    When I bought it it was at 13.4 so I wiped the memory by pulling the battery. Seems the truck is set at 15.3 street and 18 highway. I will take it on a 300 mile journey Saturday and really test the MPG with all the upgrades.

    Is there any easier way to clear the historic MPG on the display?

    I have wanted one for years. They can even show the beginning of problems if numbers change. It is like having your own track in your vehicle.
    I believe we should get a stock T4R & test it.
    Add an intake & test it.
    Exhaust & test it.
    On & on until we find the point of diminishing returns without a supercharger or nitrous.
    We would all have to run test with similar tires in the same temperature range.
    I would help pay & participate. We have a TRD intake & stock sized Duratracs.

    Who doesn't want more HP? I need more so I made a post. I want MPG and HP without compromise. I bought this 4Runner and I will get the results! Just follow me

    I’m very happy with the supercharger from magnuson. Well worth the money.

    What compromises do you speak of? I don't want to completely kill the warranty yet.

    I also feel the power is plentiful. I have a permanent tent on top and carry a lot inside, probably around 500lbs daily. The other day I had three of us in the cab with all our riding gear, tools, and towing three dirt bikes. I punched it getting on the freeway and the 4.0 just took off, plenty of power, got up to 70mph before entering the highway. Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I would have a supercharger, but I would probably spend the $6K on another dirt bike before that.

    There will always be someone interested in the snake oil. If not, they wouldn't keep selling it.

    I just took it on a 5 hour drive on the highway mostly...it needs more power. I'm only speaking of the TRD Pro though. I have maybe added 300lbs with accessories and off-road tools. The T4R struggles under 2-2.5K RPM. Average about 19.5 mpg highway

    I've noticed that but I think it's due to my foot.

    It will the the stupidest or the greatest. You don't know if you don't try. No regrets! I'll let you know if it's a fail

    I guess it really depends on your driving habits, and what you're used to.

    I have 3-400# of tools, recovery gear, etc in mine at all times. I have no problem getting up to 100 MPH when I need to get around a group of slow drivers.

    If you think it NEEDS more power, you probably bought the wrong truck.

    Man talk about a power increase. I've been deadheading a 6x10 enclosed cargo trailer from MT. to So. CA. and returning with 3~4,000# of accumulated "treasures" for the past year. When I unhook after the 1,200 mi. trip, it's an instant power boost.
    Been building some ripped right leg stomp on the go pedal muscles.

    Found out I needed an alignment. Added almost 2 MPG with the front end needing about .45 degree of adjustment overall. Cost me $144 for a 3 year unlimited deal at Goodyear.

    Using the DISP button on the steering wheel, toggle to the MPG display. Hold the DISP button down for about 5 or 10 seconds and it will reset the calculated MPG.

    Too many mods and too much money
    With a Magnaflow muffler its not bad imo. Low frequency growl increased w a little bit of drone, and high rpms sound great. But, this is also a subjective opinion that varies quite a bit from one person to the next.
    I now have mud tires, so they drown out everything.
