    16-ish in the winter, 17.5-ish in the summer. I lost about 2 mpg with the lift/tires/armor.

    2010 Access Cab with Icon Stage 2 lift, ARB front bumper, sliders, AllPro rear bumper, skid plates, and 285/85/16 tires. It looks like I'm getting anywhere between 12 to 15 with city driving. Of course my short drives and current speedometer reading aren't the most reliable indicators. A Scangauge ought to provide a more precise reading.

    Over the life of my truck I've averaged 19.3 MPG.

    I regularly hit 22 on the highway in spring/summer but also regularly hit 17 in the winter. I drive mostly highway as my work commute is 80 miles round trip M-F. The 24.3 in mid December was a trip out to the Washington coast... funny thing was I had my wife and two kids in it and a few hundred pounds of gear in the back. I was using cruise control at 55-65 as there were lots of cops.

    Got my 2013 Access Cab a few weeks ago and have been seeing 19-high 20s with mostly freeway driving at 70-80 mph.

    Damn! I fat fingered that one. I meant high 21s. I drive for 2+ sometimes 3 hours at a time almost everyday. I do the miles driven to fuel needed at fill up calculation every time I fill up and I've been seeing 21.3-21.6 pretty regularly.

    That sounds better, I get similar regularly. If I keep it under 65 I can get 22-23.

    There's not enough of these threads already???

    It's a truck.

    It's a 4x4.

    If you're worried about anything above 15mpg, you should have bought a Corolla.
    Winter MPG in trucks sucks.

    I average 17.4 around town (surburban driving) and got about 17.5 or so on a 1600 mile trip at 75-80mph over Christmas with a moto in the bed. One tank that I did go 60-65mph on for 150 miles or so I got 20.2 mpg.

    I'm quite happy with anything over 17. I have pulled in tanks under 17 around town but that's when it was quite cold (less than 15°F) and I was using 4HI a bit.

    18ish right now in winter...17ish during a week we get snow and the bed loads up + actively switching 4HI on while driving.

    During summer, I average 20mpg.
