Well, only slightly heavier... 1" taller, but a fraction narrower than stock. I wasn't looking to add 30-50lbs a wheel, lol. And yeah, 60mph will do me. I reckon I'm not in much of a hurry...

And for what it's worth guys, yes, I do almost exclusively highway/long country roads with no stop signs/lights, where you can do 55-65... and I do drive mindfully.

The Destination AT2 has superb rolling resistance, similar to the stock tires on the HE, just a bit heavier, and the width is I believe a fraction of an inch narrower than stock. Width, weight, and rolling resistance are far bigger factors when you're only gaining an inch or so of tire height...

So you drive a slightly heavier, slightly less aerodynamic version of my truck and average around 1.5 MPG less than me. That seems to track perfectly. What exactly do you find hard to believe?

My 100 was heavy and got about the same. Weight will do it. The 200 is roughly stock. I reckon there is actually more of a market for the 300 in the US than they figured, particularly with the success of the 250 prepping people to rethink the idea of a premium Toyota SUV.

13 is low, even for the 200. I agree I get better than average, but 15-16 can be reasonably expected. And as I clarified, I'm speaking from the point of view of a previous gen owner. Where's the incentive? In my case, what, 1-2 mpg? Assuming 15 for most folks, 4 mpg? And a hybrid turbo 4-banger...

Jesus, not to step on anybody's toes, but the 250's MPG sucks for what you give up. I get 17-18 MPG with my 200 HE running 33" Destination AT2s. I've rarely had a genuine problem with Toyota's seeming obsession for denying the US market diesel variants, but in this case... I mean, come on. I...

I would love to run an OEM 17" rim on my 2020 Heritage Edition. That said, every time I look into it, I run into threads with a hundred pics of LXs running OEM 17"s to every one pic of a 200 running OEM 17"s. Seems it's an easier thing to do with an LX than a 200. The only OEM 17" rim I know...

It doesn't? A specialty Land Cruiser mods kit manufacturer doesn't make any products for the 200? Really? How shocking. That's shocking. I'm shocked. I've taken to writing shaming emails to these mod outfits that all say more or less the same thing: "I know the 200 series is still a...

I love this hack and also hate it. I hate it because it's six years old, and there STILL isn't a pro kit you can buy for this. I mean, I get they didn't sell a ton of 200's, but COME ON... it is literally easier to find the odd random kit made for the three people who successfully imported...

The 4Runner will “move away” from being the primary off-road option? Move away to what, exactly? To being a 4th option in Toyota’s mid-price “SUV-but-not-an-off-roader” line-up already occupied by the RAV, Highlander, and Venza? And the sole dedicated off-roader will be 300 that even with a...

the US will never see a 70 series or any other dual solid axle truck… it just doesn’t make any sense to sell it here. The reason those trucks are sold in Australia is simple… Australia has much more challenging terrain than the US. Well, except for the equally challenging terrain in the rural...
