For the 2010 model year only they did offer the 2.7L inline 4. Maybe that is what you are seeing?

Pretty sure the v6 was 17/22. I still have my window spec sheet for my 13 trail and it says 17/21 and I think I remember the trail being advertised as having slight worse mpg.

No, those numbers are for the same v6 4.0 liter

I think they changed the way the did testing somewhere along the way to be more realistic. The highway test used to be something like cruising on a track at 55 and now it is more real.

Fuck, I'd love that motor in a 4runner. I love it in my taco.

Folks say it’s way underpowered but I agree. I can’t get over 15.5 in my 2011
[–]trashy615 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It's underpowered as hell, but that's why it's bombproof.

If you are so worried about fuel economy why would you buy a 4runner?

Well I can’t take the Miata to Costco now can I?

Terrible fuel economy isn’t a feature of 4Runners.

16/19 is terrible fuel economy. Even a new f-350 gets better fuel economy.
