Pretty significant improvement over the V8's numbers. For reference, the EPA estimates on mine are 13 city, 17 highway, and 14 combined.

At an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined for rear-wheel-drive models and 21 mpg for four-wheel-drive trucks, the Tundra's hybrid powertrain is 7 mpg more efficient than the outgoing model's 5.7-liter V-8. It's rated at up to 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway in its two-wheel-drive configuration, though adding four-wheel drive knocks 1 mpg off in the city and 2 mpg on the highway.
its only 2 mpg better than a regular tundra
and you dont get the big discounts like you can with the domestics. The domestics are going to come out priced lower. 75k is 3/4 ton diesel territory if someone really wanted to tow something, those get 22 mpg also

Wastegate issues popping up to where it's an easy search. Not sure the actual size and scope of the problem, but eh. "15MPG and an indestructible 5.7L V8 don't sound too terrible now" seems to be consensus from a lot. Gas prices will go back down.

The wastegate issue is disappointing, no doubt, but they'll get it worked out. The web always makes thing seem bigger than they are. Go on to the Tundras forum and read page after page after page of new owners who are very happy and not having any issues.

And the 5.7 is a great engine, no doubt, and I love mine. But they have NEVER fixed the cam shaft tower leaks. Still happening on 2021 engines.

a local Ram dealer is doing 8k off Limiteds, a local Ford dealer is doing MSRP on King Ranches. F150s had weaker discounts during normal times than other trucks cuz #1 selling truck.
