Thanks for the responses. They vary quite a bit, so driving habits are important. My 2002 Tahoe was rated 17 highway mpg when new. The newer rating system drops that to 16 highway. My wife and I completed a 6300-mile western road trip in May and averaged 17.55 with the vehicle pretty heavily...

Any realistic experience on gas mileage with the 2010/2011 4Runners? I'm mainly interested in highway mileage since I don't do much city driving. Also, I try not to exceed 70mph in steady driving.

Thanks, just the info I needed. Looks like what I want! Any comments on the comparative ride, SR5 vs. Limited?

This is my first post on this forum. I am considering purchasing a 2011 4Runner to replace my 2002 Tahoe. I need a 4WD vehicle with good interior space, ground clearance, and a 2-speed transfer case. My activities require Low Range on the vehicle occasionally. On-road ride is another...
