Hi, I'm a newbie to this chat, but I have a 2004 Sport 4x4 and it gets 26-27mpg on the hghwy and 15-16 city. My hubby is thinking we should sell it, but I really love it and I know we'll get slammed on the asking price because it seems everybody is jumping on the smaller "green" suvs that are coming out now. Has anybody sold their 4Runner recently who can let me know what the market will bear? Hubby thinks selling in the Fall will make a difference. Any ideas? Thanks, Lisa

 

Drove from Helena, Mt to Kansas City in my 99.&nbsp\\; Had a U-haul trailer and the back filled,&nbsp\\;got just under 17mpg, had to keep it at 65mph though.

 

I havehad 2 2nd generation 4Runners with a 3.0 V6 and 18 mpg is just about right. On really nice days on strictly highway driving you might get 19 mpg.

 

You actually get 26-27 mpg in a 2004 model? I take it that's a V6 engine in that truck?

 

A few factors that limit it the mileage are: its a truck and its heavy, not much of aerodynamics, I dont know where you are but here in the N/east you have 10% ethanol in all gasoline which has less energy. even the EPA ratings wer'nt high my 91V6 auto factory window sticker show 14 city/ 18 hwy!

Got an 96' 2wd with 31x10.5 tires and get 16mpg and 20mpg 255,000 miles and running great.

 

i also have a 95 3.0 manual though. i get arywhere from 10 to 12 mpg, depending how i drive. i have k&n cold air and flowmaster exhaust. its turning 35's with 194,000 mile i was kinda stoked. so i dunno....

 

I am a bit ticked. I bought a 2011 v6 4Runner because of the capibilities and history and also because it was rated with the best gas mileage in its class. 17 city and 22 highway. I am getting a very pleasing 19 mpg around town. However on the highway driving freeway speeds I have yet to get over 18 mpg. My first trip I barely hit 17, and that is only after dropping a few thousand feet in elevation. 4 mpg less than the rating is horrible in my opinion. I have 5000 miles on it. The sales person at the dealership (Larry Miller Toyota in Murray, Utah) told me that I could expect to get better than the 22 on the highway. I also asked the sales guy at Karl Malone Toyota in Sandy and he gave me the same response. Imagine my shock when it was much worse. Hope this helps.
