Great power, but they passed everything but a gas station. My Tundra doesn't count because its 21 years old and gets 20 mpg. Sorry..

The first gen's are the only one I'd consider.. It even does better than my '04 double cab TRD taco..


Lawrence,

First generation Tundra is 2000 - 2006? If so, there is nearly 20 million miles reported on Fuelly for that vintage. The lowest average is 14.4 MPG for the 2004. The highest average is 15.1 MPG. The average for all, 2000 - 2006, is 14.7 MPG. I don't see how this better than the current generation.

Your experience is not reflected in the data for over 1000 other first generation Tundras and their drivers. The data follows a normal distribution, as one would expect. I'd say that you are an outlier, as you fall into the tail end of the distribution.
