Poll - New 2022 Tundra Owners Please Post Comments on Real World Mileage

My 19 is heavily modified , lockers 5:29 gears, lift, weight etc It gets 11 heavy footed city 19 babying it and staying under 70mph on flat freeways. Not in our high altitude mountains with 10% winter ethanol .

After my Raptor I would expect better fuel mileage on the v6tt in light throttle cruise and stop and go . But with the extra torque the new tundra motor makes if you are a conservative driver you won’t be pushing the gas pedal as hard . But heavy footed drivers like me won’t be buying it for or even calculating gas mileage or looking at gas prices.

 

You can use it all till you run out

 

26 going 60. Just like the 5.7 got lol

 

I get 16.5-17 when I'm riding a mix of the highway and the farm, moreso the highway. Highway only, in eco, 20.5. 20 ft dovetail with a '13 Tacoma on it, 11.5

 

The youtuber “enjoy the ride” has averaged 20.5 mpg for his first 1,300 miles.

 

Anyone put any tires lt tires on yet? Maybe 34 or 35’s and see how it affects it? Probably the fist thing I’m gonna do when I get it and I know I’ll take a hit on mpgs. Im looking at 295/70r18. Although I plan on getting the pro so it being a hybrid may help since it will be using the electric motor to help take off from what I gather.

 

For those reporting mileage I would love to see actual math at the pump, not what the computer is saying. Is that what people are reporting?

 

On one leg the stuckinmud guy got 25mpg hand calculated

 

The leg was 325 miles and his speed was 60 to 65 mph.

 

This is the only guy I have seen doing mpg review with his truck which seems very odd at this point. But he’s getting great fuel mileage.

 

Finally got one of my own. Drove it home averaging about 60 mph. 37 degrees, raining.

 

this guy lives near 44.3894° N, 79.6903° W.
winter weather close to mine so relevant.
video shows 13.8 to low 14.'s liters/100 for mileage.
thats 17 mpg.
he has 1500 kms on the odo.

If he’s anything like me I’m spending more time in my truck idling then actually driving the thing lol.

 

Well, that’s slightly better than my 1st gen Ridgeline economy, maybe equal too if I slowed down , so for me that’s a plus. Winter tires, gas & driving style included maybe even better!

 

According to dash, 16 mpg before wheels and tires, now I'm in the 14s after wheels and tires

 

the 1st gen Ridgeline has a great engine. I used it loaded down all the time and got 12.5 - 13.5 liters/100kms - 2 hours drives back and forth to Haliburton.
My 2.5 gen Tundra with the 5.7 loafs along and it gets the same mileage as the Ridgeline when used for this purpose.
Unbelieveable level of reserve power in comparison.
My sons 4runner and he drives spirited gets 11.5 -12 liters / 100kms. with the 4.0 liter engine.
So I am not impressed with 13-14 liters / 100 kms.
From reports I have seen,
I am pretty sure the way I would use it loaded down going up hills I would get no better than the 13.5 and up liters/100 kms and up.
Its a damn heavy truck much heavier than a Ridgeline and it would be on boost alot.
My truck is not used as a grocery getter, and idling in traffic.

 

What size wheels and tires?

 

the active front air dam is large and was designed at speeds it deploys at to work with the factory tire/wheels for mileage. See how low to the ground it is.
If you have raised the truck with new tires/wheels you can be sure the air dam is not working as designed at those speeds and to the negative now, along with the rolling resistance from the new tires.

 

I got my 22 about three weeks ago and I’ve averaged 19 mpg with mixed driving. That includes warming up the truck for 5-10 min every morning. This last tank was about 17.5 mpg with lots of wind from the cold front we got here in Texas last week. That’s typical for a turbo charged vehicle in my past experiences

 

18" wheels on 33" tires

My truck did not come with the air dam

 

Why is the oil pressure so low?

 

Normal.

 

Who the hell only drives 60 to 65 mph on a highway?

Where I live even rural two lane highways are 65 mph, but everyone drives 70 mph. Divided highways are posted at 70 mph or 80 mph.

 

Where I live free ways are 65 and highways are 55-60 and I like to cruise and milk gas mileage. I’m currently getting around 21.5 going 60 at freezing temps.

 

After I got stopped for speeding for going 65 in a 60, me.

 

The "eco" effect is from driving around in a smaller engine setup, typically less cylinders. The "boost" effect is adding more air so you can burn MORE fuel to make more power when you need it. If your boosting, your not saving gas.

 

Cruising down the highway at 1200 rpms really helps. I can’t do that in my other 6 cylinder .

 

Boost will be basically zero at those RPMs. So efficient cruising.

 

Basically zero? But they are doing something or not? That basically nothing feels like it really helps.

 

They are doing nothing at that RPM. Not the point of turbos.
