Ive been shopping for Tundras all day instead of working. I wouldn't look at the current Tundra. IMO you should wait and see what the next remodel looks like. From what I can tell thats 2 years away.

IF you want a deal on a Tundra call Jeff Morris at Freeman Toyota in Hurst. He's the sales manager. Tell him Kelly Denham sent you. He will make it easy!

I had one for about a year before I had enough. I have a hard time believing anyone saying they are getting 15+. I calculated mine at the pump not by what the truck said. I never got better than 12mpg. Towing I got between 7-9 depending on wind. The truck drove great but the small fuel tank and MPG was to much for me. Back in a diesel and dont plan to go back to gas anytime soon.

Buda's Tundra has a 20 gal tank with the 5.7.

The 38 gal tank is what Ive noticed on all Ive looked at today.

I think they have changed it on the newest models. If i'm gonna drive a gas hog it better have a huge gas tank. Don't get me wrong though, it will jerk the axles out from under a bassboat.

Since the redesign of the Tundra in 07, the standard gas tank has been 26.4 gal with an auxiliary option that raises that to 38 gal.

I have the 5.7L V-8 BEAST with a 20 gal tank and get 300 miles out of a tank. That drops to about 220 - 230 towing. I didnt buy it for fuel mileage, this truck tows like a 7.3 Power Stroke and stops just as good if not better. They are super roomy inside, even for a fat boy. She likes to get up and go thats for sure, a little pedal is all it takes.

I know I dont have 26.4, with the gauge on E I've never been able to pack more than 20.5... hard to imagine there being another 5 gallons after the fuel light came on and I ran it down to the E.

Just because the guage says empty and you never put more than 20 gallons in doesn't mean you have a 20 gallon tank. By that login our Duramax has a 17 gallon tank, yours like ours is just out of calibration when you fill up you have 6 gallons left. Oh and lol on the it tows like a 7.3 too.
