I have been thinking of changing my tow car for a pajero 2.8 lwb

but i'm a bit concerned to mpg /mpl round the doors and when towing, we have a 99 avondale landranger 20ft twin axle. any comments would help with this decision colin (newcastle)

and you are right to be concerned , we tow with a 2.7td terrano and get around 23 - 25mpg towing , 25mpg round town and 30 mpg on a decent run.guess a 2.8 pajero will be about the same , but hey , you only live once and you cant take it with you ....

I also have a Daihatsu Fourtrack - 1998 model and find it first rate for towing a Bailey ranger 500/5. Have trouble in keeping to 60mph as the car is brilliant for towing. Last time I checked consumption I was getting approx. 30mpg whilst towing and approx 35mpg solo. It may be a bit basic compared to more modern 4x4s but it serves its purpose, comfortable although a bit noisy and best of all very reliable.
