What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Toyota 4Runner MPG
| Toyota 4Runner Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range |
Mid size and large SUVs are not good on fuel economy. While shopping this market fuel economy was a consideration. Fuel economy is projected at 17 mpg in the city and 22-23 mpg on the highway. This is one of the leaders for vehicles in this class. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Higher than average for this size and type of vehicle. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Best mileage for a vehicle that can tow 5,000 pounds. 21mpg in the summer for my typical daily driving. |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Not really bad, but how about a hybrid? A Prius 4runner? |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
If fuel cost is a concern, then this is definitely not the vehicle to have. Manages 18mpg combined if driven carefully. Does what it does extremely well so nothing unexpected. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
The dash readout is optimistic. I often though I was getting over 25mpg only to calculate as low as 14--on the highway! Ultimately, this was the 4Runners undoing. I traded it for a much more efficient Camry. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
Getting an average of 16-17MPG with V8, but I expected that |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Lousy mileage around town. ~ 18. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
less than 20 MPG in the city. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
This is obvious |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
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. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
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. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
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. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
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. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
not great with the price of fuel 20 mpg |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 183-horsepower 3.4L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Poor economy, other competitors achieve better fuel economy and performance. |
