Right on about the shifting-so smooth! Low end torque-I like! I’m getting 20mpg, taking it easy most of the time, but it will fly when I need to!

[@mjfamgo6563]

I have the same but with trd off road package! Also 35k on it and it’s a wonderful truck. Getting 22 while not towing. Interior is amazing, infotainment is wonderful, the radar cruise is wonderful, the land cruiser engine is awesome, the transmission is unreal, it’s superb off-road and no issues with the engine!

I have 232K miles on my 07 tundra 5.7L 4x4. I can honestly say ive had 0 breakdowns. Just notmal maint. Dealer scheduled stuff due to miles. Ive heard mixed reviews on the new motors in these trucks. I personally dont think i would pick up these new ones. I eventually will pick up maybr a 15 or 16. But at 232K miles still running strong. Saw my same truck the other day with 391K.

[@kylechrestman6955]

Love hearing people who got 16-18mpg out of the 5.7. No doubt amazing trucks, one of the best engines ever. I drove one for many many years. I did change to 275/65/20 all terrains but nothing else, and never ever saw 16-18mpg. On average over 200k miles my truck was around 12.5- 13.5mpg. Never saw mileage that high. Most people putting down the new v6TT haven’t tried one. They tow circles around the 5.7. Anyone saying different has never used either truck for truck purposes. It’s Toyota, they will iron the kinks out of the new engine and it will be legendary just like the 5.7. I’m personally fine with the v6TT getting crappy mileage, it’s just that much better for towing than the old i-force

I hope it will be just as good and I know Toyota is good at what they do, but I am still a little worried.

[@SethM07]

Huge Toyota fan, but average 10 mpg with our 07/08 Tundra with the 5.7 towing a 06 Z21 Ranger. One reason why we’re deciding to go diesel and not new tundra is cause there isn’t really a difference in tow mpg for that 70k price tag.

[@vskplmr]

Is diesel price itself not good reason?

[@SethM07]

@@vskplmr Eh, I get it, its only about $1 more but for diesel but the difference in MPG is worth it to us. From Lake Havasu in Arizona to Bakersfield CA, our 07/08 Tundra averaged 8.4 MPG with the Z21 Behind it (I would expect the new tundra to do this too). I would assume that a 3/4 Ton truck wouldve averaged somewhere 11/12 MPG.

I appreciate the v8 diehards. I have both a 2003 4.7L v8 SR5 sport with 240,000 miles. I recently bought a 22 1794 Edition. Love it. For those that want a v8, eventually the v8s across all manufacturers will go away due to the EPA emissions continuing to tighten over the next few years. It’s not for fuel economy, simply tailpipe exhaust gas limits. For those that have v8s keep them. Their value will only increase over the next few years. Eventually, the next generation of buyers will never have driven a v8 or possibly even a v6, making it even easier for manufacturers to sell smaller displacement power train vehicles.

Hate to break it to new 2023 Tundra owners. But, turbo charged engines do NOT last for the same sort of extended mileage without service as a normally aspirated engine. Higher cylinder pressures and more power per unit volume means lower engine life. Only time will tell how long these drive trains will last under normal usage.

I get better mileage than in my 2013 ram 5.7 liter hemi. I wish Toyota would have kept the v8’s.

So economy didn’t increase a bit towing from the previous gen V8. Those numbers match the 14 Tundra Platinum I had with 220K plus miles on it. So glad I switched to a F150 PowerBoost!

[@tmr8193]

I'll pass. I'll keep my 2020 1794 tundra. 14in screen is redundant. Pano is OK but regular sunroof is nice in mine. Been in the new tundras the jbl sound system is still ass. If I had to buy another truck, I'd probably get a diesel with these prices of tundras.

Trucks are awesome, mpg not so much

[@SteegeFish]

That MPG is absolutely garbage for a new truck especially towing a only a bass boat.The truck itself is nice but no way I could live with that especially if driving across the country was my job.

[@koojo138]

I’m surprised you don’t get better gas mileage. I have a 2018 Tundra and I get 9.5 towing my 7000 lb Airstteam and about 13 mpg not towing. I have Trd off-road limited with 33 inch bfg ko2s.

[@calebniederhofer6529]

There is no way. You might the seeing that on the computer, or level highway 55 mph. Towing a enclosed trailer, and 7000lbs will get significantly less up any hills, or stop and go.

@@koojo138 I am a big Ecoboost fan, and think Ford is years ahead of the competition on turbo charged motors, design, reliability. I would be happy to discuss it. I currently own a second gen 2.7 myself.

It wasn’t broken in yet, so it did get a little better, lol but I still only get 11-12.5 towing about 4500lbs… I do drive fast

[@mikeharris130]

A bit disappointed in the fuel mileage. My 2018 F-150, 3.5 Eco boost gets 20 mpg when not towing and 13 when towing. Probably need to remove the Toyota from my list of next trucks.

[@MyChaoticFishing]

Was gonna say, my boat/trailer is at 3236 dry so about 3500 loaded. I get 13 towing and 21 without out of my 2015 v6 Silverado.

I have a 2023 silver one.. I absolutely love it.. I love the storage space underneath the seats.. ride is smooth.. plenty of horsepower for me..

[@user-le9be6es4t]

Do the following items bother you? Maybe I am more discriminating: 1) No decent truck box access solution (no in tailgate step assist) 2) 'Hump' in the center of the rear passenger floor. F150 and Ram are completely 'flat.' Flat floors allow for more stable storage of longer items without a teeter-totter rocking issue. 3) Poor Door/Window Seals - I read a LOT of complaints about wind noise squealing into the cockpit because of poorly designed weather stripping. 4) Lackluster fuel economy - Ford turbos provide much better mpg 5) Poor fit and finish and hardware - Read a lot about poor fit and finish..... cheap side seat plastic panels breaking, etc. 6) Ridiculous feature where the vehicle shuts off when you open the door after remotely starting it. I am not a 'hater'..... I did own a new Highlander Limited in 2014 and hated the fact that the vehicle would shut off when opening the door after a remote start - what a stupid thing to do. You don't remote start a vehicle with the thought of entering it and having to restart it)

[@user-mh5qg5jb7d]

I just came from an F-150 3.5l ecoboost to the new tundra, and the ford did not get any better mpg. The quality of the tundra is also much better than the ford. Mine is a 23', and I think Toyota has worked out the new-gen issues with rattles, etc. I also have a bed step, so no issues getting in an out. I couldn't care less about rear hump.

[@user-le9be6es4t]

@@user-mh5qg5jb7d Most serious truck owners care about the things I listed..... also, rear seat legroom is not as big as its competitors.... and headroom in the rear seat is horrible. I am 5/11 1/2" tall, and my hair hits the rear headliner on the outboard sides...and, with a sunroof, I literally have to turn my head sideways and smashed against the headliner in the 'center' rear seat position. Combine that with your knees halfway up to your chest because of the dopey rear passenger floor hump, and it is one uncomfortable place to be. Do you like how the remote started vehicle shuts off when you open the door? WTH is with that? My Highlander did that and I hated it. That side bumper step is so funny.... looks like a complete afterthought.... did they buy that from Home Depot and bolt it on? Hard pass on this Tundra for me...and I HAVE owned a Toyota in the past....so, am certainly not 'anti-Toyota'..... or I would have never checked one out for fun. Just curious, how can you say the 'quality is much better on the Tundra than the Ford?' The tundra has lots of online complaints about window frame wind leaks, rattles all over the dash and door panels, and breaking cheap plastic seat side trim pieces... not to mention some mechanical issues when first released - not sure if those were adequately addressed or not, but, not sure that quality fit and finish is something that can be attributed to the new Tundra based upon many, many user reviews. But good luck with yours!

[@ToyotaTacoma-js6on]

Your fuel mileage is no better or worst than the 5.7 V8. I would not buy one because of the V6 Turbo. I will just keep my old Tundra with the V8. That V6 turbo will not last 400,000 miles as the 5.7 V8 do. You will have trouble and spend big money on those turbos after the 100,000 mile mark. Turbo V6 not for me.

[@mooseoxtank]

V6 Tundra? Are you stranded? Need a tow? Let me know, I got a V8 SR5 TSS Offroad.

If by that, you mean I paid cash for my Tundra at the dealer… yes, I did. Wrote a check in full from my bank account.

V6 with turbo? I doubt it'll reach 400k miles...
