57,000 km Update

Furteela Ghonga 2.0 has been chugging miles happily and has completed 57,000 kms in about 15 months. Since work and travel is keeping me busy from writing a full fledged ownership review let me use this thread to post some updates here

DPF has been working without any issue. Adblue consumption has dropped since the early days of ownership.

Distance between successive tankful is about 4000-4500 kms

Toyota should have given 15-20 liter Adblue tank

I have been using IOCL / HPCL branded 20L buckets of Adblue for the past 25-30k kms. Service advisor confirmed that there is no issue in using any locally sourced liquid as well. This costs ~70-80 Rs/liter as against ~110 Rs/liter from Toyota

Sedate driving in the 80-100 kmph speed range gives an astounding mileage of 13-14 kmpl but it sure is difficult to sustain given the engine is such a hoot to drive!

Headlamps and fogs are absolutely useless in even medium foggy conditions. Planning to upgrade at least the fogs soon.

I prefer tyre pressure of 31-32 PSI which I have found is the sweet spot for balancing comfort and FE. While topping up I set it to 32 and let it get to 28 before topping up again.

First pair of front brake pads were replaced at 50,000 kms service although they could have stretched to 60-65k. This is more than double the distance compared to my previous 2016 4x4 AT

Max service cost so far was Rs 24,000 in which brake pads were replaced. Average cost per paid service has been Rs. 16,000 excluding Adblue which costs Rs. 1500 per 10k. Cost includes WA/WB.

I had replaced the stock Bridgestone Dueller HT with Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT right out of the showroom. Two of those were damaged beyond repair at around 34,000 kms mark and were replaced under warranty by Yokohama. This was a very pleasant experience as there was no questions asked.
