What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Used to own a personal training studio where we lined the whole gym floor with these... Can confirm!! Work great and will hold up to anything you throw at it!

 

May I ask what your mpg was?

I don't think my 9.5 mpg is bad at all . I don't get much north of 65 mph.

 

I don't remember what tire size you're running, but if you're in the 34-35" range re-gearing to 5.29s will significantly help the drop in mileage while towing ... Watch for the group buy that @kyle11863 posts up periodically; great pricing w/a shop that does a bunch out of CA!

 

You tow a fifth wheel with a tundra?

 

I just think of the fuel costs as dealer repellent.

 

Just went to a 295/70/18. Is 5.29s the popular choice for gears? I definitely feel a difference, I’m not currently towing but I’d like to regear at some point

 

guy I work with tows a fifth wheel with his tundra too. he talked about it but I didn't really believe it til I looked in his truck

 

It varied from low to mid 9's which is what I expected. I don't have exact numbers, but truck was about 6800lbs, trailer was about 5000lbs. Running 285/75/17 with SABM and Banks PM set to S2. Kept the speedo around 70mph most of the trip...up to 75+ in a few sections.

 

Been doing it for 7 years.

 

Tons of discussion about towing capacity vs. Gvwr and payload here.

I don't know your numbers, but I have yet to see anyone use a 5th wheel on a Tundra and be within their trucks safety specifications.

 

Picker up my new ride: 2020 SR5 in Cement, 52k miles.

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

Welcome! Love that color.

 

When I went from 285/70's to 295/70's, mine was gear hunting and I could feel it. It went away once I installed the speedometer calibrator.

 

Been putting this off for long enough. Pull rear seats, strip katskins, install heaters, reinstall katskins, reinstall seats, run wire, flip switch. Done and done.

 

You put seat heaters in the rear?

 

What speedo calibrator are you running?

 

Hypertech part # 730119

 

Oh that’s interesting, so it actually corrects the ecu for the new tire size. I was thinking you meant something like a pedal commander.

 

Yep. Kids these days have no idea how good they have it.
I have an adult back there on a regulat basis. Sometimes it's my 73 y/o dad. After a long day fishimg or a cold morning heading out I'm sure he will appreciate it too

 

I have the Proclip mount, I like it a lot. Doesn't block the vent at all, and close to line of vision without being too high blocking windshield view.

Sunday drive in a dirty truck in the Texas dirt.

 

Hidden falls?

 

I think we were on Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge property, accessed from Cow Creek Rd. We kicked dust a few miles in, parked, and went for a hike across open land occasionally bounded by barbed wire, live oak and cedar juniper. Dogs had a blast flushing jack rabbits. Then, when we decided to return to the truck, we couldn't find it. No cell service = no maps/satellite views. Then one more circle around one more stand of trees and cactus, and there she was

 

We did drive past Hidden Falls on the way back home, though. Plan to go there soon

 

I just installed mine yesterday. I have been using one in my RAV4 for a while now. Great quality but a little pricey. I didn’t mind the price considering the detail that goes it them.

Them are not a one size fits many vehicles product…

 

Finally got the Victory 4x4 center console mount and RG mud flaps powder coated and installed, along with a Expedition Essentials phone mount!! It took some trimming and a DIY aluminum bracket to get the 2 center consoles to play nicely with each other but it turned out great. Solid as a rock.

 

One of the people on a tundra Facebook group put me onto a dealer discount for parts. I figured I'd check it out. Ended up sticking up on oil filters & for what was left that I needed for my TC & F&R dif fluid changes this spring. Great discount! Check it out! Not sure how much time is left for the discount and free shipping

 

Oh shiet...

 

Install scheduled starting tomorrow AM….can’t wait!!
