2004 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8

I knew going in that it would use a lot, but it still makes me grimace. Still, when we had a foot of new snow and I was driving around stalled and tire-spinning vehicles with absolutely no difficulty (on Michelin all-seasons), you figure that it balances. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Not that I dislike the 4runners fuel economy, actually for a large sport utility it does pretty good, just done buy a suv if your looking to get good gas mileage. see full Toyota 4Runner review

It uses quite a bit of gas, I average 16 l/ 100km, or roughly about 15 mpg, and I do fair bit of highway driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Trip gauge is incorrect. when it says 22mpg you are really getting 20 mpg, but not bad for a big V8 just annoying that the gauge is off by about 2 mpg. see full Toyota 4Runner review
