn't hesitate.
