[@Canadarago]

I bought a 2021 Tundra in May of last year. I pulled the trigger due in part to the news that Toyota would be moving to a turbo 6 for 2022. Saw lots of videos from Scotty and others about the reliability of the 5.7 V8. Mileage: on the highway I get 18-20 mpg. In town I can get 12-14. Towing a 3400 lb. travel trailer (like pulling a sail down the road) I get 10-11 mpg with tow/haul on and the transmission in S4 per Toyota recommendations. Used to tow the trailer with a 2004 Chevy Express 1500 hi top van , which is now in retirement (only has to pull my canoe/kayak trailer). The Tundra has no problem climbing the Blue Ridge with the trailer - there seems to be plenty in reserve. I intend to keep this truck for at least 10 years, so I didn’t want to mess with the new tech, since I see Tundras and Sequoias everywhere here in NC and some of them are really old.

[@christopherclark4774]

fellow tundra owner, it has 140k miles and gets about the same mileage as you describe, we average 15. when we used to have a 8500lb camper, going on a 4 hr trip through mild mountains in the poconos, we got about 5-8 mpg

[@rontopping2048]

Small displacement 4 and 6 cylinder engines which use turbos for their torque ratings typically generate their maximum torque at far higher rev ranges than naturally aspirated engines. You have to get high in the rev range in order for the boost to be noticeable, which is why you don't notice any "grunt" at low revs.

Just got back from vacation to Clarksville, TN by way of Upper Michigan and I live in Spokane, WA. I started the trip with 19.1 MPG and finished with 19.4. That’s doing 80 mph through, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and don’t forget the Mountain’s in Montana both ways.

Hey Scotty, Scott from Dallas here. I just purchased a 2024 Tundra 4x4 TRD Sport model. I wanted to share a couple things I learned you may not be aware of. 1. If you get an aftermarket device to plug into the OBD port, you can remove the intentional sound they “programmed” into the truck to make it sound beefier. 2. That same device allows you to adjust where the shift points are in addition to some other things. Do you want me to tell you what I’m talking about so you can have your neighbor get one and try it out for a review? That would be awesome! Thanks for your honest reviews bro!

I have a 2020 Sequoia with the 5.7, and I get about 13 in town. If I take it out on the interstate and set the cruise control to 80, I get about 20 - 21 MPG. I'm glad I got the 5.7, it will be worth a lot of money for a long time.

“Gear hunting” yeah, too many moving parts for me. I’ll just keep my 14 year old f150 5.4 with 250,000 miles on it. Engine still runs smooth as silk and gets 18.9 mpg If it breaks, there’s plenty of parts available. If the new Tundra breaks…..good luck.. The secret to getting longevity out of your truck is to use pure synthetic, and change it every 4,000 to 5,000 miles. And keep your foot out of it. I think the front end on the new tundra is fugly

Lots of other things Toyota got wrong with the new Tundra: Larger turning radius than the previous generation (that stops me right there) smaller fuel tank than the previous generation, and I think, at least in the double cab, you lose 1.5 inches of leg room front and rear over the previous generation. Doesn't sound like much, but you'll notice it.

This is highway driving. Around town I am getting around 18 mpg. I have owned Ram, ford , GMC and the old Tundra. This is by far the nicest vehicle I have had out of all.

I know mopars aren't very well-loved around here but my challenger r/t stick has been beating EPA estimates for over 10 years. Rated at 21 mpg highway, usually sees 22-23 on hour-long highway rides and not uncommonly 24-25 for longer rides. Still don't know how but I managed 27.3 on one LA-phoenix trip (tail wind, overinflated bald tires, hot evening, less-than-usual passing lane usage, basically every factor in my favor). To have gone over 360 miles and still had over 3/8 of a tank left was mind-bending. Had to re-do the math 5 or 6 times to convince myself.

597 miles with an average of 14 MPG only to get up to 21 MPG ? Maybe it’s spent time at idle but definitely believe the MPG savings is not enough or really any better than a V8. We the Consumer are stuck paying the V8 price for a 6 Cylinder vehicle. Once again we are getting ripped off.

Also on the Taurus, check the inertia switch in the truck, quite often if you hit a hard bump or the car got jarred one way or another it'll trip the inertia switch under the (typically) passenger side wheel well carpet cover (as I said,in the trunk), I've seen it enough times for it to cross my mind when you have a no start situation. It's a little red button/circuit breaker essentially, which cuts off the fuel pump, all you have to do is push the button back down to reset it.
