Well, I bet they'll be gone quickly at least lol

 

Oh for sure. Toyota and especially their body on frame models are always in high demand. They sell every one they make. That said, the new Tundra is vastly superior compared to the outgoing model. Toyota finally offers a fully boxed frame like their Japan made pick up trucks. I don’t really find the hybrid model to be worth it over the V6

 

Agreed. I would skip it. I wish the hybrid was a n/c option on higher trims rather than standard. I think that's a mistake Toyota is making with this. Not as bad as no Auto 4WD but worth pointing out.

 

Ford executed a hybrid truck way better than Toyota did

 

just checkin in...hit 500 miles on the odo. so far so good. started to open it up a bit and take it out into the wild and hills behind my place. power delivery and transmission is smooth. for my first tank i got about 440+ miles ave about 15mpg. it was all driving around town varying speeds and rpms. only about 20% hwy.







avs!

 

Great mileage on that first tank. Keep us updated of your experience, @sensai .

 

15mpg is great?

 

I get 11-12 mpg on mine. Perspective.

Even so, I do think that's pretty good for a first tank and driving mostly around town.

 

For a truck like that, absolutely.

 

from where i'm coming from, yes. my supercharged 08 tundra with all terrain's and stage four lift kit gets about 8-10mpg and only has a 26 gal tank. i spend a lot of time filling up ole reliable. the other problem is lead foot.

 

f150's seem enormously better than that.

Again, first tank.

The link you provided shows the 3.5 ecoboost, which is probably the most comparable to the Tundra's 3.4 TTV6, as 18 city, 23 hwy, and 20 combined. Tundra is rated at 17 city, 22 hwy, 19 combined, so about 1 mpg less on the EPA test.

 

And thats the EPA rating, which for city driving (non highway) is very commonly high in my experience.

As an example, we get 16 MPG in the Pacifica, which is hardly ever driven on the highway...and is much more aerodynamic, lighter, 2WD, less powerful.

 

15MPG is terrible, hate to be a Debbie Downer. I still lovvvve OPs truck, and I drive a big gas guzzler so mileage doesn't matter to me, but ehhh.

Hopefully his gas mileage will improve as his engine gets more broken in.

 

You get WAY less than 15MPG around town lol
