Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives anybody driving a Toyota Tundra?

Right, I realize some special models come with the 38 gal. tank. Most though, come with their standard 26.5 gal. tank, not a 20 gal. tank.

I have a 2010, 4x4 TRD, Limited, double cab, with 32,000 miles on it. Bought it in May and have not really had a chance to see its true colors yet. It gives 15 miles around town and the only time it sees freeway are 2 miles on the way to the range. Have not taken it off road yet but will see how it works in Colorado next month on a late season OTC Cow hunt. This truck has all the bells and whistles and I'm still trying to figure out what buttons to push on certain things. I also do not like the small gas tank (about 20 or 21 gals). Are there larger tanks available?
Since its new (at least to me) I have had zero maint. problems (looking for wood to knock on). This is one big M'Fer and I truly feel like king of the road in it. Hoping it's the last major purchase I make.

Starting in 2016, 4 of the 6 models get the 38 gal. tank standard: Limited, TRD Pro, Platinum and 1794 Edition. The SR, and SR5 retain the 26 gal. tank. There is an option to get the 38 gal. tank in the SR5

That extra 10 or so gallons is invaluable when hunting way back in the mountains.

I have a 2014 Super Crew with 60K on it.

Love:

Interior size
fit and finish
power

Hate:

Mileage
Small 20 gallon tank

Funny when I bought my F150 I thought it was crazy getting a 36 gallon tank. I guess I lucked into that one

The SR5 upgrade package and above grades get the 38 gal tank.

The easy way to tell is if it has the console shifter (not on the column) then it has the big tank. Only starting in 2016 of course.

My 2015 SR5 was special ordered with a non Flex Fuel engine. Took 2 months to get it, but I seem to be consistently getting 2 more miles per gallon than similar flex fuel engines. Who knows but my 2008 had a non flex fuel engine and I wanted to stick with what had worked for me. There are virtually no non flex fuel engines on the lot in about 30 states. Montana had a few and I almost drove up there prior to ordering. Just something else to think about. I'd kill for the 36 gallon tank on mine.

Can a larger fuel tank be installed in place of the smaller one?

No, not unless you go aftermarket in the bed. You cannot retrofit the factory one.

They aren't cheap, but a larger tank is out there.

2011 Tundra TRD, 4wd Double Cab with the 5.7, 4.30 rear and tow package. Mine has a 26 gallon tank but would love to have the 36 one. It has been a great truck thus far.

My friend just replaced his gas tank and internal fuel pump on a F150 for 150 bucks. I think the tank and pump were both 75 bucks or so. I had a F150 straight 6 in the 90s, and I loved that it had 2 tanks. I have 26 gallons on my 4.7 first generation Tundra, and I wish it was bigger.

I have a 2014 too with only 4000 miles on it but I'm more interested in the 5-window deluxe parked behind yours. Can you tell us about it? Thanks..
