G'day 4 dogs
according to the book..2,500kg and 200kg. ball weight if less than 5 passengers....2450kg and 150 kg if more than 5 pax.
I've read on other forumks that if Hyundai's trek and tow pack is fitted the capacities are increased.....prob. need to check with Hyundai if interested.

Yesterday we came from Maryborough to Noosa travelling at around 95/100 klm per hr and according to the computor on board we are using 18ltr per 100klm
motor is only using 1500/1600 rev
very happy

We average about 20 ltr per 100km, but it sure does sound good pullin up a long hill.

I normally see about 17l/100km.

Coming back from Busselton (south of Perth) to Perth yesterday into a howling head wind it was 23l/100km.

To make it more interesting, torrential rain fell almost the whole trip and I lost count of the amount of drivers in cars who zoomed past, then dropped in front of me then slowed down.



Cheers.

I dont travel with the intent of saving fuel, but I dont like to waste it either, some of the figures quoted are hard to believe. On our last trip from home to Broken Hill and then to Adelaide and then return home via the SA Vic and NSW coast we averaged 20lph in our 2005 Petrol Prado towing 18 ft Windsor Dynasty van which has a loaded weight of about 2 tonnes. We are happy with that.

Hi All Just returned from a 5000kl trip averaged 20l to the100k weighed in at 2400k and that was a d40 auto averaging 90to 95 kls No head winds but a few big hills Yours loub

Trip to Eyre Peninsular SA atm of van 3000 kg towing with 200lc ttd. Boat (150kg with roof loader approx) on top, did 8690ks using 1645ltrs fuel mostly towing equals 18.93ks per ltr. Will sit on 100ks when comfortable with it.

I think you may mean 18.93 litres/100km. (5.28km per litre).


Cheers.

Yep you're right of course. You know I reread my posts to try and not stuff up but sometimes it just slips by.
I went back through our records and worked out our previous tugs economy. It was a 100 series lc non turbo diesel. We did 5580ks and used1268lts fuel, same boat on top. Tried to sit somewhere near 100ks per hour towing a 17 1/2 ft pop top windsor 1987 model so no weight plate but would have to be at least 2000kg. That works out at22.7lts per 100ks. Works out quite a lot worse than my present rig.

We just returned from a trip To Dunsborough from Perth
and returned a reading of 22lts per 100kms but unfortunately we had our gas system serviced just prior to leaving and it decided not to work so back to the gas shop and will be travelling to Laverton in the goldfields in 3 weeks so will post another after that.( Hopefully should be a vast improvement)
