The Toyota Hilux 3.0 D4D is known for its reliable fuel efficiency among diesel pickups. For the 3.0 D-4D (171 hp) 4WD model produced between 2011 and 2015, the average combined fuel consumption is 9.7 l/100km (equivalent to 24.2 mpg US or 29.1 mpg UK)[1]. This figure is based on a broad data range covering real-world usage and a measurement range of 1,471 km.
Driver-reported figures vary according to driving style and conditions:
- Town & country driving typically yields around 9.4 km/l
- Open road/country cruising can rise to approximately 10.4 km/l
- Urban commuting can see averages between 10 km/l and 13.4 km/l according to some owner reports[2][4].
Official data for the 2011-2015 Double Cab 3.0 D4D shows:
- Urban consumption: 9.5 l/100km (24.8 mpg US, 29.7 mpg UK)
- Extra-urban (highway): 6.7 l/100km (35.1 mpg US, 42.2 mpg UK)
- Combined: 7.7 l/100km (30.5 mpg US, 36.7 mpg UK)[6]
Real-world driver data (from tracking apps and forums) typically aligns with these figures, though actual results may vary depending on factors such as driving speed, vehicle load, 4×4 vs 4×2, and maintenance. Some owners report highway ranges of 850-900 km per 70L tank when driving at moderate speeds (100–130 km/h), resulting in about 12–13 km/l. At higher speeds (130–140 km/h), the range drops to 750–800 km per 70L, or around 10.7–11.4 km/l[2].
In summary, most owners can expect a combined real-world fuel consumption of approximately 9–10 l/100km (10–11 km/l, or about 24–26 mpg US)[1][2][4].
