My 2016 gets12 mpg but I drive very aggressive, 90 mph on highway. My 2010 gets 15 mpg but it's only leveled, not lifted. Smaller tires as well.

 

Are you in Canada or the U.S.?

 

T-Guy69, why not find a dealer that has the truck you want and can give you a decent discount. When I was shopping for my Tundra my local dealership was only going to allow $1500 off MSRP which was the factory incentive at the time. I went online and found another dealer nearby that had a Platinum in the best color (white) and would take $5500 off MSRP. The entire transaction was done via email and text. Super smooth.

I did. And I'm funny in that when I make a long term purchase, I want what I want. I cannot find anything with the options I want. The dealer looked too. It would have been easy for him to find a Tundra at another local dealer. You got a Platinum in YOUR best color (white). I have never purchased a car that wasn't black. I have a Corolla XRS that I had to get from Topeka, Kansas (I live on Long Island) because it was the only acceptable car in BLACK.

 

If price is important to you and you are willing to compromise on features/options good deals can be found. This thread has some good advice and is pretty much how I got my 2019 Tundra.

If you are hell bent on an exact set of options that are hard to find, you will sacrifice negotiating leverage - it’s that simple. 2019s have some really good pricing now.

I know you said CrewMax but Double Cabs have better towing and payload ratings and (at least for me) get better MPGs... I get about 14-15 mpg in city and 18 mpg on highway (5.7L, 4WD Double Cab). I did a quick search and found several 2019 Double Cabs in BLACK SR5 Upgrade and Convenience pkg, and TRD Off-road pkg.

Good luck - I hope you find what you want.
