MPG Towing Test w/ 6th Gen 4Runner

TRD JON · Mar 4, 2025

So I recently went on a 600+ mile road trip with my new 4Runner while towing my Space Trailer. I made a full video on my YouTube documenting this, but in short, the 4R did great. I maybe had about 3K lbs total with the trailer and cargo added. The Ironman4x4 Ursa tent also added a bit of drag I’m sure. On my way home I had some bad head wind too which sucked, but the 4R kept cruiser at 70+mph without a hiccup. Total average MPG was 16.3.

Check the video out:

I want to see some numbers from boats being towed. I have towed my boat behind 2 different 4Runners for 20 years.
