    Never checked mine guessing 12-15 town and 15-16 highway. But it gets thirsty when I get in it.

    Power to weight. A lot of weight needs a lot of power. Haha. My 2.4 ran about as good as the merc but it was stock. I think I'm around 6k.

    stop encouraging him lol, he's going to destroy his truck although that could be fun to watch

    It would cost you way more to go properly boosted (especially turbo'ed) than it would to 4x4 swap your Prerunner. Plus the thought of you with a turbo kind of terrifies me

    It has a boxed frame. Lol. But I'd be scared of the auto and a turbo. Slap a transfer case in it. Low and high range 2wd will give you power for days until about 35-40 mph. Lol

    just sayin, it'd be cheaper than boost

    or just spend $60 on one of these

    Pretty sure I still have the list of everything needed around here somewhere...
    I'm sure the computer would be so happy with that turbo that it'll throw a rainbow of engine lights hahaha
    I'd definately use it if I had it, instead of smashing my rig 24/7 haha

    4wd plus boost :D

    although honestly, I've yet to see where it's ever done anything to help me in the kind of off-roading I do lol. Prerunning with the right suspension I'm sure it would be a blast though.
