re: What is your Toyota Tundra mileage.

quote:

here's what i learned/observed while truck shopping:

1) tundra towing capacity is best in class
2) tundra gas mileage is worst or close to worst
3) the tundra rear seat area is the most uncomfortable

there was not a compelling reason, for me, to choose the tundra. others will have different needs

i went with a 2018 sierra, after two days on the highway i'm right at 22 mpg

That matches my experience exactly. Went with the 2017 Silverado (same thing).

I compared the Tundra 5.7 with the Silverado 5.3 and 6.0 and ended up with the 5.3.

The Tundra 5.7 has more power than the Silverado 5.3, but it was not significant. The Silverado 6.0 blew it out of the water, but if I was going to get that I would have just gone for the 2500 diesel instead (which was out of my budget for last year). So i settled on the 5.3 Chevy and have been very happy with it.

I had a Tundra, now have a Silverado. Am happy with it.

Slight power difference, but not huge. Torque is what matters and 383 vs 401 isn't a big difference.
Fuel mileage greatly improved.
Slightly smaller back seat.
Rides much better.
Apple Carplay. I don't think I'll own a vehicle without it from now on.

I think the Tundra is a good and well made truck, but in 2018 it's just a bit old and outclassed. I'd really like to see Toyota invest in it.
