    "City" is relative. I have a 2014 TRD O/R with the 265/70/16 A/T tires. On my drive home from work today I averaged 5.7mpg. Granted, it was less than 5 miles, but in NYC that took me 40 minutes. I spend more time idling with the AC on in the summers than I do driving (ok not entirely true.)

    With combined highway/surface street driving, I average around 16 within NYC, and my drives outside the city get me closer to 21 mpg on trips near 100 miles with combined city/highway, and out of city highway driving.

    I used to live in Taylorsville and am familiar with SLC and other Utah driving. Sounds like you're heavy on the gas if that's the best you are getting.

    Not overly pleased with the economy of this truck. I drive it pretty light too (typically shift around 2500rpm)
    Any suggestions?

    Would there be a big difference in mileage if you aren't using it? (Late summer/early fall for most of us right now i bet; no use for 4WD less offroading).

    I'd guess it's only a hundred pounds or so..
