The iForce Max engine (V6TT plus hybrid) seems interesting : the best of both worlds. I'd really love to see it in a Lexus RWD sedan application.

Top Trim "Capstone" is coming above 1794. makes sense given the rise of the ultra premium trims on everyone else's trucks.

That was a very good video. Informative as well. Total looks like they know what they’re doing with their batteries. The end of life discussion was interesting for the battery

Yes. It looks good. The Toyota logo is blue (I think)

Significant improvement in fuel ratings compared to the outgoing model.

I think those numbers might be a tad optimistic, but for sure it'll be better than the V8 efficiency wise.

Frankly, the EPA rating on my V8 Tundra is also quite optimistic. This should still represent a solid improvement, though real life testing will indeed tell.

My LX isn’t! IDK WTF? It’s rated 12/17 which is truly awful but gets about 14 city and 20 highway in the real world.

And yes this engine will be interesting to watch and scrutinize. Boost sucks down gas…I don’t care what anyone says.

I have about 2200 miles on it so far. My average over those 2200 miles is 10.2, but about half of those miles were towing.

The figures for the new Tundra would imply it should get several more miles per gallon, though like any vehicle, driving style is going to have a lot to do with it.

going from a 6 speed to 10 speed will have a large gain in mileage
