Ditch Sport Mode

This and a 12 volt pump would be the next level for sure, problem is where the Hell to store it

 

Why not just go with the 105 Octane Race Fuel Sunoco has, lol. Its unleaded…

 

My SR5 has tow/tow+

 

you were wrong dude, my platinum has tow+ too, heheh

 

Thank you for this, I am now driving in Sport Mode, and getting 3 more miles to the gallon. Does running in Tow + get better gas mileage than Sport Mode? If so I'm gonna have to change again. LOL.

 

It will learn your driving habits.
Tow+ for a bit will keep you in a lower gear than usual.
Cruising it will eventually upshift to 8-10 at 70mph. Sport and tow+ are my usual.

 

How does Soort Mode increase mpg, makes no sense…

 

Makes no sense to me either, but I drove about an hour today and after reading this thread, I reset my MPG and ran the same trip I have run numerous times and my MPG increased from 14 in normal to 17 in sport. Needless to say, I'll be driving in Sport Mode on the regular.

 

No kidding, though i wish you didnt have to move the selector every time. I drive ALOT, and constantly same trips week after week, will be testing it.

 

I recently went on a 2,200 mile trip. I have had my truck for about a year and it consistently got anywhere from 14-15. Mostly city driving. After I got back from the trip, I am getting between 17 and 18 city.

 

For me, I get worse MPG city driving in Eco. Engine is constantly out of powerband and lugging out. Sport does better mpg, and drives far better.

I do use ECO while cruising on the freeway, assuming its flat ground.

 

I prefer sport over tow+. Tow+ is a little faster but I prefer the lower rpm power band of the sport mode. Tow+ is high rpm, I like the higher torque lower rpm push in the seat from sport

 

Tow+ is also great for any long stretches of downgrades

 

Old news.

 

Speaking of tow haul mode. Was driving on a highway today coming home from work, gave a little bit of gas, next thing I know the truck starts beeping. The engine has shut off and to pull over. Luckily, I was able to coast till the end of the highway and turn into a parking lot. 2023 Tundra limited, almost 30K miles. is on the list for engine replacement but haven’t gotten to replacing it yet. First time having issues with it. When I tried to start it back up after it died, it struggled for a second to turn over, but started back up. I’m due to drive it to Virginia from Philly towing an RV tomorrow, should be fun.
