When I bought my D4 I also bought a &6 Tojo wagon and put in a Marks (LC200) auto at the same time. The toyota was going to be my trip truck as I was concerned about LR reliability. The difference in final purchase costs was about $300 dearer for the Tojo. By the time I changed the D4 tyres, rims, pit on a snorkel and some body armour bash plates etc, the D4 cost considerably more. Other accesories were put on both vehicles so not counted in cost. After driving both, towing a caravan, and some "easy" 4WDing, I "gave" the Toyota to my son. He has noted a considerable fuel use reduction from his old toyota single cab tray 70. But it is still in the 14/100k area, and he lives in the hinterland of Byron and not stop start. When we stay ther I get a "true" 9/100 with my D4. Toyotas are thirsty and a 76 is noisy, rough inside and rough ride and very little comfort. I know I made the better choice. In any case there was no fixed servicing when I bought the Toyota and service is every 10,000k. It works out about the same as my 26000k service by an Indi and me doing my own oil and filter change at the 12k mark.
