For $100 that seems like a good investment. Also yes! I forgot to add that I keep a tire plug kit in the back as well. I’ve had to use it on my rig as well as my wife’s Civic just last month. Definitely a great item to have. Thanks Eric.

Anyone have any idea how a member here can get on the forum without creating new account ,he got a new phone and a new email but doesn’t remember his password

 

Guess I need a moderator

 

I already tried that. No answer yet

 

@MTgirl
Can you help him out?

 

He’s done that and no response

 

Weeza is everywhere!

 

Idk ,I just told him to

 

a AAA account is a good back up plan if you don't already have one. A good spare tire. Outside of that, no worries. It's a 2nd gen 4runner!

 

Definitely have AAA. And a 3rd gen
5VZ > 3VZ

 

yup, 3rd gen.. just like mine. Goodness, how I miss my mind sometimes.....

 

Hahahaha it’s all good! I’m excited to be making the trek in it once again. I used to do a lot of long distance driving over the years but have slowed down a lot recently. I’m excited to see how I’ll do on mileage, even with the truck loaded down with cargo and four people.

Once we get to where we’re going, I’ll have access to non-ethanol goodness so I cannot wait for that!

 

The trip to Colorado last year was the same thing for me in the sense that I hadn't done a BIG road trip in over 20 years, I wasn't sure if I could even do it anymore. By the 2nd fuel stop, I was back into the rhythm and enjoying every second of the adventure. I averaged around 18 mpg with a high of 23 through Missouri for some reason. Cheapest gas prices on the whole trip as well.

Best wishes, enjoy the adventure!

 

This is in your 3rd gen?! 18 mpg let alone 23?! I’ll be stoked to see 16-17! Lol!
I’ve always loved long road trips in the 4Runner. Might sound weird, but it’s like bonding time with your rig. Especially when you’re alone. Just you and the truck, whatever tunes you’re enjoying, the sunlight, the weather. It’s just an experience to be had.

 

Yup, once I got rolling and set the cruise at 75, I would average around 350-375 miles per tank. Stop and go kills the mileage on these pigs.



I was getting slightly less economy climbing straight up the side of the mountain range, but worth every $$ it cost to go on the trip.

 

Incredible. I am super jealous! The most I’ve ever seen out of my tank, at least from strictly highway driving was about 250-275 max. But the fact that you’re able to net 350-375 is just incredible. Are you on stock suspension & tire sizes? Even before I began to modify my truck, I don’t really recall getting great mileage anyhow. And I’m up to date on pretty much everything that could/would affect my mileage.
