Drive it like I stole it!Originally posted by Antlers86 View PostI run 35s on my 5.0 crew cab. I get 17 on long hwy trips and 14-15 in town. I did get 19mpg on a 12 hr drive to Georgia.
Make sure you get a large fuel tank and not the small one unless you don't make long trips.Originally posted by tps7742 View PostI 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.Originally posted by cbd10pt View PostTundras is a tougher truck.
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 tundraOriginally posted by npe001 View PostI have a 13 Tundra and will never go back to Ford. Who buys a truck and says "I got this for the gas mileage" ???? If you want MPG get a Prius. I was getting 17 in my F150 and get 16-17 daily in my Tundra.Originally posted by Derrik View Post2016 tundra with 35’s. Getting around 14 combined driving. New 38 gallon tank is nice. 2nd tundra with no problemsOriginally posted by El Paisano View PostTundra 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.Originally posted by chuckc. View Post2017 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).Originally posted by TxBowHntr View PostI have 2014 Tundra CM 4x4 with the 5.7 and I get 13.5 in the city and around 16 hwy (per the dash read-out). Everything is stock on my truck. 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.Originally posted by bphillips View PostTundra 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.Originally posted by TX CHICKEN View PostOn my second Tundra and the only other truck I owned was Chevy and it was a pos. I have the 2014 4x4 5.7 with a 3/2 leveling kit and 285’s. I get 14-16 and pulling my 19’ Bluewave I get 8-9. Love my Tundra and never had an issue with the 2 I have owned.

Toyota being built “stronger” than Ford is like most internet stats...made up.
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.

Originally posted by WItoTX View PostSo 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.
