The furious 4Runner is a sub-10 MACHINE! Sub-10 mpg, that is. At least gas is cheap right now. Just filled her up from almost empty for $30.

I get sub 10 towing, but my all time high (low) was offroading in canyonlands recently with like 8 I think.

The lowest I’ve gotten in the Sequoia was just under 11, driving 2 hours home in traffic.

How did you manage sub-10 mpg in a 4runner? I get 15-16 in my land cruiser even when speeding.

What do you get if you drive normally?

In the Sequoia, it’s around 14-15 city and 17-19 highway. The Ram is 15-16 city and 19-22 highway

Yeah, I'm not towing anything or off-roading. This is solely city driving, to and from school.

Traffic on the afternoons in Memphis can be a pain in the ass but not a two hours pain in the ass. This is just driving to and from my school (about 5 or so miles away from home one way)

How? I average high 11’s in mine with a lift and bigger tires. It’s also thrashed daily, and needs a crap ton of work.

1. It’s a ‘95 with the 3VZ and the A341H; 2. It's entirely city driving; and 3. I ask myself that question as well

I dunno. I'm only driving it in the city, but that's still really low. The only thrashing during that wholes tank was a single, short brakestand in the school parking lot with some friends for lulz. And nothing big either. Like, 10 seconds tops. I really don't know.

I had a '98 with the 5vz (3.4L) and got mid-teens while living in Chicago. You may be in desperate need of a top down tune-up.

We had to put in a new one two years ago and I just found out that buying a gently used 1UZ would have been half of what we paid for the refurb 3VZ. Although we’d have to get an adapter plate and probably a little bit of fab for engine mounts, I think it’d be worth it. I don’t know if gas mileage would be any different, but hey, V8 4Runner. If only, if only.

HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO A BRAKESTAND!?! Also, I do a bit of city driving as well.

I looked into get a 1uz in my 80 series but because I would need a carb certificate I would have to have a certified shop do it, I asked slee what he charges and it was 20 grand. NOPE!

I honestly have no idea. I kept my foot on the brake on gently applied gas, and behold, one-tire fire. I only tried because one of my friends who has an ‘06 F150 with a 5.4 did a really nice one, and another one of my friends with a Z3 2.5 tried and failed miserably and was taunted, but I felt the need to back up my taunts. So yeah. On 33s, I did a brakestand.

Ugh, that's terrible. Any pre-swapped ones outside of Utah for sale though?

WiscoProud > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 13:48

New or rebuilt? Also do you have bigger tires or different diff gears that may be throwing off the calc?

HammerheadFistpunch > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 13:49

no, they’ve only done a handful of them. Engine swap vehicles are a tough thing here.

Rebuilt, and I'm running Pro Comp 33s and stock drivetrain as far as I know.

Mmm mmm! So good. It’s okay. My 2wd ‘80 can’t even break 22 anymore. Typically 21.5 mpgs all the time no matter what or where.

Blue with a blue Magpul case. I’m planning on upgrading in March. Not enough space for my music and iOS 9 can be kinda slow on it sometimes. But yeah I had an Android (an old Nexus S, I think) before but it kinda sucked. I only had that because it was my Mom’s old phone so I got it for free.

Have you recalibrated your speedo for the bigger tires? Those 33s will certainly cut into your mileage, but I wouldn't expect it to drop below 10. After adjusting, I would imagine around 12-13.

deprecated account > HammerheadFistpunch 12/18/2015 at 15:09

Well, better than the VZ

deprecated account > WiscoProud 12/18/2015 at 15:13

My bad, they're actually 31s. Either way, I don't know about recalibration. PO had same sized tires.

WiscoProud > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 15:15

Check out the diameter compared to the OEM tires, even an inch in extra height can throw your speedo off by 5% or more.

Some have seen upwards of 20mpg with that swap. Having a lot of weight and no power is terrible on gas.

I have pretty much the same vehicle, and I average 11-12. The 3VZE is too little of an engine for what it's in.

HammerheadFistpunch > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 15:25

its a great engine (the 1fz) but its also a lot of truck.

Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Fact! Isn't the VZ iron block? Because if it is then the aluminum 1UZ oughta be a fair bit lighter even with two more cylinders.

deprecated account > HammerheadFistpunch 12/18/2015 at 17:19

Yep, well that's the trade off I guess.

HammerheadFistpunch > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 17:23

its a tradeoff I can live with.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 17:24

It is, but it’s also a fair bit lighter than you think. The UZ weighs about the same as an LS1, and that’s 75 pounds heavier than the VZ.

deprecated account > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies 12/18/2015 at 17:48

Something to be said for pushrods, though, making a 5.7L V8 weigh about the same as a 4.0, both aluminum block and head.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > deprecated account 12/18/2015 at 18:05

It’s all in those dimensions. I’d much rather have the 1UZ, since driving a bunch of trucks with LS engines has revealed to me what I originally though: they are cheap forms of extra power, that aren’t really that special.

In the 4Runner, absolutely! But before you go calling LS engines not special, just remember that the LS7 was a thing.

Jeez, how early did you have to wake up??? My school starts at 8:15, so I make it on time if I get out of bed at 7:30.

Well it was only a few of them, relatively speaking. Doesn't change the fact that it sounds sex.
