New member from Louisiana - Toyota Convert!

Greetings, all! I’m a new member from central Louisiana. I just purchased a new 2024 Tundra iFORCE MAX 1794 Edition in Magnetic Gray Metallic. Dealer-installed a 3” lift kit and LT296/65R20” Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

This is my first Tundra after 18 years of GMC Sierras. I traded in my 2023 Sierra SLT that I just never was happy with. It had a 6.2L V8 that got 17 mpg on premium fuel. Before the tires were put on the Tundra, I was getting 21 mpg on regular, though I’m sure I’ll lose a bit. But just on fuel economy alone, I’ll save about $1800/year.

Better fuel economy and 17 more hp and 127 ft-lb gains? Sign me up!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Welcome aboard, beautiful truck.

 

You're not going to get anywhere near 17mpg. I have the same truck, same lift, same tires...I average 13mpg.

I'm in Louisiana too....welcome aboard!

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Welcome from West MO

 

Welcome from TX! Did you nab a good deal on it?

 

$6K off MSRP combined between markdown and cash from Toyota. About $2K more on trade in than my numbers showed. So, I was pleased with it.

 

Thanks. So far (about 65 miles) with the lift, fuel economy is about 19.4 when corrected for the tire size difference.

 

That's a fair amount off MSRP. I've always heard about getting better deals across the border.......

 

What brand lift kit did the dealer install?

 

The dealer is an authorized Rough Country dealer. We went through the costs and features on the TRD kit and the RC kit and I researched both quite a bit online. With them being an authorized dealer, they can warrant the work for 3/36 either way. I decided the almost $3k difference was worth going with the RC kit. They didn’t push either way and said they would do whichever kit I wanted.

 

Does your truck have the Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension and AVS? I can only find a kit from ReadyLIFT for these options.

 

Nope. It does not.

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks! Seams ReadyLIFT is my only option.
