Highway 14.3 MPG (315 miles / 22.1 gallons= 14.25)
Pulling a 4300 lbs. trailer
6.3 MPG over mountains
7.3 MPG on flat straight-away
Something seems way off. I contacted the Toyota Dealership and they say that seems low, but not alarmingly low. I started thinking the electrical braking system on the camper was slightly engaged, but this was checked out by the camper dealership and ruled out.
When buying the Sequoia, I expected my gas costs to go up, however, this is unacceptable for a Toyota.
What should be considered acceptable for my MPG??? Any suggestions on how to conserve gas??? Someone mentioned synthetic oil-any specific brands??
I really miss my 4-Runner!!!
Thanks for all input....

Your figures doesnt seem right
The 2004 Iforce v8 should be getting close to 16/15 city 20/18 hwy
there a few thing's you might want to check number one the maf sensor and clean out the flip door location on top the iforce v8 and clean your injectors could be another area which to look at and or replace your spark plug's and IN line fuel filter located under in the frame.....
Let me know if thats helps
Good luck.
