Next-Gen 2022 Toyota Tundra: Fans Mixed on MPG Estimates

I am in the market and waiting to see what this looks like and performs like. If it got 18 city 23 highway I’m all set.

Diesel- Diesel Diesel !!!

70k are you freaking kidding! No mpg is worth that! That's 2.5x as much as my folks paid for their house in "70". Not only is the labor worker being priced out of the pickup market but is being priced out of driving period! Even a 100k+ miles piece of junk Prius is 15k$. These prices are WAY way out of line!

Another article based purely on speculation.what ifs and well it could be...

The mpg seems a little too low my Chevy Colorado with the diesel gets 32 on the freeway.
It has more horsepower and torque

Better gas mileage would be great. Tundras will pass everything on the rd. except a gas station. I would love to see the shifter put on the colunm. That would give u lots more console room. Extended mirrors turn signal indicator in mirror.

Toyota still have antiquated 3 step distribution? Adds 30% to prices for distributor profit in between manufacture and dealers.

Keep the 5.7 and add hybrid 5.7, along with the new v6/v6 hybrid, its only the right thing to do also give everyone commenting a free 4x4 when they complete it. Thanks everyone and thanks Toyota and all of the big truck makers.

Everyone is nuts if they think a hybrid truck is going to get anywhere near 20 mpg towing any significant weight. Real world numbers will be the same mpg or less as a gas V8.

If they keep the V8, I will get it. If not, then no thanks. I’ll keep my 2020 Tundra’s reliability

If your worried about the gas milage, let me put it this way, your not ready for a tundra or any other big truck. It will better to go a buy a buy a corolla or a prius

I currently sell for Toyota. Toyota does not released any information to the sales consultants or management about what we should expect to see when there’s a new/updated release. Unfortunately we don’t know until the day of. What we have heard is the 5.7 Liter will no longer be available.

Like the one guy said, if mpg's are your concern then don't buy a full sized truck. Get a 4 banger Camry. According to my trip computer and with the cruise on at 70 mph, 20 mpg is my average. 2013 Tundra 2 wheel drive. Factory hp at 381. Dyno testing shows only 300 of those horses are making it to the rear wheels. A lot of folks don't realize how much fuel economy is affected by speed. I am on the road a lot and my observations are most people drive 80 mph or more in a 70 mph zone. When I am driving with cruise on at 60 mph, my average is 25. So from 60 to 70 mph a difference of 5 mph.

The best MPG for full size trucks is the Ram EcoDiesel with hwy between 33 - 35 mpg.

The 2021 Ford Powerboost Hybrid is 24 mpg in both city and hwy.

Tundra will have to get to the 33 - 35 mpg mark the EcoDiesel gets for anyone to switch to a Tundra unless they finally update their interior like Ford and Ram has done.

The upside of Toyota is they have been in the hybrid game much longer and new hybrids have a 10 year 150,000 mile warranty on the hybrid system.

I currently drive a Tacoma and like it a lot. I'm considering upgrading to a full size truck. I don't care that much about fuel economy, I'm more interested in performance and capabilities. A roomier can would be nice too. Real world has mileage on a new F159 hybrid is around 24 MPG. I expect Toyota to beat this a little. I really hope they don't screw up the driving dynamics as that is the case with most hybrids. Sure they accelerate better in a straight line. But if you are driving through twisty road and are constantly varying throttle they are worthless. Many of you don't drive like me and won't notice but sportier drivers will understand. It's all about predictable smooth quick throttle response. Hopefully Toyota nails it.
I hope Toyota offers flat tow capability like the domestic trucks. Being able to tow a truck with my motorhome would be a huge benefit.

I'd be willing to get a hybrid provided it has 28+mpg hwy.
As it stands on my 2019 Chev 1500, I regularly get
8-9L/100km on the HWY, and its a 5.3L Gas V8.

My 2018 Ford F150 4X4 with 3.5 Ecoboost gets 24-26 mpg highway and 21 combined. Only gets 16 in city if I put my foot into it traffic light to traffic light.

I am running a 2019 TRD sport 5.7 getting 15 to 18mpg all around and 12mpg towing 6000lbs. I did not consider feul economy when shopping for my Tundra. I wanted performance and reliability...and I got that. HOWEVER, my commuter vehicle is an electric Chevy Bolt. I was hoping the Tundra redesign would have a plug-in hybrid option. I know a modest battery would cost some payload rating, but I would ditch my Bolt if I could commute 60+mi round trip on full electric in a Tundra...and recharge at home while I sleep.
...maybe the 2045 model?

Just glad I won't be in the market for a new truck until 2025 or so. Hopefully by then all the kinks will be worked out.

It’s an oxymoron to qualify truck owners and prospective truck owners as concerned about fuel usage. By definition, a work/utility “truck” cannot be defined by testing in sterile lab conditions MPG results. Anyone concerned about these reports is in a fantasy world as carrying loads, pulling trailers, pushing snow blades, and the good old American sport, speeding, carries a huge penalty. I see truck idling for hours, w/o need at sites, at times at stores parking lots, empty and idling, and on the road, speeding. Whatever the reported mpg might be, try 50% less. So, do reports about “trucks” but to raise mpg concerns, sorry, it’s vapor wares. Thanks
