    Welcome!
    Best tip I have: get familiar with your local gas station because you are going to wait to drive the Tundra everywhere and they can get pretty thirsty.

    In all seriousness, I don't think there is too much obvious stuff to do to break these trucks in. I was told basically to go and enjoy it, about the only break in limitation was not to drive it I stole it for the first couple hundred miles. Once it has sort of settled in, drive it however you like.

    Just noticed we have the same model/package.
    I am only a couple tanks through mine but with a mix of city and highway I am solidly in the 16-18 range.

    Nice truck!! Just drive normal, no heavy towing for a while, change you oil and filter in 5k then every 10k if you go for the recommended 10k changes. maybe drain and refill rear diff at 10k. I'm thinking of doing my rear diff soon, I'm at 35k and it's never been done but not due for a while, its cheap and easy too.
