Anybody towing a 2800kg.ish van with a Nissan Patrol Y62. How bad is the fuel economy. Low 20ltrs per 100k would be acceptable

Sure there's a forum out there with this info.
I think you'd be looking closer to 30/100. Economical when not towing but
like most petrol engine, use a lot when towing. Less then a comparable vehicle
for example a petrol 200 series Landcruiser.
Sure someone on here will have something to say, helpful or not.

There was a comparison on " which car " or similar early this year between y62 and 200lc, not much difference

Thanks for that I did find the article. Fuel consumption was vertually the same and given diesel is at the moment 40c dearer than petrol it is looking like an option.

This is from another discussion area.
May help, may not, who knows - just thought it may interest you
I have a Series 4 Y62 , we have just returned home from a 14858k trip towing a Complete Campsite Exodus 14 , we used 3146lts of fuel , that's about 21.2lts x 100 if Im correct . We did Lorella Springs , Gibb River Rd . We travel mostly at the speed limit + a little bit if Im to be honest we don't hold trucks , road trains up they never need to overtake us and we very rarely need to overtake them . Our total weight the day we left was 5840Kg . I have a 300kg GVM upgrade for the 62 because its very easy to exceed the max GVM especially the rear axle .

My GQ 4.2 EFI (petrol) Patrol when pulling the 2334 Kg Jayco Westport at 85/95 Km/hr uses 21L/100k.
Overall trip consumption with < 20% without van consistently returns 19.2 L/100k.
I'm happy with that.

Not quite sure how to start this reply; as I do not wish to offend or dispute responders to the OP.
I have just sold both my 2013 GXL 200 Series Landcruiser and my Zone RV, 21ft tandem axle Custom van; loaded weight of 2500 kg.
I switched to BP diesel (and ONLY BP) at 90000km`s and experienced little or no "soot" on the rear, quieter motor and more power.
The odometer was at 250000 ish when I sold the cruiser. Very particular about using BP. I had a heads up from the CEO from the shire of Euroa in Victoria who had completed a survey into vehicle/fuel brand usage. So from there I offer the following after switching to BP.
Yes, is is often a tad more expensive by at the end of the day I feel I am in front.
My consumption from the 90K mark was: on a really good day - 16.5 ltrs/100, not so good around 18ltrs/100, full on head wind 22.
They are van towing figures only.
But I only drive into a full on head wind if its necessary.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Hetho.

The Op actually asked about a Nissan Patrol Y62 , I really fail to see the relevance of some of the other answers

And a petrol power vehicle at that. Maybe Hetho thinks the Y62 is diesel.

No I did comment that petrol is currently 40cent a litre cheaper than diesel and this makes the higher fuel usage more palatable. I'm after a comfortable vehicle to cruise long distances not a truck/ute

The Y62 is very comfortable and eats up the K's effortlessly .
