Does the new Tundra improve on these metrics?

I'm actually curious how much better these scores are on the new truck. Not sure why, I'm obviously not that concerned or I'd never have bought one. But I figure these along with mpg are targets for going away from a V8.

 

Fuel economy is directly proportional to CO2 emissions. The new Tundra has overall better fuel economy so it will have lower CO2 emissions per mile and therefore a lower score.

 

I figured it would be better, wasn't sure how much. Kinda surprised the smog number didn't bump up by at least 1.

Thanks for digging that up.

 

Well they’re both ULEV 70. Ford F150 is ULEV 50 and it only goes up 1 point to 6. A Prius for example is SULEV 30 and that is up 2 points at 7. The only way to get 10 is to be a zero emissions vehicle like a Tesla.

 

I wouldn't worry to much, since nobody will probably be driving pretty soon at these gas prices. And considering the real world numbers being posted here, it look like it hasn't improved much. Kinda reminds me of a certain V6TT that promised high MPG when it first came out.
