MPG TESTING ON THE NEW 2024 TACOMA. ⛽️

[@desertdog2282]

WHAT… my old 05 Taco with the V6 would get 20+ on the highway trips from Southern to Northern California.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

I believe that! My 22 v6 would get 20-22 on the same drive I tested this 24 on

[@Bryan-uw1ny]

Same on my 02.

[@nikotal.4282]

Just did some long trip ~1000 miles, got 21.3 mpg on average on my stock 23 TRD pro v6, ~65MPH , 2 passengers and me , fully loaded bed with skiing/skating gear, food, and other stuff... I also have rock sliders which decrease my millage, and of course the weather is pretty cold over here, mountains...

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

@nikotal.4282 wow that’s pretty good for a pro. Hell yeah. What a cool truck!!

[@Frontier2022]

Im disappointed with all fanfare of this new engine it would been cheaper to keep the old one. My 3.8 Frontier does better.

[@planoman0935]

Frontier has a 9 speed Transmission. Almost got one! Tacoma steering, handling and ride seems better to me. Price sure was better!

[@planoman0935]

At 2000 miles on my 24 Tacoma. Did two tanks in city and two on highway on eco and normal testing my MPGl. Normal gave me better mileage by 1mpg. I usually go 350 miles between fill ups. Averaged 20 in city and 23 (26 with tail wind/21 with headwind) highway. When the estimated range hits zero you still have over 2 gallons left in the tank. I hit zero range at about 325 but routinely go to 350. Would have loved a 400 mile range in the new Taco! For those who don't like this engine and transmission, they are better without a doubt. Faster, more torque and smoother shifting. This engine has been used in several Toyotas and Lexus. The turbo was beefed up to cool better for off roading and towing. Not sure if it will last as long as the V6, but the Frontier still has a V6!

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

That is good to know. I have 1100 on mine now and it does seem to be doing better. I hope I can get into the 20s because 280 miles on a tank is crazy😂 I was really disappointed when they made the gas tank smaller tho. I thought the tank was too small on my 22! And that’s interesting that you say normal gets better mpg. I felt like the eco mode made the gas pedal way too laggy and I felt like I just ended up getting after it more. The powertrain is money! And you’re right, it really doesn’t sound that bad. Listening to the audio on my towing video that I just posted, it actually sounds decent!

[@monocogenit1]

thats about what I get in my 23' frontier pro4x.

[@beexiong2995]

That range reading is highly inaccurate. The computer will average your tank range by averaging your lifetime mpgs. But if you reset it will reset everything and start all over again. Also driving up the mountain will always kill the mpg. Tfl has averaged as high as 26 on their 110 mile loop

[@Weatherby406]

My 4Runner gets 12-14 against the wind. Good day 16-17. My 4.0 tacoma is lucky to see 15mpg. The biggest savings you will see is in town. They were stupid to put a smaller gas tank in it though!

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

That gas tank is dumb for sure!

[@planoman0935]

Agree the 3 gallon smaller gas tank is no bueno!

[@Dr_779]

Wow, I’m surprised it’s that low! My 2018 TRD Off Road V6 does 25+ mpg on the highway. Worst case is short trips on cold winter days (when the engine never gets a chance to warm up)… those types of trips probably average 17-18 mpg. Overall I’m usually 22-24 mpg when I fill up. I don’t baby it, but don’t really get on it much either. I can’t believe that 4 cylinder doesn’t get better mpg than the V6. I guess another reason to keep my 3rd gen as long as possible.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah i had a 22 sr5 Tacoma that I would get about 20mpg in and then as it broke in I got 22ish. So I’m hoping this turbo 4 gets better as it breaks in.

[@SantosRiveraPR75]

Enjoy for the first 50,000 miles.

[@jasonbaxter2733]

i'm getting 21 average around town. Eco mode taking it a bit easy but not really babying it. Just easy on it from stops seems to help a bunch and not letting it idle much. Trucks great so far 800mi but i'm nervous about the louver sensor, might tape it up also!!

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

That’s awesome! I can’t stand the eco mode. It makes the Gas pedal feel super numb. Might be worth it tho if you’re getting that kind of mileage. I still haven’t washed my truck because of that grille shutter thing. I know it’s probably fine but I don’t want to test it😂 a lot of the comments on my video about that said to use dielectric grease or rubber tape. Apparently electrical tape isn’t waterproof 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@mad-meh2719]

How long are your trips around town?

[@scottthief60]

My 2024 SR 4 door auto is getting 23.1 mpg since new. 1200 miles, mixed, babying it.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

That’s cool! Mine is getting better. I’m doing about 19 now.

[@cs1992]

Your mpg from the garage to the gas station indicated 22.5mpg.. ????

[@joer1328]

Your MPG will improve as your engine breaks in I notice that on my new Tacoma

[@ryantuscher5914]

Using cruise control on the highway helps a ton for mpg's (65-70 mph)

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

Thats about what my 2023 4runner gets for MPG

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah I was hoping I’d get in the 20s I’m hoping it gets better as it breaks in

[@SP-wk1en]

Of course it was the right choice! All of the YouToobs says so. More power! Better gas mileage! Lasts foreverz! Totally has nothing to do with stupid EPA restrictions that are forcing everyone into dumass EV everything.

[@Intrepid175a]

I've had four vehicles with computer estimated fuel economy readouts. I also keep a fuel log on my cars and do my own calculations at each fuel up. All four of these cars averaged anywhere from 1.5 mpg to 2.5 mpg optimistic relative to "my" fuel economy calculations. I'm talking a Honda, a Toyota, a Ford, and a Subaru. They've all been the same. Go figure.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah I figured it might be a little different. That’s why I wanted to make sure to include an actual mileage calculation. I was expecting it to be a little different so I was fairly surprised when it was only off by .3 of a gallon

[@_Fox_Dye]

The price The end 😂

[@Early_2K]

Damn tfl got 26.3 mpg from their taco in their most recent test

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Holy Moses that’s a lot! There’s has a few thousand miles on it. Maybe mine will brake in and do that good🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Early_2K]

@counterfeitcowboy1362 yeah I'm not sure! If you watch their midsized mpg shootout that's where I got that info from! Crazy the difference though

[@ChrisTejada-nl7mh]

The MPGs will go up as you break in the truck

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah it has been getting better. I’m up to 1700 miles on it now

It will probably get better mileage after you a few thousand miles on the truck. It must be very exciting at the dealership when a transport truck lands and is full of new Tacomas. 😊

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah that’s how the last generation Tacoma was. Once you got about 10k on the clock they got better mileage. And it is always a good day when the taco truck shows up 😂

[@KO_infamous]

600 miles into a unbroken-in truck, uphill no less, will yield highly inconsistent results.

[@kasandrahansen7084]

Nice

[@nascarniko2244]

As anyone buying a truck you get what you get. Its a brick not a prious then go buy a prius. If not go buy a ford maverick or ridgeline. Truck at least drives way better than my last truck

[@SP-wk1en]

That electronic dashboard is super cringe. Especially for an offroad truck. Cheap though!

Heck! I get 25MPG with my 23 Frontier... V6....But, if we wanted car like gas mileage, I guess we should have gotten a car!

Aren't you embarrassed you are claiming bad mileage as you drive "HILL TO WORK?" You just answered your "Bad Mileage" question yourself. Nobody on Planet Earth EXPECTS GREAT mileage climbing a freakin hill to work every day. You need a Toyota Prius so you can get 45 MPG (rated 54 MPG) since you climb the hill to work. Then you would complain you don't get 54 MPG. You see the point? LMAO! Serious Bro!

“Topping off” your fuel is foolish behavior

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

Remember everybody the church of global warming which is the most powerful and fastest growing religion in the world has forced upon everyone these tyrannical dictates and these car manufacturers are simply trying to survive in this horrific world that they have created. Turbo engines are not better than naturally aspirated engines. The reason they’re having to go to these engines is because of emissions. It is that simple. A turbo will put out half the emissions that a V6 NA motor will. The problem is once you go to these tiny engines the turbos are always spinning and they use way more gas than an NA engine will which means there is no improvement. Just like the tundra grab a V6 Tacoma while you still can.
