Agreed. When we're talking about vehicles that gets about 20 miles per gallon, small improvements mean a lot in terms of real-world cost. The 5 mpg (city) improvement from the 4WD gas 4Runner to the 4WD hybrid equals a jump of more than 25%! This means a lot more distance covered for the same money. And it's an even bigger jump and improvement compared to the 2024 5th gen 4Runner's MPG.It’s over 30% increase over the V6 on the highway and nearly 20% increase in the city. That’s massive.
AWD adds drag, weight, and cost which hurts gas mileage. Part time 4WD is why the Sport gets better highway gas mileage than the Full Time 4WD Limited.
