Toyota just released images of its REFRESHED 2014 Tundra.

They made it look worse. Didn't think that was possible.

Don't have one, but it's on the list to get. I have researched it quite a bit - basically, if it was 100% city driving, you'd be about 13 or 14, and it if was 100% highway, you'd approach 17. So, 15 or 16 is most likely, depending on your ratio.

I have a double cab 2wd. I average under 15, and that is 70% interstate. But I'm typically driving 75 and above. She's thirsty, but overall a great engine. I wouldn't let a few mpg's sway your decision, trucks don't get great fuel mileage.

I've heard they stop for nothing, except a gas pump.

I doubt any other truck mentioned in this thread can outrun that tundra. Those things are FAST.

I don't like them at all, but that's a hell of a motor in that truck.

Just realize that if gas mileage is a major concern, you may want to go a different route such as a smaller half ton with a smaller v-8.

My buddy averages something like 14.5mpg with his riding around town. It pulls like a mother fricker though.
