    New member as of today, but as of yet, not a Tundra owner. Certainly not new to Toyota's though. I have owned 1- Corolla, 2-(Pre-Tacoma) trucks, 2 Camry's, and 3-4Runners. Currently own a 2007 4Runner with 224K and a 2013 4Runner with about 95k.

    Anyway, I have had the itch to get a Tundra for a few years now and recently bought a 19' boat that i need to pull. The 2013 4Runner is rated to handle it, but would like to get a Tundra 5.7 to pull her. I'm really interested to lean more about the FFV engines as the only thing that I dont care for is the Tundras poor MPG. Also, pros and cons of lift and leveling kits.

    Looking forward to exchanging and learning.
    Thanks

    Welcome from NY.

    I wouldn't worry about MPG's with the Tundra your getting Reliability.
    Good luck with your decision.

    Welcome from Florida!

    MPG, is not the greatest, but you'll get used of it. You just have to drive conservatively.

    Lift or level. Depends on the tire and wheel combo your wanting to install.

    OEM wheels with 275.65.18 with no mods. 275.70 or 285.65 2" level. 295.65/70 delete mud guards front and rear + wheel spacer. And it goes on.

    Btw. I was not planning on doing too much with my truck until I started hanging out here. This site is a the best marketing tool.

    Yes it is!! And just for this weekend I'll be a Seahawks fan LOL.
    As others have mentioned, gas mileage isn't anything to write home about. Alot depends on the mods you do. I'm leveled and on LT275/70/18's and on winter blend fuel I'm averaging 15.2. It could certainly be better but to me it's really not bad and in spring when we're back to summer blend fuel and nicer temps I'll be back up around 17+. The Tundra is a big, heavy truck with a bit of a drinking problem and the aerodynamics of a brick but I wouldn't trade mine for anything else... except maybe a TRD Pro.

    Whatever setup I do, I don't plan to go more than 2.5 or 3". The wife would need a step ladder to get in, lol....hmmm come to think of it...I have been looking at some setups on a sight called Custom Offsets that have a nice gallery to get ideas of how the different combos look.

    As for mileage, I can live with 15+...even my 4Runnner's rarely break 20. Its when is hear of 12-13 that makes a lump in my throat.
