    Compare the stock size tire to the one installed. It’ll show you the difference

    Thanks for backing me up lol. I should’ve just got a tundra I think haha. I bought the smallest, lightest truck (minus the double cab), with the smallest engine and 2wd thinking it would be efficient. And maybe it would’ve been had I not leveled it with 33s. Oh well. Live and learn ‍♂️

    9-10 mpgs with a 21 ft camper in hilly conditions. The camper weighed 3450 lbs according to the model number and website of the manufacturer. Just barely made the 3500 lb limit lmfao.

    That's bare bones my dude. I would expect that after you put your stuff in there it's close to 4000 lbs. Might should get a smaller trailer or a bigger truck.

    Just some FYI...I was irritated (clearly, but now I know) on the way to NC and drove an entire tank with the cruise set at exactly 60 mph and got exactly 21.0 mpg’s (not correcting for tire size, I didn’t know that then, so maybe a little better knowing that I know). Before I headed back to Texas I filled up with 93 octane and unplugged the battery as well as unplugged the 3 ecu fuses for abt 30 minutes to “reset” the ecu. And have been running 93 octane for the past 3 tanks. Same fuel mileage. I figured it was worth a shot, but it didn’t change anything.
