    Yesterday was my first opportunity to take my 17 4wd Limited on the highway. Very comfortable, very quiet. I'd say it was quieter than my wife's Venza. It really drove nice. For having under 300miles the in dash fuel milage noted a "tank average of just under 21MPG. That was for about 200miles of mainly highway driving. I'm old enough to remember that just about any truck with 4wd meant that fuel economy was something you just didn't even think about and for the most part, paved road driving meant constantly be aware of your steering. This Limited is just right for this old dude. I'll never take her on anything more rough than a gravel road or deal with winter weather. I'm sure that the TRDs would put her to shame in the rough stuff, but hey that's not my thing. I'm actually kinda looking forward to this winter, except this Limited won't aid in the snow shoveling. ;)

    Midnight, I hope my wife doesn't see your post, it will give her ideas. For SE Kansas that might be a little bit of overkill.
