@Heri, thanks for bringing this up, what a coincidence I am exactly in the same predicament!
The Prado range is complex with funny models like VX-L,TX,TZ, Kakadu,etc
For ease of comparison, lets compare the GRJ150 (4L) and TRJ150 (2.7L) models, both of same year. Avrg figures would be as follows:
2.7L
About 10.5km/h Town driving
about 11.76km/l Highway driving
4L
6-7Km/l careful city driving with light foot
7-8Km/l highway driving
Of course fuel consumption is influenced by many factors.
@Obi, if I recall you had the old J80 Prado, which it wouldnt do justice to compare with its younger GRJ and TRJ models.

I was told the 4Litre one can do better than the 2.7L on highway. Could just be someone's opinion. I do not know And i also heard that for the 2.7L you can feel like its underpowered

I do not know And i also heard that for the 2.7L you can feel like its underpowered @Intelligentsia, it was a J95, diesel which I was describing above as needing many visits to the mech, but its consumption was still better than the 2.7Lt that I replaced it with. @Heri, the 4Lt is equally thirsty on the highway compared to the 2.7Lt. It doesn't help that its added power means more consumption. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

Were you dealing with engine issues here? @Intelligentsia, it was a J95, diesel which I was describing above as needing many visits to the mech, but its consumption was still better than the 2.7Lt that I replaced it with. [/quote]

I decided to get the GDJ 150 diesel, fast kama risasi - very smooth ride  ! Handling the issue of diesel sludge by fueling in a trusted petro statn whose owner I know well.

I thought the 2.8L Diesel GDJ150 has problems with the DPF especially if you are mostly in town/ short trips and only good if you use it for long distance trips. Is it better than the 3L diesel version?
