Just returned from a 1600 mile road trip, was pleasantly surprised with the MPG. Calculated by odometer and gallons at the pump.

Had been getting low 14s around town in short trips for the first 1000 miles. My prior V8 4runner got a little over 12 in similar driving.

MPG per tank for the trip:
21.15 - mostly freeway
21.30 - mostly freeway
19.03 - slow scenic driving (30-55mph), several stops
22.66 - slow scenic driving, few stops
18.25 - slow scenic driving, lots of stops
22.02 - mostly freeway
19.81 - mostly freeway, hilly and curvy

I have a P+ with stock 20s and Geolanders (for now).


Couple of interesting things I noticed during the trip:
Adaptive cruise will slow down automatically in turns even with no car in front.
The black plastic in the trunk scratches really easily, zipper on a suitcase dug in pretty well. The plastic in my old 4Runner held up a lot better.
Truck gets HOT parked in the sun. Sun visor on the windshield helped a lot. Considering tint to help with that.
Wireless phone charger is pretty much useless.
S-Flow turns itself back on , but doesn't seem to be consistent.
