Best guess for 2024 Tacoma SR MPG?

But since almost nobody drives their 3g at 6000rpm, way more *useful* horsepower

 

Since you don't share any specifics re year, model, etc, can you pop up the EPA rating that shows 27? I have a '13 5 lug and they only come in at 25, and even flat road cruising I've maxed at 25 only a couple of times. And I have recorded / Excel calculated every tank for 35k miles. With an overall avg just under 20 for all driving over those miles.

If you're actually getting 27 (color me doubtful) you have a bit of a unicorn that you should probably keep.

Guesses are useless information for $40k expenditure decision making. If you're really interested, wait and see the published numbers, then wait and see what folks actually achieve.

 

The 4th Gen is also at 6000 RPM.

 

Peak, yes. With more torque at any given rpm, you’re also making more horsepower at that rpm.

So in the 1500-3500rpm range most of us use daily, you’ll get far more actual useful horsepower

 

Reliability concerns aside, believe the T4 will be perfect for us old farts who like to plunk along and not scream the engine.

Why I like 2-Stroke 300s over 125s dirt bikes, almost all of the trail riding I do is at 1/4 throttle. 300s have loads of torque.

 

Let me know what you guys think of my methodology here. Apologies if it has been brought up, as i didn't read the whole thread.

The 2022 Highlander and Tacoma both have the 3.5L V6. The Highlander gets 23 mpg combined per fueleconomy.gov, while the Tacoma gets 21 mpg combined. The 2023 Highlander with the new 2.4L turbo gets 24 mpg combined. Barely an improvement. My guess is that the new Tacoma gets only marginally better mileage (if any) around that 21-22 mpg.

 

With any luck, we’ll find out tomorrow.

Plus the Turbo 4 Highlander is slower than the previous V6, even with the extra boost in torque.

 

Right, but an important factor is the V6 was rated for 295 HP where as the 4 is 265 HP. In the Tacoma (auto), both are rated the same 278 HP.

 

Torque also went from 263 to 310, curious to see how the new Tacoma feels.

 

Per Forbes here are the anemic mpg numbers. No hybrid numbers yet….

Sr mpg 20/26 mix 23
Sr5 mpg 19/24 mix 21

26 mpg highway is 3 mpg better than a 2023 Tacoma SR and only 1 mpg lower than my gen 2. Not too bad .

 

I wouldn’t hold much stock in any numbers being reported yet. 23 mixed would be great. I’m getting 18.5 on my 2021.

 

You don't think those are the official EPA numbers? If they aren't, I'd think they would qualify them by saying these aren't official.

 

Unknown. I need to look at the press release closer when I get home.

 

They’re Toyota numbers. EPA official hasn’t been released

 

I’m gonna get the same mileage with 120 more Hp, 150lb ft more torque, 3000lbs more towing capacity, and 700lbs more payload.

all in a vastly better package. Can’t wait

 

Still worse than an F150. Impressive
