    About what mine says as well. If you calculate the change in size you can add that back. The calculation will be off by 5-7% give or take. Your probably a. It higher than that.

    Points to senpai for the username reference and weathering the storm of trash talk. +1.
    And just so you know @Tacoma_senpai i only joined like 6 weeks ago and am just as asshole. And your truck probably looks dope.

    But the mileage will suffer a bit. Probably normal.

    I have a 2016 TRD OR DBL SB. Stock was getting about 19-20 mpg.
    After adding Nitto's 265/70R17 115T, and FN wheels, I average 16-17 mpg.
    I also added the AFe CAI and air scoop and makes it harder for me to not keep mashing down the gas pedal to get that acceleration thing going! So that doesn't help mpg either.
    For reference, where you get a whole lotta drag is from underneath your vehicle....higher lift, more drag.
    When traveling in Texas on the interstate I am typically going 75-85......consistently get 16 mpg.

    Oh, and when I tow my tandem axle landscaping trailer, I get approximately 8mpg. So that's a thing. And also the reason I bought a 7.3 diesel.

    Your speedometer doesnt correct wheel size. At 35" tires your getting around ~14.7 mpg if your read out is 13 mpg. You multiple your reading by the ratio of the dia. Also can verify with actual fuel consumption at the pump.

    :annoyed::frusty:

    well I'm going to guess you didn't regear.
    Not even remotely surprised you've taken that big of a hit with a 6inch lift and 35" tires.

    Hope you don't have much of a commute for work.

    The best thing to do about the bad mileage of Tacomas (stock or modded) is to completely ignore it and enjoy your truck.

    I have 285's and Fuelly calculation is 12.5. If I factor in the % diff its maybe 13-14 tops. Def bummed at how bad it tanked. I am looking into re-gearing for several reasons but hoping it helps some here. I can feel the tranny working to find gears and you can feel it on hills, freeway. Have not had a chance to tow but I am sure I will see it there as well.
