Toyota 4Runner Owner Prefers V8 Over V6 for Towing

The Toyota 4Runner is highly regarded by the overland community, as evident from social media posts. But is it really a great vehicle? We spoke to an owner who purchased a used 4Runner five years ago and has driven over 70,000 miles since then, and they have some insights to share about this Japanese SUV.

In the attached video, YouTuber Oxfoot reveals that they have owned the vehicle since it had around 60,000 miles on the odometer. As you can see, it has undergone some modifications.

Over the years, they have added a 3-inch suspension lift, rock sliders, and 34-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler all-terrain tires. Out of all the modifications, the tires have had the biggest impact on gas mileage, reducing it to about 15-16 miles per gallon. The official EPA-rated fuel economy for the vehicle ranges from 16 to 19 miles per gallon.
