A 903 or C202 will get away with 13,5 litres/100 km but a TGB11 or C303 certainly won't, more like 30-40 L/100km

I have clocked my 903 to 113km/h by GPS, however that was homeward bound, downhill and with the sun in my back. A not altogether pleasant experience.
A more suiting pace is 80-90 kmh.

Durability is good to say the least, when I think of the things we did with the trucks when I was in the army, I'm frankly astonished that we didn't wreck more of them.
Mostly it was TGB22, the longest 6X6 version.
Our driver competed in group N rally racing and frequently put this big truck through corners in a six wheel fishtail going well over both civilian and military speed regulations.
As long as you sat in the back sleeping, you hardly noticed but I was a gunner, standing in the "hatch" holding on to my machine gun for dear life.
That was an adrenaline rush!
