Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

I see around 17 in general driving. On the highway if I catch a tailwind it can get up to 20. This in a TRD Pro. Not bad for what the truck is designed for. I was a bit surprised to read that the new Bronco is not much better and even a little worse depending on configuration.
 
With the extra weight I am carrying I am seeing about 17.5 and I can push to 18 if I drive slow and sensible (which rarely happens....). I need to get my current weight but steel bumpers, skids, winch, armor, 285s, etc. I saw my mileage drop from 19.5 down to 17.5 but .5 of that was from the rotation of the bigger tires. With 285s my speedo actually reads correctly now :)
 
glad to know I am not the only one

I have a 2018 XP with the TRD wheels and the Goodyear wrangler tires. after about 58K I average about 17-18. Which I am disappointed in, but I got it to replace my '04 sequoia with 300K which got about 14. So I guess I should just be glad and just pay for the Toyota reliability.
 
I got almost 22 this past weekend. 4 hours out and back on a flat highway going between 65 and a max of around 78. Average 73 I’d guess, couple stops.
2011 140,000 miles, 2 adults 2 kids moderate Xmas load.
Got 22.7 on the same trip recently driving granny easy.
 
18.5 MPG on my Nightshade. No matter what my driving seems to be that week.

I have no idea how people are reporting 25 MPG in these.

I got 19-19.5 consistently on my 2016 Trail on stock wheels and tires and suspension. After an Eibach Pro-Truck lift with UCA's and Toyo AT3 285/70/17's I get 17.5-18.5 MPG now. Combined highway/ city driving.

5th Gen MPG - 2017 SR5, 55,000 on truck.

Recent highway trip over 700 miles with some hills and steep grades. Air temp 70-85 F. Sunny with hot road surface. Tires Pirelli AT Scorpion plus stock size. Cold temp 32psi. Driving 35-38 psi.
Measured by scanguage2 from OBD2 and factory TPMS.
Speed 65-75 with downshifting to 4S on longer grades.
Average MPG was 22.
I am pleased with this first road trip with new Pirelli. I had similar MPG with stock all season tires.
 
If I get a 4Runner should I expect the MPG to be a little better than the EPA estimate?

I wouldn't. Maybe an extra 1-2mpg if you baby it and keep it bone stock but unless you do a lot of highway at the speed limit or below it's probably gonna be 17-21.

In the city, we are getting 20 now hand calculated stock with stock tires but with AFE intake which added a consistent 1.5mpg for us.

On the freeway at 80-85, no the estimates are out the window. Ha It gets maybe 22
