    I got a 17 2.7 Eco on 35's and get 16MPG city. The eco would outrun a v8 on stock tires all day long.

      Make sure you get a large fuel tank and not the small one unless you don't make long trips.

      I have a 2012, when new it did get 13 to 14 mpg, after 30k miles 15 to 16 mpg consistently is no problem. It’s a 2wd crew max with a5.7L. Now if you are pulling anything don’t ask.

      Actual mileage hand calculated is 14-16 in town -stock 4x4
      17-18 on highway

      13 if you are running 90
      Drops about 1 mpg with a level and 34s
      5.0 ford gets about 2mpg better than stock tundra

      Tundra here. My '13 5.7 with 4.10 diff and all the towing stuff gets 16-17 unloaded as fast as I want to drive. Don't know what it gets pulling a trailer and don't care. It will pull.

      2017 TSS 4wd, 5.7, get 15 -16 mpg unless pulling a trailer. I do drive the speed limit which seems to be the exception now days. Not a hater of other vehicles , just have have enjoyed excellent quality with all the toyotas we have owned. ( Camry , four runner, two Tundras, FJ and Tacoma).

I can tell you there has been zero issues with my truck. My father had a 2011 Tundra CM 4x4 with the 5.7 and it was never in the shop except for routine maintenance. It had 260K miles on it when he passed it down to my brother and bought a new one. Brother has been driving it for 8 months, and still no issues. I personally don't have experience with the Fords, but if you do some research, the Toyotas hold their value very well.

      Tundra for me. Mileage is 16-18 unless it got a load on it then it drinks. I didn’t buy it for fuel mileage though.

      My '08 with a 3-1 levelling kit and 35s got 13.5 city and 17 hwy for 150,000 miles before I traded it in.

        My 17 tundra 4x4 Stock gets 19.8 highway at 70 mph, and 14.5 combined city/highway. 11.5 pulling a 20 champion bass boat with a 300 Yamaha at 80mph. To fork and back.

          Tundra here. I had a older ford and could of bought a new truck for what I spent to keep it running, but I did get almost 300k out of it. tundra wins hands down with power.. I have the grade version and it is just as nice as my lariat. If I had to pick again, tundra again!!!

              I have been known to lie. My 30yo son still believes I once killed a tiger with a rubber band and paperclip

                Toyota being built “stronger” than Ford is like most internet stats...made up.
                So when the Tundra originally came out, Toyota was going to keep the T100 they had. That was to be the "half ton" version of their trucks. The Tundra was originally slated to be called the T150, but there were issues with Ford and the F-150 and copyrights. This T-150 was to be a 3/4 ton truck. The whole thing was designed to 3/4 ton specs.

                With the fallout of the T150 due to the Ford issues, Toyota killed the T100, and revamped the Tundra as a half ton. I also think they realized there wasn't near as much money in the 3/4 ton market.

                All this story I got from a friend who is a design engineer with Toyota. If I am wrong, I am all ears to hear the full story.

                  That explains why they get 3/4ton gasser fuel mileage. They just pulled a couple leaf springs out.

                      I am surprised on all these low mpg numbers on gas.
                      I get 16 mpg to and from work and 11.9 mpg towing in my Ford 6.7.

                      I had an 08 Tundra before and got 7-9 mpg when towing. Had awesome power though.

                        Hate to tell you Traildust, Tundras are assembled in the Great U.S.A. Like Ford and the rest but lots of parts made out of the U.S.A. My Tundra was made here in San Antonio TX.

                            Didn't realize TBH had so many dishonest Tundra owners.
                            Haha seriously. I don't drive like an old lady and I average a little over 15 highway/city. Not great, but not 8-10.
