2025 Toyota 4Runner Gas Mileage: Gas-Powered Trims by Trim Level
Whether you’re commuting in McAlester, taking long road trips, or heading off the beaten path, understanding the Toyota 4Runner mpg can help you plan your routes.
The official Toyota 4Runner mileage and performance ratings remain highly consistent across the lineup. For the 2025 model year, six gas-powered configurations are available, each running on the same i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and automatic 8-speed transmission. With a compression ratio of 11.0:1, this engine runs best on unleaded, regular gasoline (87 octane) and can output up to 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Gas Mileage: Hybrid Trims
The 4Runner hybrid lineup has six trims engineered to optimize your daily 4Runner fuel economy. Running on a variant of the i-FORCE engine called the i-FORCE MAX, this powertrain outputs up to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. This time, all 4Runner hybrid trims are available exclusively with 4WD. Like the gas-powered i-FORCE engine, the i-FORCE MAX engine has a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and runs best on regular, unleaded gasoline (87 octane).

What Affects Your 4Runner’s Real-World Gas Mileage?
EPA numbers are helpful, but they don’t tell the whole story. Here’s what actually impacts your 4Runner’s fuel economy in daily driving.
Driving Conditions (City vs. Highway)
City driving kills your MPG. Constant stopping, accelerating, and idling burns more fuel than steady highway cruising. If your commute is mostly around Muskogee or Tulsa with lots of stoplights, expect to be closer to the city rating (or below it). Highway miles between Muskogee and Tulsa on US-69? You’ll hit or exceed the highway number.
Terrain & Off-Road Use
Oklahoma isn’t flat everywhere. Hills, mountains, and off-road trails all tank your fuel economy. The 4Runner’s 4WD system works harder on rough terrain, and that extra effort means more gas burned. If you’re regularly hitting trails around Lake Tenkiller or the Ouachita Mountains, budget for lower MPG.
No matter which trim you choose, tracking your 4Runner gas mileage helps maximize every tank. If you want to achieve the best possible Toyota 4Runner fuel efficiency during your daily travels, maintaining factory tire sizes and keeping up with routine service at our Muskogee center is key.
Cargo Weight & Towing
Every 100 pounds of extra weight costs you about 1% in fuel economy. Load up the back with camping gear, bikes, and a cooler, and you’ll notice the difference. Towing a boat or trailer? Expect a 20-30% drop in MPG depending on the load.
Tire Size & Modifications
Bigger tires look great. They also hurt your gas mileage. Larger, heavier tires increase rolling resistance and change your gear ratios. If you’ve upgraded to 33-inch tires on your TRD Pro, expect to lose 1-2 MPG. Lift kits, roof racks, and other mods all add drag and weight — which means more fuel burned.
