    So this past weekend I traded my 2014 Tundra Crewmax TRD Off Road, did leveling kit, tires and a topper. I was getting around 15.5 mpg with it. My new 2018 Crewmax TRD Off Road with NO upgrades, I'm getting 12 mpg. I know Tundras aren't known for mileage but jesus...Why the shitty mileage?IMG_9867.jpge%lv2q+jSrScxzKr3eSP+g.jpg

    I have a 2018 SR5 CM with topper. I get around 15.5 to 16.5 depending on fuel (ethanol vs non-ethanol). How many miles are on the truck? It took about 3K to settle on these #s.

    I see now. Haha. Not sure why you are getting that. Driving habits maybe. I get 17 to 18 in my 2018. Daily driver, back roads and some city.

    Welcome from NC! Keep your foot off the gas! I am getting a little better than 18.5 mpg but I also never get above 2,000 rpms as I am babying it.

    @shawn.roe24 , I just hit 300 miles on the truck. My habits are pretty normal, set cruise at 60, all highway miles. I keep going to the ECO screen and I hit between 17 & 22 mpg, but it keeps telling me the tank average is 12.3

    Mine did the same thing. Then after I hit around 2K it reset itself (not sure how or why) and I have been averaging around 16 ever since. I did hand calc it once and came out to 15.3 as I dont baby it. Damn that tow haul mode but its close enough for me. Maybe a software issue or dealership can reset it for you?

    @RonW, no sitting idle.. I'm a highway maintainer, so I'm in it, drive to work and park it. 60 miles round trip, heres another interesting question. I called the dealership today and they said I can't have OEM remote start added, any recommendations for after market ones?

    Welcome. It takes the ECU time to learn it and adjust accordingly.

    Welcome from Arizona. Were you driving on the same roads / route for the comparison? It makes a big difference on the mileage in my truck - state roads cruising at 50 I get over 18 MPG. Interstate at 75 drops to 15 MPG and around town its about 13.

    That’s odd. My dealer added OEM remote start. $660 but well worth it!!

    I have an '18 CM TRD OR and it took about 2k before the millage settled down into the normal range 15-16 MPG. I really think it has something to do with the learning program on the truck. My range used to say 330 when I filled up, but now it is saying 335. SO it adjusts itself with time. keep driving and it will learn. Also, I found my MPG is better when I do not use cruise control.
