Here we discuss Hiluxes in general. Your view of the Hilux. For other general discussions please see "open Discussions" under the "Around the Campfire" heading.
For the past few weeks I've been driving around without my Gomad alu canopy while it is in for some modifications at Gomad - thanks Ciske
I've been getting much better fuel consumption now - about 0.5 - 0.7 km/l better. That's even without having a cover over the bak part - just open. The driving is pretty much the same.. same trips to and from work, etc, so nothing significantly different there.
So are the aerodynamics better (!) or is it just less weight ?
Not so much an aerodynamic issue unless it's a raised canopy or has a RR .... it's more about the extra weight IMO.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive. It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
