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

The gas mileage tends to get better once out of the break-in period. This one is just under 600 miles on the clock. Once it hits about 2k+ miles you should see an improvement to upwards of 18 average. Still not 21, but still better. That said, I still wish there was a V8 option.

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.

I own a 22 Tundra Limited CrewMax/Off-Road with a 5.5ft bed. This guy must drive like a mad man. I’ve never gotten worse than 16 combined - I’m usually around 18. On long trips I’ve gotten 26mpg when I was really trying, but it’s usually around 22.5. This guy must have a heavy foot and never take it out of sport mode.

Buying a new one Friday!! Had a 2008 tundra SR5 only 120,000 miles had it completely redone with new paint! Figured the last truck I would ever buy, but the flood in Eastern Ky got me! With the extreme prices for the 2020 an 2021 an an the high interest rates on the used ones the new were better deal!

Backup cameras are required by The NTSB now. I think they passed the law in 2018. So you'll notice every 2019 to current model year will have a Backup camera regardless of the make or model. The main reason they did it was to reduce the amount of small children being run over because you can't see them. It's a law now. They have to include one.

[@hankkingsley9300]

Some small children do need to be run over

[@EveryDayTrucker]

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!

[@steventayman4109]

It just feels crazy to think that just 20 years ago a car got almost the same gas mileage as some trucks these days

[@pilotoblackbird433]

SHOUTOUT CONROE! Miss you Scotty! My girlfriend and I just bought a brand new 2022 Nissan Versa SR for 26.5k from Keating Nissan. The car had 7 miles when we drove off. Felt good being 21 with a new cute little car. 40 miles to the gallon too

[@SavageBunny1]

I had a 08 tundra, brand new, it was a 5.7, tow package 4.30 gears, I would average around 17MPG, with about 80% highway, It was literally the most fuel efficient V8 I've ever had.

I love the new style of the Tundra. I'm just not interested in this new V6 turbo or EV version, I'd rather have the V8.

[@Diesel_Mountain]

Because the EV especially is a scam playing on people's emotions as they surpass all logic. None of this has to do with the environment, only sales. V8 all the way. If the government doesn't want us to have something it's the FIRST indicator that they have something to gain while we have everything to lose.

I have a 2019 1794 Tundra V8. When I first got it. It too was getting the same gas mileage. Now I’m getting 16 MPG city. Went to Florida was getting 20 MPG!!! Loaded with vacation stuff. Last year was towing a trailer (7,000 lbs) through the mountains of TN to east coast was getting 10-12 MPG!! Just wait until he gets more miles. He’ll definitely get better mileage!!

[@dextermay4007]

I’m laughing at today’s mileage numbers. My ‘56’ 210 Chevy with standard three on the tree straight 6 cylinder consistently got 21-24 mpg. Regular ethanol free gasoline cost 25 cents / gal. We now pay more in taxes per gallon….that’s progress?

[@TwoPair72]

Don’t really need a truck, but I do wish the 5.7 was available. Bump the hp up some to match Ram and Ford. Workout the interior quality. electronic and lighting issues and you’ll have a great truck.

[@Judgemental_Crow]

Imagine if Toyota turboed the 5.7 to compete with the trx and raptor 🥹😍🥰

[@AngryBeaver64]

I purchased the 2022 Toyota TRD Limited Hybrid. If you drive normal (55-65 mph) without a heavy foot (Cruise Control) I was getting 24.8mpg. If I drive faster 70-75 or heavy foot I get 20-21 mpg. 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 tow smaller trailers (2500-4500 lbs) with a drop in fuel mileage but nothing like the drop I had with my old Tundra. To each his own but i am enjoying this vehicle.

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

“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

[@gregb9264]

Did original transmission go out tho?

[@kingdysfunction7609]

I have a 2001 tundra with over 250000 miles, it has been in a pretty bad accident, so it is prior salvaged. I use it to tow fishing boats and lawn supplies. Sometimes on occasion to move people. It is my dream truck and wish I had the money to restore it. I digress my point being that Toyota makes amazing v8 engines.

[@kennethcargill3512]

The owner must have a lead foot. For the last five years I've been getting 15-17 mpg in my 2016 and 2018 Tundras. When towing 7-10k pounds that goes down to eight. To get ten mpg without towing you have to be either punching it, sitting in traffic a lot, or sitting in the car with the engine running while parked,.

[@vflrockytop]

Scotty, I just can't let my v8 go. I bought my 2018 tundra new in November 2017. It has 50,000 miles on it now. The new smell is gone but it's still new to me. My 5.7 pulls my 32 ft travel trailer with zero issues at 9.0 mpg

You will get a kick out of this. Checked a Toyota dealer about an hour and a half from my house. On their site for used trucks, I looked for tundras. As I was scrolling down they only had two but the list other locally. AS I go down I see about 10 2022 tundras on their lot. The dealer was a ford dealer. I guess a whole bunch of owners think the new trundra is not what it should be.

The other night when I got off of work I accelerated conservatively as a test (but still did 5-10 MPH over the limit) and got 20.6 MPG that trip home. I towed my camper with the dirt bikes in the bed AND ran E85 (supposedly 30% less gas mileage over standard pump gas) and got 11 MPG that trip. I sincerely don’t understand how anyone can get 10 MPG with no trailer just driving around town in the v8 Tundra.

[@tundras4ever552]

My v8 2021 tundra can consistently get 18-20 hwy and 16 city so there is absolutely no reason to upgrade to the new tundra. I have to say the interior is super nice on that 22 compared to my 21 and also rides a lot smoother. But it’s also much more expensive

[@johnnycarrasco5593]

Traded my 2006 double cab in with 150,000 miles. Bought it new. Well taken care of. Got the 21 crew max for fear of the V8 discontinued. Love it. The 06 never saw a car lot. Someone swooped it up the next day. No buyers remorse, is trade in remorse a thing? Should have just kept it also. Hope they take care of it

[@m.f.m.67]

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.

[@rm5282]

My 2023 and 2015 have close to the same turning radius. The truck is 4 inches longer and there isn't much difference in the wheelbase.

IIRC the V-8 wasn't always available in the early Tundras. I think there was a meeting between the dealers and Toyota at one time. Toyota North America asked corporate if they planned a V-8. When they responded "No" North America said, "Then you may as well go home."

Big Question: Because this is a Tundra with a turbocharger, should you change your synthetic motor oil ~ every 4K miles because of the turbo, despite what the owner's manual says? We know what Toyota "says" because of the "Cost of Ownership" game. Thnx.

[@ricanderson5717]

4-5k if you plan to keep the thing past the warranty. The 10k tends to be the longest the vehicle can go between oil changes and not break under warranty for many mfgrs. Same with lifetime or 80k or other giant numbers for trans and diff fluids.

[@danieljacobs6921]

I’ve changed my 2011 f150 eco boost every 5 thousand miles. It just hit 220k. Always with full synthetic.

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.
