Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

There's that one guy that put FJ stick into a 4Runner. And it apparently is the greatest vehicle on God's green earth

 

My 2021 manual gets 18.9 at best (driving under 55 on flat ground) I avg 17.8mpg (my normal driving)


In my 2017 sport Automatic I got 23 mpg avg and I would touch 100 mph some mornings on I-94 if I was running late for work!

Best I got in the 2017 was 27mpg from The Bonneville Salt Flats to middle of Nevada.

Again these were both TRD Sports. The 2017 had the other style sport rims and were lighter.

 

My average on my armored and upgrade MT sport is 16-19 depending on where I'm at. 21+ coming back from TN. Before it was upgraded at all I would clear 27 on the highway.

My AT OR easily hits 21-23 regularly. Haven't done any long (hour +) highway drives with it yet to see what it'll do there. End of June though I'll be taking it to Bull Shoals....

 

I mean, it is a 4Runner.

 

Trip this weekend averaged 16.3MPG ( hand calculated and corrected for tire size) with mixed 65mph and 55 mph roads. Armored, roof rack with storage box and awning mounted, RTT, bed full for camping and bike rack on hitch with 2 bikes. Didn't think that was too bad.

 

I'd say that's pretty good with all of those sails on there

 

I was getting almost 21 mpg out of my stock sport with the worn stock tires. Switching to wildpeaks on steelies dropped me to 19.
Now with the lift, sliders, skid and, bumper I’m in the 17+ Range.
I’ll live with my bad decisions

 

Summer-ish today. Over 80 with drinkable air. I was not made for Midwest summers... but at least it is warming up some here in the wilds of the north.

 

Is it not hot enough for you?

 

No... opposite. Actually the temp is fine but the humidity is unpleasant for my western desert constitution.

 

Lol! What; you don't like sitting in balls soup all day?

 

That's funny.

 

The humidity can certainly be uncomfortable. I try my hardest not to complain so that I can justify whining about the cold all winter.

 

I'd rather be cold than hot.

 

I used to not mind the heat at all. But, it's definitely not as easy to handle as it used to be. I still hate the cold more.

 

I find it easier to deal with as I get older

 

The heat, or the cold? I find I'm a bigger whiner in both than I used to be.

 

Both

 

Cuz you’ve lost feeling in all your extremities to heat and cold? Lol

 

Same. I can always put on a layer, you can only take off so many
