5.7 V8 Toyota Tundra Road Trip! Horrible MPG?

[@OfficialAing]

“Worth Reading” I am probably the biggest tundra fan boy! & I never bought one because of all the bad reviews about its MPG! I gave in and finally bought one. I realized the MPG wasn’t bad! So, I shared it with you! I didn’t want to just do 50mph home cause then we can get 20+ I pushed it (as you saw) and got 18! 🔥🔥

[@RK-nr8qf]

I've been having my '08 since new. 13.5mpg and the most reliable truck past and present.

​@@natchezudoh2763I know right.... Cause you like feet and socks...

[@mikelaughlin270]

I average 12mpg but mine is lifted and riding on 37's. Smiles per gallon is all that matters.

[@themandalorian9009]

For some people it's not about the MPG. It's about reliability and power.

[@Grimreaper45705]

I’m still gonna drive one when everyone switches to v6’s

[@firesupport162]

I've gotten twenty mpgs when it's not revved alot in 45mph to 65mph

[@4WDisLife]

exactly a predictable high gas cost is way better than an unpredictable repair bill

[@zzoinks]

​@@4WDisLifebut the bad thing about gas is it's prices are unpredictable based on global market and oil cartel.OPEC can at any time limit supply to increase their profits and skyrocket gas prices like they did in the 70s. Then all our gas guzzlers would become very undesirable/sell poorly, which is what hurt GM in 07,08. They made a well designed truck just in time for sales of trucks to drop due to crazy fuel prices.

[@Slimrick310]

Getting 18 mpg with u flooring the gas pedal is impressive LOL

Honestly I was like there’s a few gallons right there.

Testing gas mileage. Revs up to 6k rpms.

[@OfficialAing]

Great point!

[@Bru946]

For a V8 truck engine designed in the mid 2000s, 18mpg is pretty good

[@Grgfkn3076]

Especially with him flooring it everywhere!

[@eazytoribio2695]

My 190 hp jeep gets 16mpg 😅

[@mazda_rt24-p]

Like they always say, you don't buy a V8 for good gas mileage.

[@chrismuniz8515]

That's a v8 not bad at all almost 20mpg and hoping to get 500k miles long term not a bad trade off

[@Boards0nfire]

18 while you're damn near flooring it is pretty good lol

[@noahpickerill3749]

Yeah i was about to say like dude 😅

[@nicholaspetre1]

Exactly!! Look at the way he was accelerating))))

[@mr.c493]

That’s pretty good.

[@Lumpia_In_Texas]

That's what my tacoma gets on a hwy

5000 RPM lol

[@frente2zapatista]

“If you can buy the whiskey you can buy the ice”

[@wiifii5.071]

😂😂😂 true

[@toyotas4ever]

Not bad at all! My 4.7 in my first gen Tundra double cab averages 13. My best ever was 18.5

[@nicholaspetre1]

My record was 24 mpg couple of times. My 2021 Tundra DoubleCab RWD demonstrates anywhere from 18 to 24 mpg on freeway based on the speed you are going. Every 5 miles per hour increment gives you a different MPG after you reached 6th gear. Being empty on a straight road when speed is 50-60mph the mileage is good, 60-70 it is ok, after 70 it is bad. I made a habit of planning my trip in advance and leaving a bit earlier so I could drive within 55-65mph range. Once get into traffic or have to drive faster than 65 mph, I clearly say Bye Bye to fuel economy in my mind. And city driving is usually about 10-13 mpg while driving very gently. Yes, this particular truck is not about economy. It is about love and when you love you ve got to pay. I recorded every fuel charge I did since bought it brand new and the average MPG for the last 10K miles on odometer is 14.15 MPG. Always always gently driven. It is bad, no argue in that. Do I regret?! A bit… But on the other hand for $45K in 2021 after COVID there was nothing else to buy. Those Fords and Chevys are such a junk. People complain so bad. I made a choice to rather pay at the pump than at the repair station.

[@johnpermabullsmith875]

Thats very good. I get 13mpg on a 2005 5.7 Hemi

[@mannyn9678]

Won’t trade my 2020 1794 for a new one! Even if they have it to me for free! Great truck! Add sway bars front and rear and solve the back country curves issue.

[@youtubeistrash-_-]

That is good gas mileage for a truck that can do anything you NEED it to and not want. Super underrated and slept on trucks and the new twin turbo trucks and American competition is nowhere near as solid.

[@typowers101]

Lmao you getting almost 20 mph while driving like you’re on a drag strip, definitely not bad.

[@OfficialAing]

Agreed! I did it for a reason. Lots of people say it’s horrible, if I got 20MPG while having a lil trek bit of a heavy foot you can drive normally and get way better!

[@Sam-dq7ws]

Best truck

[@freedomisntfree_44]

I’ve gotten 22-23 all day long with a 13 5.7 sequoia. With you flooring it constantly then yeah nothing will get good mpgs. Put the instant fuel economy gauge on and use so restraint 😅

[@noahpickerill3749]

Dang Mt mom's 2011 Sequoia gets like 16.3, and we drive it mostly gentle.

[@jamescavanaugh2536]

Congratulations. Gonna be weird seeing you in a Tundra. New content should get you to a million subs pretty quickly.

[@jflowers090]

It's a reliable truck and honestly 18 is pretty good.

[@BlackwaterFather]

That's better then my 2002 Tacoma V6. It averages 15-16mpg. Stock height with 265/75R16 Mud terrains, ARB bumper w/ winch, and camper shell. 5VZFE....power of a 4cyl, MPG of a V8 lol

[@senormomero8748]

I have the manual transmission and it just that I’m gettn thos types of mpg 🥲 just recently drove to Guanajuato mx and did alright on gas🤷‍♂️

[@SupramanTRD]

I hear of this pretty often. Owners of the 4.0 and 3.5 tacomas actually getting 13-15mpg once they throw on proper wheels, tires, and a small lift. Things that basically don't affect the Tundra. Making it better on fuel

[@TempoMontages]

My 2000 4runner gets 15 mpg average with 3 inch lift and mud tires

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

My 2021 Tundra TRD Pro double cab gets 18 highway regularly. I live in Texas where it is super flat, so if I keep it at 70 mph I can get 19-20 no problem. In town, I average around 15.5 mpg. Granted the double cab is about 215 lbs lighter than your crewmax.

[@Higuys1aaq223]

Mine with a custom built flatbed and bunkers with fuel wheels get 12.4 hooked up to my camper around 11.4

[@thegutz1062]

I did'nt buy my 21 for the gas mileage........but you'll never catch me in a 22 and up model.....no thanks to the POS TTV6.........thanks toyoyta for the dissapointment!!!

[@ToyotaTruckBuilds]

That’s actually quite good for how you were driving it!

[@EM-dw2yv]

you are flooring the truck .i love TRD 2019 tundra

[@bartcleveland9655]

Acceleration like that no wonder you get bad gas mileage. I love my V8 Tundra. The V6 trend is not going to last because the life of those engines will be shorten if you tow.

[@nateg08]

Thats not bad. Myb3.5 ecoboost gets average of 17.5 over 4k miles. Which is pretty decent considering i tow and haul alot and live in the mountains. It doesnt do much better than the v8s but where it shines is in towing. Id rather tow withbit over a 6.2 any day. I keep my oil changes to 5k or less and have had none of the infamous ecobopst problems. But i digress. Thats honestly pretty decent for older tech v8.

[@919hey]

Cranking on that E brake when your on perfectly flat asphalt. Nice

[@onetomeplz5825]

I drove almost every weekend to my dad’s place he lives about an hour away 52 miles per gps and my 5.7 use 1/4 tank for that

[@markadams5823]

Just think how much you save not taking it to the shop for repairs

[@walterwolford7696]

replace all gear oil with royal purple or amsoil and you will actually get 4 to 5 mpg better. including fully draining all trans fluid

[@1012Mrjesse]

People don’t buy trucks to get good fuel mileage lol. If you buy a truck and expect anything more than 20 on average you’ll be greatly disappointed, especially if you do a lot of stop and go traffic

[@gablamo013]

My 3rd gen on 35’s is getting 18-20, and it puts way more power to the wheels

[@firesupport162]

Considering its fully stock which it definitely appears like it is and assuming its been maintained good with oil changes miles are too low for the rest of the upcoming intervals that would affect the mpgs 18s not bad at all

[@mcleodautomation]

My WRX gets 22 on premium, this is a walk in the park.

[@Dmoney42033]

I got the 5.7l v8 in my 2019 tundra and I average 15 around town and around 18 on the hwy

[@davidwelty9763]

You can hear the engine revs, this guy is heavy on the gas for sure.

[@OfficialAing]

Yea! I wanted it to be honest! I like to drive the truck hard. So with a heavy foot I got 18, imagine if you baby it!

[@T_81535]

​@@OfficialAingyou don't even have to baby it. Just drive like a normal commuter and not like your trying to win the Daytona 500

[@HieuLe-yp5qe]

you never have a 10 inch lift tundra before huh ? 7mpg on highway and im still happy about it

[@theUltimateLord]

That 38 gallon tank helps out

[@bdb3011]

70 miles in no way constitutes a "road trip"...and just looking at the info on the dash and not doing the actual math.... well... time to go back to school.

[@OfficialAing]

Understood! I greatly appreciate this comment! 😎

[@sunshinepeaks1189]

The comfort though....❤

[@JB-mn2gu]

So you bought a 5.7 liter V8 ,JUST so you could bitch about the gas mileage?

[@OfficialAing]

Wow, such a good comment! You got it! That’s exactly what I did! 👍

[@6roke6oySiX]

2 things: it would of did better if you didn't keep flooring it. Why the parking break?

[@OfficialAing]

Flooring it was to show that you can get good MPG and not drive like a grandma. I am use to putting the parking brake everywhere I go, any down side to using it vs not?

[@JuniorTLafaille]

I respect anyone who actually set their emergency/parking brakes when packed!

well throw that out the window the trade off is well kept maintenance will give you a reliable trucks for decades. any decent vehicle will do that up to a point IMO. Tundra 2015 SR5 love to tow and hunt the tx hill county hasn’t failed me yet.

[@salvadoravila5306]

18mpg is AMAZING for a v8!! I would’ve probably got less in my 2015 Tacoma 4.0 tbh 😅

[@505armory]

My 2016 5.7 gets about 13.5 city, but on highways i get about 20. I think people exaggerate the MPG. Now the Titans that’s horrendous😂

[@sargeatlarge24v]

My Chevy 2500hd gets 6mpg when my wife drives it and I get steady 11.6 mpg 😭 Definitely going with a tundra when my frame snaps in half 😂

See if you drive that truck gently you could probably get 20MPG but honestly the Tundra being reliable beats all rhe GM trucks with their better mpg

You need to fillup, then fillup again, then divide into the number of miles. You can't assume the vehicle readout is accurate. My brother-in-law's Tundra averaged 12 mpg.

[@ronniejr1983]

So the numbers by hand. Ya never know

[@Swindy1794]

Well when you drive like THAT.. yeah, you’re going to get lousy gas mileage.. duhh!.. i dont care what you have, if it has a V8 it’s gonna suck on mpg. Dodge Chevy ford .. same result. I own a 2019 Tundra and i love it!.. I’m keeping it till the wheels fall off.

This is the tradeoff for most trucks. You can choose between fuel economy or reliability. Can't have both. I would rather pay more for fuel, than repair the truck.

It's better 18 mpg that having to replace your engine like the owners of the brand Tundra/Sequoia, Lexus Lx600

[@danhjelholt5262]

If the road test is looking to see how bad it is on gas….then you’re doing a great on. 5000RPM ??? And a 70mile road trip is hardly enough to get an average MPg. Take it slow, get up to speed easy, glide…..& do it for a couple tanks of gas…..that’ll give you a reading of how good it can be. Even at 17-20MPG, and that’s similar to the new V6, however the new V6 isn’t there just to improve the mileage by 1-2, it’s there to drastically improve emissions.

[@bertolopez5832]

Ok go ahead and put 1 qt of oil and DIF in your dramax every 500 miles and pay double or triple for an oil change
