Fuel mileage

13 mpg’s

 

That’s what I’m getting according to the dash computer.
Magnuson supercharger
265/75r16
C4 hybrid Bumper winch and lights
Sliders
Front skid
GFC camper
Goal zero 1000x and 42L fridge in back
Camping and recovery tools in bed (100ish lbs)
one up HD dual bike rack
I try not to rev up past 2500 rpm but sometimes it’s too fun not to. I try to keep it at 70mph( 1800 rpm on flat ground) on the freeway
If I can do do the above and remain calm at every street light I’ll get 16.5 mph

 

Yes! Stock tires I was able to get 22-23 highway about 65 mph. Once I added heavier or bigger tires mpg goes down. Adding anything else will make it go down. Driving over 70 makes it go down.

A trick I learned was set cruise behind a fast semi truck and you can get 23-27 mpg from drafting.

 

17-18 city, usually over 20 highway no matter what. Averaged 23 on a 3500 mile roadtrip this summer loaded down with a camper shell, rack, awning, bed drawers, a big fridge, and all my other camping gear.

 

YUP! works if you snug in close...
You get even better MPG if you shoot a magnetic winch grapple to the truck...james bond style...

 

Changed to Michelin tires today and everything feels better.

Coasts nice, its quite and my mpg is back up.

Will see how they do in Utah snow and ice fishing.

 

Defenders? I ran 2 sets of those on my last truck...Got 90K on the first set...and was at 65K on the next set with plenty of life when I sold the truck. EXCELLENT in the snow and a lot of tread life if you take care...

 

I traded my Tacoma for a Lexus NX350 a few days before Christmas. These are the last fuel economy estimates from the truck over 94k miles. It was mostly driven in town, on shorter (10-30 minute) highway trips for over half of the miles. I try to coast to a stop when no one is behind me, and drive 61-65 on the highway. Typical old man.




it was a good truck. It will be good for someone for a long time.

 

how do you like the super charger??? Did you also get the OTT tune???

 

I am getting 25-27 MPG on highway, always using top rated fuel, shell, bp, Exxon etc. Temperature is also a factor, weather, tire size, driving habits etc.

 

BP is no longer on the Top Tier list I do believe….

 

Nice music selection…….
I generally get 21-23 with my 23 Sport

 

I usually get around 21-22 per tank, but tow a trailer with 2 mowers once a week in summer for about 30 miles. That knocks it down. Best tank I ever got was 27 on a deer hunting trip to Kentucky. Interstate at least 24, but I drive 70 max. I was amazed at the fuel mileage when I switched to this from a 5 cyl. GMC Canyon.
In Upper East TN, 2018 Tacoma SR. Michelin Defenders are the GOAT.
