New and need some guidance

hello, my name is Justin and I just purchased a used 2016 tundra xp 5.7 ffv tundra.
I have a few questions and the search function hasn’t really yielded much info that made sense to me or was useful.

I tow with my trucks (Tacoma before) and I like to monitor trans temps and have a scangauge.
Only one code works for my truck that is supplied on the site so now I am hunting to see if there is another like my taco where it had 2 sensors one for fluid and other in the pan/converter temp.

I also understand that tundras don’t win gas saver awards, but my average is at 13.7 mpg. I have read about flashing the truck but is my mileage normal?

 

Good morning and welcome Justin.
I can't help you with the trans issue, but my MPG is 13.76 after 36 refuels.
Some people get better mileage and I've heard of worse.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Thanks, I am planning on this being a 10 year vehicle so I want to take any and all precautions

 

I'd be happy w 13.7. I'm currently at 10.0

Welcome from NC!

 

I’m in NorCal so we have pretty flat ground out in the valley and 90% of our highways are maxed at 65mpg so keep this in mind......I rarely take my truck on long highway trips unless it’s hunting season or I’m visiting family three hours away. So, I’m normally averaging 14.5-14.8 around town running errands and what not. Normal highway mileage if I reset right after a fill up and jump on the highway is about 18-18.5 and I normally keep it around 70 mph unless I’m passing. The best highway average was 19.0 and that was driving 68 mpg on a three hour road trip with the A/C on too. Hope this helps.

Same truck, same location (Modesto) and regrettably same mileage. Lol.
Welcome to the site.

I think we had this conversation last year with a couple of members. A guys scan guage 757 had pan temp too.

Welcome from Texas

 

Welcome from CO! mpg>>>>10.7

 

Welcome from Ca. MPG doesn't sound too bad.

 

Welcome from AZ

 

take that 13.7 and run! and Welcome to the site!

 

Get a new truck and people ask you to help move. My fuel average has gone up some so I guess it is “learning me”

 

I entered in the codes and they are both reading. Thanks.
This thing runs hot compared to my taco. I hit 205 just going up 421 to Boone NC. Next step is to connect another trans cooler like I did in my Taco.

 

Welcome to the party!!

Welcome from SoCal. I've never seen an "XP" before. Did the seller mention what that is?

 

Blacked out wheels, nitto grapplers, tinted windows, pretty much it
