    Hey guys,

    I got a fuel economy question....

    I have a 2016 tundra limited 5.8 liter 4x4 crew cab and currently it's lifted on a 3" leveling kit, 18" wheels on 35s, mid rise ARE camper shell with two Prinsu Racks, ROAM awning and a 10' long rod holder tube I made. The inside of my truck bed has about 200lbs of material I built for storage and sleeping.

    I'm currently getting 8mph average fuel economy which other Tundra owners that overland say that's oddly low for what I have. I have a buddy with a similar setup that's averaging about 10.5mph fuel economy.

    Other than regear...is there any other solution(s) I can do to increase my fuel economy or possibly fix an issue that may be causing this?

    Btw I also tow a bass boat so just imagine when that's hooked up what my fuel economy is then...

    Thanks guys!!

    How do you drive?
    Is this hand calculated or the computer on the dash?

    How many thread are you gonna make about this? Your poor fuel economy has mostly to do with driving habits and in your case a lot to do with your trucks setup. Literally every mod you’ve made have stolen your fuel economy. The answer is drive better and take all that crap off your truck. Or, keep on trucking and deal with the mpg. Gotta pay to play.
