    Late last year I bought a 2010 4.8 Patrol, I was going to do a diesel conversion, but after having it for a while, I am not so sure I want to anymore.
    yes it does use more fuel, but not that much more, and it has more power than any diesel ever fitted to a patrol.
    Its quieter and smoother, and probably cheaper to maintain.

    I spoke with a chap in Bright during my break who has a 4.8 Patrol, and turboéd. Goes like shit off a chrome shovel and the fuel consumption is better he says. The 4.8's are a good motor.

    I have a trip planed for April, probably a few thousand kilometres towing a 1600kg camper trailer, I will report back when I return, with the fuel usage.

    First two tanks just test run through our Daughters future little Ford Stubby (GQ 2.0T Shorty) with OEM power plant upgraded to a dropped in TB45 Carby variant:

    #1 Dad driving alone for safety handling/checking purposes like a P Plater drifting possessed for 450km in its first new mountain home week = 18.9L / 100km.

    #2 Dad grandpa style driving for future 18YO fuel lowest possible consumption usage versus minimum award wages reality = 17.7 L / 100km.

    This little 2.0T thing is at least 30% thirstier than any TD42/T’s I’ve ever owned and 20% more than my 3.0T+ 6.5L Chev Diesel ute

    Heaps of fun though, she can have the 6.5L Shed Queen ute and I’ll drop a complimenting Barra donk in the Ford Maverick with white Shelby Stripes once I’ve blown the Nissan petrol donk up

    Honest question please Folks
    When I was a 17YO, Victoria brought in a new Power<> Weight ratio list which excluded me from buying an extremely sluggish 225 Hemi Charger under new legislation released 🥲

    How does it all work now for youngens ??

    Seems there are some long buried issues coming out Mr Mark. This should raise the website profile on some search engines!!!
