I pull a Fedex delivery box truck out of the ditch in front of my house with them and there was a couple of pretty hard pulls with a 30K recovery strap; no problems.

Obviously, to each his own, but my off-road version has the black fender flares, and I like them. This is my first Toyota, having driven numerous Jeep Wranglers over the years. The advantage of the black plastic is that if you do any offloading at all and get close to a tree branch or a tree and...

normal mode Air dam on Crossbars removed just to get rid of some noise. Stock Michelin LTX tires. Driving style is generally moderate, conservative if I’m in no hurry. No air conditioning yet. Always use 87 octane, the price of 91 doesn’t justify the small increase in mileage. 30% more expensive...

20.8 overall. 90% non-freeway driving. 87 octane, 4800 miles. Occasional upper 20s for short trips, 5 to 10 miles, on side roads.

Drove approximately 13 Jeeps of various sizes/shapes over the past 50+ years from WWII military surplus to modern models. Most were weekend warriors, modded with winches, tires/wheels, lifts, lockers, etc. Took them mudding, rocks, etc., rolled a couple, put them right side up and drove them...

Last daily driver was a ‘16 Jeep Wrangler Willys edition. Drove a 4 Runner for a week and decided it was more civilized. Traded in the Jeep, bought the only red 4Runner on a lot within 100 miles. Hybrid. First Toyota, no regrets yet.

I agree completely with the above. I’ve had many jeeps, Chevy Tahoe, Chevy four-wheel-drive trucks over the years and this is exactly what I do with them. I will put it in four-wheel-drive high for a mile or two down a straight country road doing 40 or 50 miles an hour. This helps keep the front...

200 mile freeway trip yesterday. 25 degrees, 87 octane, 3500 miles, windy, 75 mph avg. 21.2 mpg. Running around side roads/town is about 22-23.

My wife’s Honda CRV does exactly the same thing five hours after she shuts it off. Never noticed it on the 4Runner, but then again, I park it in a detached garage.

those little handheld’s are great. My wife loves it too for trimming shrubs and small tree limbs.

A bit over 3000 miles, 87 octane, today is the first day this year that It was over 70° and I got 23 miles per gallon, 40 mile trip. No freeway driving, mostly county two lane roads doing about 50-55. Noticeable improvement over the cold weather mileage.

I have used Stihl saws for many years. Recently bought the small 12 inch battery Model. Lightweight, cuts great, good for about 8 to 10 inch limbs or logs. My brother has a Makita brand that also cuts great and he uses the batteries on his other hand tools.

Yesterday was unseasonably warm, record warm as a matter of fact, 70° and I drove about 30 miles. When I got home, it said 23.1, personal best so far.I’m thinking outside air temperature makes a big difference for these short runs, 10 miles or less. Yesterday was all surface roads, no freeway.

Electrical engineer for eight years. I wanted to work for myself so I opened a real estate office. Sold it five years later and got my Appraiser license. Recently retired Right of Way appraiser after 30 years. Part-time gig these days consulting for the courts on eminent domain and...

Bought in Sept. '25, '25 Hybrid. Currently 2,700 miles, mostly driven in cold weather (avg. about 40 F, high 60 low -10 degrees). 18.6 overall since new. Most trips are relatively short, 15 miles or less on back roads or local highway so it seldom really gets hot. If I drive somewhere, 10 or so...

I would suggest lowering the front of the seat. Until I had back surgery six weeks ago, fusion on L4 L5, I’ve had back and leg issues for many years. I tried the seat high in the front and low in the back and found that was cutting off my circulation to my feet some. Might be worth a try. But...

I have been driving more lately and yesterday I drove 40 miles all interstate running 70 to 75and at the end was 22.3. by the way, I always run 87 octane fuel. No way I would run 89 or 91. 89 is about $.50 more per gallon, definitely not cost-effective, does not help mileage much if any. Only...

I only have about 2100 miles on mine; bought it last September and haven't driven much, some health issues. But the latest couple of trips with combo city and rural highways has been around 21 mpg +/-. I see you're also in IN; I bought mine from Hubler in Greenwood. If you've been taking...

As my name implies, I've been around a bit. I've also had about 25+ new cars over the years including company cars. Without exception, the gas mileage has improved over time on every one of them. I'd say anywhere from 10-20% improvement between 5 and 10K miles. Mileage seems to max out around...
