    No leveling kit or lift kit. Sitting on 18” wheels, 275/70R18 tires. Everything original.
    I average about 12.5 mpg on my 2014 Toyota Tundra Crewmax 4x4 5.7L V8. Not really disappointed in it just trying to see if there’s any ways to improve it.

    Tire pressure and conservative use of throttle.

    Yes...I get 13..6 city, and 18 hw. Conservative throttle input, brake less, and stayed between 65-70 on the highway.

    You know what the secret is? Keep it completely stock, follow the speed limit like a drunk fucktard late at night trying to avoid a DUI. Not even joking, that’s the best way to improve fuel economy. Keep the tires from the factory, and everything else....factory

    remove the hood,fenders, bumpers,bed, doors and take out the ENTIRE interior (sit on milk crate) and you should get about 25MPG in the city...:devil::D:eek2:

    Not many yet, mostly stock.
    I owned a truck in the late 80 with V8, granted it was not a crewmax cab nor 4X4 but it was heavy metal truck that got better gas mileage than my Tundra.

    Later in life bought an 04 150 supercrew highly modified, 22” wheel, again not 4X4, 5.4 motor, got better gas mileage.

    Now keep getting older( dang it) got the best truck I felt for the $ cosmically modified With stock engine, drive train.. added TRD air box, 20”wheels added a steel bumper, soon new sliders/ steps and skids, I’m guessing my mileage will be even lower. I’m in the same boat with all of you.
    What’s the answer to this issue, supercharger, turbo, gears more gears in a transmission or bone stocker...

    I can’t even amagin towing a trailer as many of you do.
    Thank god my work is only 15 minuets from home.... chugging along...still love my Tundra
