My display has been pretty much spot on. Driving to choke from San Antonio If i'm in a hurry i'm getting 8-10mpg doing 70-75. If i'm taking my time and really working the throttle staying around 55-60 I'm around 13.5 Huge difference. If it wasn't lifted with the big M/T tires I could see 15-16 with the same habits. I'm also wondering about additives in the fuel here in TX. I seem to hear people in other states really talking about getting 19mpg and up.

Bought my wife a 2011 tundra 5.7 love the truck. I'm getting another one soon for me. I pull the boat with her truck 90% of the time because I love it so much.

yes i do, best darn truck i ever owned

My display on my 08 isn't close to be img right when I compare to hand calculations. Im looking at a dmax now cause I spend 600 a month on gas alone. That's more then I pay a truck note for! I've always had bad luck with gas burner trucks.

pull a 22 ft center console with the small v8. does a great job! 12 mpg.

I know this is off topic, but I figured I'd share my MPG with you anyway. 2011 F-250 w/6.2L GAS engine pulling a 2009 ZX250 @ 70mph is 10mpg. If I slow down to 60-65 it will jump up to 11.5 - 12mpg. Not pulling anything I'm getting 16mpg on the highway and anywhere from 11-13mpg in town. I live 2 miles from where I work, but I go through 9 red lights or stop signs so it kills the mileage. Before I had this truck I had a 2007 Chevy Z71 that got about the same mileage pulling, but better when not towing anything. Going from a 1/2 ton to a 3/4 ton was a huge difference when towing something. The boat doesn't push the truck around at all and stopping is extremely better now.

Nobody on this forum would ever do that JR!

LOL!!!

My kid bought a 5.7 Tundra about 2 yrs ago and wishes he had his Ford 150 back. With the Ford you never knew the 20 ft Champion was back there. With the Toyota you had to fight it all the time to keep it from down shifting. He is getting about 11mpg with the Toyota and had about 10mpg with the Ford, but the Ford was much less effort to pull with.

WOW Really? As far as towing goes that's like saying a 737 is faster bigger stronger than a 747. Maybe they accidentally put the Camery motor in your sons Tundra.

Lmao @ camery motor. Toyotas are tough running trucks. But From the looks of it the new ford eco boost v6 is the way to go. But ima chevy man. My 1500HD has the 6.0 and gets 12 mpg without pulling a trailer haha, Im scared to figure out what mpg it is pulling the boat. Maybe one day I can afford a new truck.

Chevy is building a Turbo V6 to compete with Fords. It will probably be next fall before you can even order one tho.

I will tell you one thing tho, the remote start on my Chevy has been pretty handy these last few weeks in the 110 degree heat!

Maybe the 5.7L on the side was just a decoration? All I know is that he's been complaining about it since he bought it. Maybe the difference was in the axle ratio.

I'm waiting for a 4 or 6 cylinder turbo diesel to come out, 1/2ton diesel.

LOL. Yes, the Chevy/GMC 8.1L Big Block V8. 496 Cubic Inches of power. It was the best gas engine made for pulling bar none. However, the only thing it couldn't pass was a gas station!! Too bad they don't make it anymore, people just couldn't afford the gas.

I still think the GM and Ford 6.2L V8s are getter than the Tundra V8. The Tundra makes up for the difference with it's standard 4.30 gears with the 5.7

However, if I was buying a truck to pull the boat (and this will be my next one if they work out), is the Ford F150 Ecoboost V6. Gotta love that 420 ft-lbs at 2000 RPM!! Diesel like! And 20 + MPG empty.

I have an 03 model with the 4.7 I have pulled my boat ( bass tracker type) and gotten 18 mpg before, consitantly in the 14-16 range. used to pull fright with it and would get as low as 12 going 80mph. depends a lot on you drive it, and how it is loaded
