Hi Guys,
I'm hoping some other committed Hilux owners might be able to shed some light on a fuel efficiency dilemma I have between the SR5 and SR DUAL CAB 4x4 deisel Hilux's, as Toyota haven't been able to explain anything to me though they've been very helpful at Bill buckle service in brookvale.
I own both Hilux models amongst other deisel trucks and Utes, I'm on my 7 Hilux, so have a small understanding of the fuel inadequacies generally quoted, and some of the contributing factors that impact fuel efficiency, though when I fill both vechiles up which I've done more then several times now, both models offer me a fuel distance and at all times the SR is over 120km-140km more fuel efficient than the Hilux. Toyota updated the soft ware on the SR5 relating to the particulte filter and that was unsuccessful on altering the SR5's fuel efficiency. I recently saw another driver who's SR5 registers the same predictable fuel range as mine. Is there some thing any body knows because toyota don't know about the fuel or weight set up on the SR5, that makes it less fuel efficient that the SR model. Note the SR is 2017 model and the SR5 is 2016.
Both are new 2.8L engines.
