Poll - New 2022 Tundra Owners Please Post Comments on Real World Mileage

I gotta say I was neutral on the looks of the 2022, but that picture of that trim model (whatever it is) in that color, in that lighting, from that angle is just downright ugly IMO. And 99% of that ugliness is found in the front end. The other 1% is the fender flares/trim or whatever those black pieces are called. Not a good look at all.

 

My onboard readout is showing 13.2L/100km (17.8mpg) over 600km of mixed use. I'd guess it's a close split of 50% highway cruising and 50% city / traffic jam / auto start warmup.

I'll do an actual calculation when I fill up next week.
Also I'm only on my second tank, but I'd say this tank's useage represents my normal use quite well.

 

We will see if the numbers start reversing with warmer March weather.

I get 14.3 mixed use over 700 miles. That’s as real word as is gets.

 

16.1 mpg with 275/70r18 mud tires, no leveling kit. That’s with 80 mile round trips including stop and go and warm ups from the Texas ice

 

All mileage is as real world as it gets.

 

I checked my math yesterday at fill up and the truck computer was bang on. Readout was 13.4 L/100km over 707km of driving. Filled up with 94L and it calculated to 13.45 L/100km. This is about 17.5mpg.

A little less than expected, but it is a cold winter, I idle and warm up every time, and the truck may still be breaking in.

For reference, my F150 5.0V8 averaged about the same in the same conditions and weekly commuting routine.

 

End of a 30 ish mile drive today. Best I’ve gotten.

most of my tanks end up in the high 19s with city and hwy driving.

it has seemed to get better as it’s broken in and getting warmer.

I’d agree…2,500 miles in and warmer weather. Just had my first 19+ mpg tank. All prior tanks were between 18.3 and 18.8.

This gives me hope I get 14 mixed driving if I’m lucky

 

12mpg average with 110 miles on the truck. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.. not even accelerating hard.

 

On a 22?

 

Hi @Vin63 this thread is for the Gen 3 Tundra.

However I recommend you go to the meter display on the center console of your Gen 2.5 and select Total Average. The trip average number I find pretty useless especially for short runs.

Also see this thread for tips on how to get 18-20 mpg with the V8.

Just did a 500 mile trip 75-80 mph averaged 17 mpg. 1794 4x4 short box.

 

yeah I have a 22 tundra. Never updated my account. Thanks for the tip, I’ll check if I was on total average

 

well.. what am i doing wrong hah...

 

Third tank got 16.4 on the computer, 16.8 manually calculated. I’m curious to see how much better I can get without using remote start now that it’s warming up into the 60’s/70’s.

 

Here are my results from a recent road trip driving on a mix of highways, arterials, local roads, and over smaller mountain passes. I was cautious not to accelerate hard or harshly brake during the trip. I also wouldn't have gone faster than 60mph during the trip.

 

22 limited 4x4 CM SB. just broke 2000 miles and it seems to be getting better. i drove back home to NC from Ohio when i bought it new and averaged 18.5 running 80 MPH most of the way. Just drove another 200 miles to Myrtle beach, SC and i was averaging 20-21. if i keep it around 60MPH it will get 22-23 on the highway. 75 mph and up is around 20.

 

I am glad this thread exists. I am not sure what's going on, but I am only managing 16.7 - 16.9 mpg in my first week of commuting. I drive 25 miles each way to work (20 miles of it highway). Cruise Control set to 80 MPH. In ECO mode with stock tires. I have a 2022 1794 with 6.5 foot bed.

 

80 seems pretty fast to expect any better mileage than that from a pickup truck. It's about as aero as a brick.

 

TBH that is not very good mileage. At an average of 45mph, my 2020 gets that if I am easy on it and driving like a grandpa.

 

The answer to that is 100 percent NO

 

Platinum model here.

OEM wheels and tires:
Average = 18/19 MPG
Highway = 21 MPG

OEM wheels, with 285/60/20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT tires (present setup):
Average = 15 MPG
Highway = unchecked yet

-99

 

When I first bought it I was averaging around 16-17 mixed. I’m at 3000 miles now and it has gotten better. Averaging 18-19 now. Stock limited 5.5. We’ll see if it continues.

a lot of people need to Realize that using remote start and the slightest bad driving habits can make it a huge difference. At the end of the day the EPA is full of $hit either way

 

Maybe down a hill with wind at your back lol

 

this car and driver article goes deep into details on the EPA testing. They’ve been giving false numbers forever. Not sure of the accuracy of this article but just thought I’d share.

“While the public mistakenly presumes that this federal agency is hard at work conducting complicated tests on every new model of truck, van, car, and SUV, in reality, just 18 of the EPA’s 17,000 employees work in the automobile-testing department in Ann Arbor, Michigan, examining 200 to 250 vehicles a year, or roughly 15 percent of new models. As to that other 85 percent, the EPA takes automakers at their word—without any testing—accepting submitted results as accurate”
