    I am in the process of purchasing a 2024 Tundra! Down to a choice between a Stock 1794 or a Limited with a TRD off-road package and 3" factory lift. Both have the i-Force Max engine.

    This will be a daily driver with some long road trips back home to MN. How much loss of fuel efficiency will I have with the lifted version? Also, will there be a noticeable loss of comfort/ride quality for the longer trips with the lifted TRD version? Or any other general thoughts?

    Welcome aboard. Browse around the forums and you'll see everyone's first hand experience with this. Cliff's notes: The lift and / or bigger tires will severely affect the fuel efficiency. It's not a 1-2mpg penalty, it's bigger, and the faster you drive, the worse it gets.

    Well based on this and other comments in other forums I decided to go with the 1794 with the i-Force MAX. I could handle a 1- MPG change, but I's seeing some people saying as much as 8 MPG loss.
