I was curious what gas mileage to expect if I decided to lift my 3rd gen 4runner.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Suggested Format:

=========================

[city gas mileage] / [highway gas mileage]
[2.7L] or [3.4L]
[lift (in)]
[gear ratio] or ["stock ratio"]

16.5/18-19
3.4L
3in lift
stock ratio
285/75/16's yoko geo Ht/S (street tread)

(and yes that is using the correct miles to calculate)

 

There was the exact same thread like a month ago, I cant find it though.

Im getting 16-18 mpgs with 35's on hiway, and 14-16 city. 4.30 gears, 3.4l.

 

I get the same. Or right around there. 5.29's and 35's.

 

oh yeah I forgot to suggest mentioning your tire size! Good thing you guys are smarter than I am. Thanks for your responses... Anyone else?

 

315/75/16
City: 14-16 | Highway: 15-17
3.4
~4" lift (2.5" suspension 1.5" body)
4.88


Usually about 275 miles per tank

 

-3.4L

-dont know exact mpg's since were in metric, but i get about 280-300km to a tank. about 99% city driving. only time i get more km/tank is when i drive the highway to go wheelin

-about 4" lift. 2.5-3 susp/1.5 body.

another thing that i find really kills my mpg is the arb bull bar. not the most streamlined thing, and add this to big off road 33"s...and well...mileage? whats that? wheres the next gas station?

 

Ditto - Same everything

 

im easy on the pedal now with my 33's so its around 17mpg at best in the city, 14 at worst (stop and go, city has been particularly bad due to that accident with the big dig)

highway is around 18ish.

 

im getting about 14.5 but its mainly due to my rack

lift: 3 inchs, going on 5 with 2 inch bl
tires: 285/75/16 goodyear mtr
rack: yakima load warrior (it will kill your mpg)

 

14.4 with 265's un corrected over 6 mos half city half highway (ish)

 

If I drive like an old lady I can get 21mpg on the highway. Normal city is 15-16mpg

285's
4.10 gears
4" overall lift

Looking at going to 4.56 when I do my lockers and hoping this gets a bit better.

 

3.4
4:30 gears
auto
~1.5" lift.
with 265's I was getting 20 on the hi-way and ~17 city, now with the 285's I seem to get about 18 hi-way and almost the same city, but because it's summer I'm also running the a/c now. I normally drive slow but I usually do at least one or two "floor it" a day. It helps to relax me.

 

3.4L, stock gears, 6-7" lift (3 body, 3-4 suspension), 33s

15-16 city, 17-19 highway

 

That's about what I get with 315/75R16s and 4.88s (edit: Auto tranny).

 

3.4L
4.30
Auto Tranny
Steel Wheels
285/75/16

17-18 mpg mostly, 22mpg cruising long distances on the highway.

 

On my 2003 hilux I have stock 4.1:1 gears, 5 speed manual, 3.4 V6, and I run 265/75x16 BFG A/T's (32" diameter) and the best average Ive got out of a tank of fuel is 12.8 litres per 100km (Australian measurement here), that should equate to 18.28 miles per gallon.

Would going to 4.56:1 ratio better my fuel economy or not? It would rev higher at 60mph wouldn't it?

Also, If I went 285's and the 4.56 gears, what would my economy be then?

Thanks for any help I may get.

 

not to hijack...but some questions and opinions to those with 35's, 4.30's, and 3.4l with ladymatics...assuming youve previously had 33's...

-was there a noticable power loss from the 35's? it was somewhat noticable going stock 265/70's to the 33's...but im over it now.

-how is it on the trail? too tall gearing wise? would it make a difference going to 4.56's? or if im gonna bother to regear...should i go 4.88's? i dont care if its a slug off the line and it'll probably kill my already bad mileage as it is. but how is the combo on the rocks?


much thanks

 

Sorry, 5-speed and crawler.
