I wish Toyota had installed an 8 speed a few years ago and maybe direct injection both would have helped the MPG. The poor MPG is often the first thing all the car reviews mention. I wanted to get this 2023 model before the redesign.
@@FrankAparoe can always wish but we still need to enjoy the vehicle for what it is it's a very good vehicle I also wish that Joe Biden wouldn't have been in the White House
This is right in line with my findings as well. On a smooth flat road doing 65 or below I can actually hit 23.4 without too much trouble. Stock tires and suspension are a must and nothing on the roof. I was pleasantly surprised.
Just picked up a new to me 2018 Limited and averaged 21.0 for the 180 mi home from the dealer...all highway, but crappy busy traffic. If this is even close, I'm very happy with that. You got great results there!
I just bought a 2019 sr5 4x4 came with cheap tire and a roof rack and I’m getting 18ish at 75-80mph. I might have to take off the rack and when the new KO3s come out I’ll swap the tires out because I was a little disappointed with the mpgs.
I have a 2023 SR5 Premium 4WD and I average around 20 MPG going back and forth to work. I have only 2000 miles on my 4 runner. The key I think is keeping the green eco light illuminated if possible. I have hit over 21 MPG also.
I got a 2017 2wd limited today and it actually got to 25mpg on the highway. It avaraged at 22.8. I was in disbelief. Much better than expected. Love the 4runners ❤❤
My 2006 2wd 4Runner averages just above 25mpg. I've wanted a new one for the longest time but idk it's hard to justify the purchase when Toyota actually got worse mpg in the current gen.
Here’s what I want to know from someone. I have a 2016 tundra platinum. On one tank of gas I can drive 425 miles before I have to fill up again. I live in Texas and my daughter and her family just moved to Georgia. How many miles can the new 2023 Sequoia or 4Runner get. We are considering buying a sequoia or 4Runner 2023 but I want to know how good is it on long distance travel. We used to go from Houston to Austin on one tank of gas and when we got home I still had gas in my truck. I didn’t need to refuel right away. So happy with my tundra.
Interesting test. Thanks for sharing. When compared to a newer Honda Passport, the Passport's mpg is rated approximately 5-7 miles per gallon better than the 4Runner. Curious, is this because of a difference in vehicle weight? A difference in body on frame vs unibody? They both have NA V6's.
The passport is lighter, has a slightly smaller displacement engine, nine gears instead of five, and I would imagine it’s aerodynamics are slightly better than the brick-like 4Runner. All of those factors add up to the EPA MPG difference, although I have not tested a passport to see how it does in my test.
I have the 2023 SR5 Premium 4WD and the gas mileage is shameful. I get 20 MPG at best - and that's only when I use cruise control which keeps the engine in eco mode.
If you drove a Toyota 4Runner, please let me know what MPG you are seeing!

I got the 24 2wd average 21.9 mpg
@@FrankAparo Anyone buying a 4Runner isn't buying it for the "stellar" gas mileage.

I rented 4Runners from Avis a couple times for road trips and I got 18-20 mpg mostly highway driving 70-80 mph.
Do you recommend it for road-trips?
Hi, you recommend for road trips? comfortable?
Impressive considering the shape, displacement, and number of gears.

Is that mostly city or highway? I want to get one but I’d be driving mostly city so I’m guessing 16mpg?

@@bryce3956get the 2wd version if you wan’t good fuel economy
@@anitalishneva4318that’s good to know. The 4Runner is my dream car
I hope to get soon and retire my Avalon
Lol
Just bought a ‘23 SR5 2wd and I get about 21 mpg if I stick to 70 on my drive from Dallas to South TX that I do weekly.
My 2006 2wd 4Runner averages just above 25mpg. I've wanted a new one for the longest time but idk it's hard to justify the purchase when Toyota actually got worse mpg in the current gen.
im trying a ceramic coating product for the engine. my 2010 4wd gets 17 mpg mixed (city/highway)
I love Tieyotas

Based on your needs I think the Sequoia is a better choice, it appears to have longer theoretical range than a 4Runner

@@CarDietrich Thankyou, makes sense.
Passport is slightly smaller? Or is it I honestly don't know. Thx
Also unibody not a truck frame so lighter.
I got 23.8 mpg on the 900 miles home from the dealership.
Cant ask for more than that.
TRD ORP owner. Can get 22+ on highway at 65mph

Thats like buying a sports car complaining about high insurance 🙄 Its a truck remember
Are the headlights good for night driving?
Yes, the 2023 4Runner SR5 has standard LED headlights and they are very good for night driving
@@CarDietrich thank you
What kind of person pronounces Toyota like "Tayada???" 💀
A southern white guy lmao
@@ZitroEduardodefinitely not, he sounds like he may be midwestern. Most southern guys will just shorten it to “Yoda”
You know how I pronounce "don't know, don't care?"
Way to go hog dog i like how its short and sweet.
2wd? prob less than 5% of the 4runners are 2wd
Rare bird.
Yeah. What about the offroad 4wd?
I haven't had the chance to test one of those yet. I'm sure it would lose a couple miles per gallon
Why did you pronounce Toyota funny... I went thumbs at that point and shut you off.
4Runner mpgs are lame, but it’s a brick
Man my does 14 mpg
Damn that's worse than my Ram 1500.
Best I ever got was 23.5mpg around 65mph highway. Combined, 8 get around 19.5mpg. I try to drive gently, you can’t win any races in the thing anyway.
