I've not owned a Tundra yet, but know several who have owned several. When I talk to them about their trucks, they never have any complaints except the MPG on the 5.7L models. They seem to be rather solid overall, just somewhat thirsty. The 4.0L Tacomas are much the same.

Have found none of the mpg results compiled by the car company on board computers are accurate.
Do it the right way by dividing miles driven on a tank by gallons needed to fill it again and you will get true mpg.
. Mine says 14.5-15. Is mine wrong too?

Weird, tundra or domestic?
My tundra is pretty darn accurate on the MPG readout. I log all my data in Fuelly so I know the actual of each tank. A lot of Boomers are amazed to discover that a computer can do the math for you.

No offense, but is this what you call 'highway" mileage? I could get my old 1999 dodge with 318 gas guzzler up to that if I went that slow too. Guess everyone's definition of highway is different.
Bring it on the interstate at 70 and let us know how it is then. Like I said, if it still gets 24-25mpg put it in the Smithsonian.

Post a printout of your average speed. Door to door.

While I'm no fan of Toyota trucks, my brother loves them. He used to crew an AC 130 and he said that they blow up really good. ![[Linked Image from cdn.carbuzz.com]](https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/original/235000/200/235258.jpg)

. My 4Runner is generally within +/- .2mpg of what it says, often within .1mpg. Been using an app to keep track over these 30k miles. Overall 21.4 mpg using the app (odometer, gallons, price). The Tundra I had was almost always .8mpg lower than what the truck claimed it was getting.

Toyota Tundra is a very good looking truck.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I've owned multiples of all of 'em.....1/2T gassers with the exception of Dodge. The current F150's, Silverados, and Sierras run circles around any Tundra we've ever owned. Ain't even close, and before you say it, they've been just as reliable, many with over 200k, ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5BaSalKx09M/VxZ1cMDr9zI/AAAAAAAAI94/f7Jx5QF1_W8HQXlnbVrFwVQQm8NGgogYACLcB/s400/ran.jpg) Looks like JG at it again...

I'm driving my 2002 V-8 Tundra for 18yrs now.Zero major issues at 210K miles now and still gets 24-25miles per gallon on the highway..Still a great truck.Clear coat paint is flaking a little now.Never thought I'd drive one that long and was offered 6k cash for it.That is one good thing about the Toyotas,they have great resale value too. No dog in this fight, but I know several owners. If the bold above is true, it belongs in the Smithsonian. Great trucks, but they refuse to pass up a gas station. Clyde Yeah, I highly doubt it's getting that kind of mileage. Mine averages 19mpg on highway trips.. That's actually better than my damn v6 Taco too... OK for the non-believers,this work for you? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/VL4Lg4KW/IMG-0433.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/9XdfRcTS/IMG-0429.jpg) No offense, but is this what you call 'highway" mileage?

I based my MPG on recent trips to Reno from my house (500 miles one way). Plenty of hills to climb and a lot of windy roads. 65-70 MPH... Not just flat freeway driving at 48 MPH on a downhill slope with the wind to my back....

Toyotas aren't very common here for some reason. I'm not implying they are not a good truck just a general observation.

We have had our Tundra for a little over 7 years and 225,000 miles, and it has made multiple trips to the Austin/San Antonio area of Texas each year, as well as a couple of trips to northwestern Colorado each year. Both destinations are 750+ miles one-way.
Trips to Texas are almost all interstate highway, and 80 mph is the normal cruising speed. The Colorado trips include maybe a couple hundred miles of interstate, but most of our route consists of a mix of state and federal highways with posted speed limits ranging from 55 to 70 mph. I rarely drive less than 5 mph over the posted speed limit, and my wife regularly exceeds that, especially on remote stretches where the posted speed limit is 55.
Long term highway mileage has averaged right around 17.5 mpg.

mudhen, that is a 4x4 with stock-sized tires? 17.5mpg isn't awful in those conditions.

My 2000 4x4 V-8 with work shell gets 11-12 mpg around town.
