Those that have them, what type of "real world" gas milage are you getting?

Looking at an 06 V6 4x4

Had a 2wd. It got 18 mpg with mixed driving. About 21-22 highway. 4wd will be less than that of course.

i have a '13 v6 4x4. I'm getting 19-20.

Still have an 06 2WD. Getting 19 in just about any circumstance, 21 or better if its all interstate.

Good truck...door locks suck.

Those with the v6, any regrets note getting the v8?

None...fuel economy will suffer with boat, trailer, etc but no issues with power in my opinion.

V6 has plenty of power. If you "need" the extra HP of the V8, you need to buy something different. If you are going to be hauling a camper or big ski boat, the 4runners suspension is going to be the limiting factor.

I haul maybe a 1654 in the winter time and that's about it. Less than 1% of my driving is hauling.

Thanks for the input guys. DS is always Very helpful. Not to far from putting my 06 f150 up on the market.

It will haul your boat fine. That being said, ever Toyota I've owned hasn't gotten as good of fuel mileage as I thought. Real fuel mileage on a v6 is around 16-18 city, 18 being rare. They do not like a downshifting pass and stay off the skinny pedal. I've had friends looking for a 4x4 4runner and they can't find a decent deal on one. I convinced one to get the GX460 lexus and he could find a better deal in that(and it has rear lockers). He was looking for a truck for his wife and to pass down to him as a hunting truck. You can come drive my 4x4 Toyota that gets 12mpg a while if you want to appreciate 16-18!

Anything you want to know about toyotas is on 1h8mud. I have an 80 series with w 1fz-fe 4.5L straight 6. 11mpg's while we are talking about gas mileage. But its fully locked front, center, and rear from the factory and full time 4wd.
