I get under 15L/100km on the highway, around 20L/100km around town. Roof rack, awning, bull bar, 33s, winch, fridge, rear drawers. Back off on the right foot (mine is right hand drive) and it's okay. As you say, you are hauling a big heavy brick around and the 1FZ was never designed as a frugal engine. I run 10w/40 semi in mine, located in Canberra, Australia. 373,000 on the clock. Engine never been opened, running great.
💯 agree , I have 4 1fz at home me my son and my wife 🙃 fzj 79 105x2 and 80 series always using 10w50 penrite full synthetic with P.T.F.E additive, the ute have 450k kms never been open and still going strong ,thanks for the video bro 👍
Great video! I have an 80 series 1FZ, 100 series v8, and a 200 series v8. The 200 series gets the worst gas mileage out of all of them. The 80 series actually does the best out of all 3. They are all great trucks. Thanks for a great video, and sharing your experience!
I have an 80 with the 1FZ-FE. It is a thirsty engine I guess around 18 mpg on a long motorway run, around town it definitely half that. It’s difficult to give real costing due to fluctuating fuel prices in the U.K. I get around 350 miles to a full tank if used on the motorway at motorway speeds (70mph). 5/30 is the correct oil which does need to be changed regularly but fully synthetic. I use Castrol Magnatec which seems to be very good. I find changing the ignition timing from factory to around 9 degrees and tire pressures of 40psi definitely helps performance and economy. Oh, I had to replace both cats. I chose cheaper ones off eBay and coincidentally these made a huge difference to performance, definitely beneficial albeit a bit noisier. So, figures, well roughly timed 0-60mph of just under 10 seconds on flat road. Not bad for the type of vehicle, its abilities and 27 years old with only regular servicing. Oh, it’s my daily driver.
Any 80 series was never made with frugality in perspective . Just keep it efficient and it runs great. i don't know how fast it is, have driven Gwagon, range rover p38 in Nairobi and they are fair not great.
Plus swap your automatic with 5 speed manual and 225/95/16 Dunlop tires. you will see how torquey and power improvements plus more fuel efficiency you will get. My experience with j80 goes back to 28 years with extreme desert driving. Stick to this game plans plus oil change every 5000km then it is forever machine.
The 1FZFE is very dependable as long as it’s in good condition (not been butchered my sleezy mechanics). Strong engine with high torque and proper nice sound. Also pretty economical as gets better mileage than my 100 series v8 cruiser
I read the Toyota engineers designed this petrol engine to last 1 Million Klms to compete with the Nissan patrol so YES this engine is incredibly reliable.
@@MasaiGainz yeah mate that's why I'm here hahah I've just finished a trip of 2000ks and now hitting my head against a wall my 80 has only done 180kms, any ideas where I should start, I have just had a major service done spark plugs etc.
I have 100 series v8 4.7 litre I get 5.5 km per litre put a 2000kg trailer on back drops just under 5 km per litre so that’s about right what you get if you thought you were going to get 10km per litre not gonna happen in any petrol landcruiser we also have a hiace 3 litre diesel and that averages 13 litres per hundred landcruiser 18 to 20 litres per hundred not a massive difference really
