Just brought a shogun sport warrior 2.5TD and wondered what the diesel consumption is like when towing (not had chance to take the caravan out yet) I cant find anything in the handbook so thought I would ask the experts.

See you all at the national meet.

Many thanks

Don't know about the 2.5 but have just got rid of a hired 3.2lt  which needed permission from my mortgage broker to fill up and drank diesel as though going out of fashion!!

I did find though that it made little difference towing and as long as I drove with a soft... no very soft right foot I was getting about 220 miles solo on £40 worth

Overall impression...I was beginning to agree with Red Ken!!!!

Erm...would it not have been more prudent to get the info before you bought it?

That is very true David,we have a shogun 3000 V6 and petrol and diesel consuption are about the same.

     OH NO

We've got the Shogun Sport 2.5 turbodiesel and reckon we get about 32/34 out of it, we are really pleased it is a couple of years old, before that we had Audi A4 that drank juice.  While we were waiting for the Shogun they dealer lent us a Suzuki Grand Vitara that should have its own pump, we seemed to constantly top it up, but that was petrol.  We tow a tandem axle and it is like a dream for towing, we had looked at lots of different types but are pleased now.
