    DC21DE4C-E324-4D08-A7B0-120C5FF96AD1.jpg Picked up my new 2023 Limited one month ago today. I named her The Blueberry! Previous daily driver for 14 years was a 2009 Yukon, aka The Beast. I put 160,000 miles on The Beast and it had started to creak, leak, and squeak. I knew I wanted another truck and didn’t want to keep putting money into the old GMC. It’s been an adjustment to the smaller truck but I’m loving it more and more everyday. I chose the 4Runner for long term reliability, old school looks, and better gas mileage than my aging Yukon which got about 13/15 with its thirsty V8. Yes, I miss that V8 power but I’m going to be more confident on the road for work in my new 2023.

    Welcome. Depending on how you drive the mileage won’t be any better. I have a heavy foot and short commute and lucky to see 15-16 mpg on my way into work. I still love my limited no matter what mpg I get.

    Welcome, and congratulations! I own a blue 2019 TRDOR, and your Limited is exactly what I'd like to surprise my wife with one day.

    FYI, I average 21.5MPG year-round with a light foot.

    Enjoy!
