First Long Trip (6000 km)...

[Batang.Gapo]

Few words to say after 6,000 km trip, I'm totally impressed with this vehicle.

MPG was 27.99 during the trip.

******** From Toyota Canada Web Site **************************
(Fuel Consumption Rating* City / Highway / Combined L / 100km / mpg)
12.6 (22) / 9.2 (31) / 11.1 (25)

Few complains and hopefully Toyota will add this in future model upgrade:

1) lights on third row seat
2) A/C vent on third row
3) More cushion on third row seat

was that 27.99 Miles Per Gallon (MPG) or 27.99 Kilometers Per Gallon (KPG)?

That is some amazing highway mileage! I get 12.4L/100KM on highway, going about 130KM/hr. It's not totally flat though, good amount of rolling hills.

I think your suggestions for the third row, while valid, likely aren't going to be coming around any time soon since my guess is that third row is meant for occasional use. Plus adding vents back there seems like it would be pretty complicated unless they put a center console in the 2nd row and made it into two captain seats rather than a bench. But at that point, you've got yourself a Sequoia

I'm sure that's with Imperial Gallons. In US gallons, that's 23.3mpg.

11.9 L/100km with speed between 110-120 km/hr.

Sorry to confuse everyone.

It's actually 11.9 L/100km (23.73 Imperial MPG / 19.76 US MPG)

They could put vent on the ceiling just like mini vans.

My son said the third row seat on Sequoia is more comfortable (my sister has one).

Not really a big thing for my family as my two boys normally sits on second row. But our most recent long trip we had guests, one of my boys need to sit at the back as he is the smallest

I usually average around 11.9/12.0 when doing flat highway driving, usually between 120-130. I'm very impressed considering the size of the damn thing!

I get 19.5 around town: 2011 trail. Maybe your tires were underinflated

Like I mentioned, if you added the features that you described you'd basically have yourself the Sequoia... so why would they do that and put their own car out of the market
