12 hours seem a bit excessive unless you plan to stop a lot along the way or maybe the roads are much worse than I remember.
10 hours including stops(shopping).

You didn't observe that the soldiers jobs are to collect money from trucks carrying goods. They have boys working for them and a drum is nearby where they keep their loot.

No. Compared to the 3.5L V6 SUV.
But it's an economical SUV for city driving.

P.S A Honda pilot with 3.5L v6 and VCM is faster and powerful on the highway and shares same fuel economy with the 2.7L prado within the city.

Wow that makes sense.. probably the newer models you are referring to. The new model of pilot has a nice design with increased hp than older ones.

I see the way all this pilot drivers leading convoys handle them.. i was coming from keffi last week when this black Hilux zoomed passed me i was driving a 2009 Highlander v6 with a friend of mine beside me tried tailed him till we got to maraba axis of Abuja. He wouldn't let me overtake him was surprised at how the Hilux was performing.
