mpg is barely over 20 on a long run, below 30mph and towing you'll see single figures. They are real tanks though.

Have a search on the 4x4 etc forum http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1068

As said, they are like tanks, last of the old fashioned 4x4s other than a Defender. Asking about fuel consumption with big 4x4s used for towing and work is a pointless scary exercise, either you live with it or buy a small car!
