Well I was getting 18mpg then did a tune up and now get 15mpg if I'm lucky?? New spark plugs, PCV valve, air filter, cleaned the MAF, cleaned the throttle body (off the truck and replaced the gaskets), new transmission filter and fluid swap, new diff, transfer, brake, power steering fluid, serpetine belt. No stuck calipers or anything. Running tires at 34 psi. Think I might try replacing the o2 sensors.

My 17.5 mpg in a nearr-stock TRD OR was so ridiculously low, I just swapped it for a 2019 Accord Hybrid that gets 46mpg real world. Then used the savings in gas (from the first month alone) to get some Danner Mountain Light boots and be content with driving to the trailheads and hiking it in anywhere I want to be outdoors (which ends up getting me to damn near all my favorites, being that they're mostly in national parks where vehicles are not permitted).
Miss the ability to misjudge curbs and just bounce over them, and having to swerve to avoid tumbleweed, but in CA, gas was costing me damn near $500/mo...
A hybrid or electric 6th gen/7th gen can't come soon enough for me.

I like my truck a lot but I'm not gonna lie, I'm considering something like this. Maybe make my 3rd gen into a winter/offroad beater and get a Prius or something for every day.

2020 TRD premium . To get good gas mileage you need to use the cruise control... because it always drives in eco mode...it even brakes for you..flat freeway it gets 22-26 mpg.. mountain driving it averages 21 .but you have to put in manual shift automatic 5th gear on way down.. otherwise it downshifts to 4th gear and keeps rpms up..harder on your brakes thought..in the city it gets about 14 mpg..so stay light on the throttle..

You can use a tool on edmunds.com to show the true cost of ownership of a car over 5 years and see if it makes sense for your situation. For example when I tried it, buying and driving a 2019 4R 15K miles/yr for 5 years results in (depending on the model and your location) a total of about $53,800. A Prius compared at about $36,000.
What’s interesting is the cost of fuel for the 4R in CA is $16,400 vs Prius at $6,400.

yeah i used that thing before I bought my 2019 ORP. 4runner ended up being a better deal over 5 years than most of the other cars I was interested in (even a hybrid RAV4, which surprised me). I probably would have been fine with a Prius, especially lately since I'm injured and can't ski anyway. I had a hard time letting go of the ability to go offroading, snow clearance, etc. Paying out the ass for it with the car payments and gas, but whatever. I like the truck.

2500 miles. About 80% highway, The best I’ve been able to do is 17.5, I avg 16.7 here in Pa with all the hills. 35 psi in tires. I’ve tried every way of driving, with cruise control it hates the mountains. The best was heading to south Nj, no hills.

I've got about 1500 miles on my 2019 TRD OR and I've been through several tanks of fuel (93 octane) and I'm averaging 18-19 mpg. A mix of city and highway with a few miles on the interstate on the commute to work. I did average 20 mpg on one tank, but I'm doing the throttle more myself now instead of using the cruise control. Had to hammer down a few times already getting on the interstate, so I'm sure that didn't help, haha. And let me say, in the upper RPM's at full throttle, it really pulls hard for a 4600 lb vehicle with a V6. I was impressed.

Just cleared 1k miles today. 2019 TRDP is averaging 16.4 mpg in mixed driving at 5-6k ft elevation. Added a Pedal Commander two weeks ago and it has improved 0.1mpg. I'm pretty sure this is as good as it gets for me.

I also cleaned the TB in my 2016 Trail and the mpg decreased lol. I went from combined 16mpg to 13mpg at best!

2018 Limited with stock tires, etc. Average MPG is 17-18 in suburban type driving. 15.5 if primarily city driving. HWY average 19-19.5 typically cruising at 75 mph on relatively hilly interstates.

Wow...I may look into getting a CAI. Did you install both together or at separate times?
