Since Toyota can't make a decent engine and get decent MPGs they will have to go to a Hybrid option. They could be looking at the GS450H drive train (3.5-liter V6 Hybrid) with 31 MPG. Put that in the box of a 4runner and maybe get 25?
A hybrid off road would be pretty cool. Lot's of torque and quiet so you don't scary the hikers. ;)

I didn't buy a T4R for gas mileage, hell my 2008 Toyota Tacoma has the SAME engine... I think N/A is more reliable than a turbo motor, so I'd take a v8/v6 over a turbo 4c/hybrid any day.
