Do Terranos exist that don,t need welding?

I feel my 2.7 is a little low geared for driving at motorway speed, if I was driving a lot more at motorway speed I would look at gearing it up a bit with bigger tyres perhaps would improve economy
As it is most of my driving is A & B roads towing a ifor Williams trailer & most days the truck goes off road so gearing works well for this.

MPG wise i'm often getting around 30 mixed driving & 32-33 on a run & it drops down to around 24 when towing the caravan but normally keep my speed to 60mph max to keep the revs at around 2.5k my last one I drove it hard all of the time doing 80 easily on the motorway & got 27-28 but also had a roofrack fitted

If you want to do lots of motorway miles get an auto,my auto fly's compared to the manual I had before . I think the overdrive gears up the top end quite a bit.

Not sure whether the auto is faster but it's certainly a nice cruiser, still not had the bottle to try the cruise control on mine tho

Kevrob9 has his 2.7 05 plate for sale, 2.7 has gear driven timing so no belt or chain changes, it looks really nice too!!
