I guess I am asking of 4wd really gets 19/22. 2wd says it gets 19/24.

That sounds insane for a Tahoe-sized truck.

I understand the twin turbo to some degree. But you have to have some kind of pedal-discipline to make it all work, right?

Armadas are about 10k cheaper used with a v8. If the gas mileage is a farce, then I can see switching to Nissan. Knowing that a Nissan is not a Toyota in perceived quality.

There are too many variables that equates to achieving estimated fuel mileage. Toyota has a 3.31 axel ratio, which is good for highway use and gets them to 19/22; however, if you plan on +33" tires and towing more frequently, it will lower your average.

I drove my '22 Tundra (non-hybrid) to Ohio in '22. I filled up the truck (just outside of Memphis) and drove the entire way on one tank of gas.
32 gallon tank and 560ish miles. Think I put 26 gallons or so when we got there. So, right at 21-22 mpg

Since then, I put 275/60r20s on it and mileage has dropped to 18-19.

ETA: towed my son's 2012 Sequoia to my FIL's this past year on a 30ft+ car hauler trailer. 1.5hrs or so and very hilly across north MS. Truck got 13-14 mpg.
