4-Cylinder PreRunner gas mileage

My 2014 I4 PreRunner is getting around 14-16 MPG on average. I have 32” tires. Bilstein 5100 adjustables set to 2.5” of lift in the front. I have an off-road PreRunner style bumper up front. Everything else is stock. Is my MPG alright? Could anything else be messed up? Sometimes to me it sounds like my truck is “inhaling” a good amount of air while accelerating. I’m pretty new to learning about trucks and vehicles in general.

 

The V4 engine is messed up, it should be a inline 4 (I4).. But mileage sounds about right with a lift and little taller tires you will lose a few MPG,

 

4 cylinder engine? That would be an inline-4, not a V4.

Your truck's configuration is capable of good MPG in stock form, but anything you add onto it (including any dead weight) is really going to hurt the efficiency. I'm surprised Toyota put the 4cyl in a double cab but apparently it was done.

 

seems about right. even on the v6 once you add e rated tires and a lift I was seeing 14mpg with no bumpers, I did have a shell and sliders but MPG was around 14mpg.

 

Sounds about right for your setup.

 

It’s a truck, no one should expect good mpg in a truck even with a 4 cylinder. However in your case the taller and heavier tires are more than likely what’s making your mpg suck. Could be other things in addition such as it needs a tuneup or your driving habits etc. etc.

 

That seems pretty good for those big tires, 15.5-17.5 is all I get stock.

 

I wish I got 14-16mpg. I get about 10

 

These trucks aren't known for fuel economy even in stock form. Whether it be a 4cylinder or a V6. If you add weight, lifts etc the mileage will suffer.

Your mileage seems about right.

 

V-4,you have a Unicorn Tacoma most likely worth $80,000.

 

Never seen a double cab 4 cylinder...pics of engine bay?

 

You heavy? Or on big tires?

 

That gas mileage sounds about right. I get around 13-14 with my 295/70/17s and 5.29s

 

2012+ i believe brought this config. I think you could even get a 4x4 double cab with the I4.


OP.... you have a huge front sail known as that bumper thats KILLING your mpg

 

Both

 

A reg cab 2wd 4cyl manual with the factory low suspension can probably get 24mpg. That's excellent for a truck.

 

gas mileage lol

 

That big plate on the front may not be helping aerodynamics + everything else mentioned.

 

If you configure the truck in that way and drive easy on flat roads. Yep!! They probably can.

 

Not sure what kinda gas NJ is using lately, but I've managed a whopping 94 miles on half a tank. This is the second time in a row using 2 different gas brands.
