I bought another car! Sequoias are definitely not the most economical vehicles... but I needed something that is capable of towing ~7500 lbs. I always thought that Sequoias get terrible mpg, but my experience has not been that bad! I got a 2wd model with the 5.7 engine. Most of my trips have gotten 17-20 mpg. I just recently removed the front mudflaps and roof rack so I might notice a difference from that.

Here are some other plans I have for the car:

1. Rear mudflap alteration
2. Front air dam
3. Partial belly pan
4. Block heater, oil + transmission pan heaters (mpg is very bad when it is cold)
5. Flux hybrids kit
6. Transgo shift kit

With all these (minus the flux hybrids kit) I hope to get 23-24 mpg consistently. With the flux hybrids kit, I hope to get at least 35 mpg!
