    Leveled with Bilstein 5100 shocks, Kumho AT52 265/75 tires, Redline hood struts, R4T tailgate lock, Matt Gecko LED strips in bed and under hood, WeatherTech hood guard, OEM bed mat, Husky floor mats, Carhart seat covers, Grille replacement with Toyota letters, Sony AX6000 replacement head unit, OTT lite/mild tune, and an occasional splash of fuel additive.
    I recently made a 1400 mile trip mostly interstate with 33 inch tires with leveling. 70 to 75 miles per hour, and I was at about 17.2 mpg. On one leg of that trip, several hundred miles, through Nebraska on flat interstate, I reached 19 mpg. I’m getting between 18 and 19 mpg in/around town. I’m using regular 87 Octane gas with whatever they put into it.

    How are you compensating for your 33 inch tires in your mileage calculations? If you're just looking at your truck's data, it's wrong.

    Have a Hyper Tech cable installed to compensate, but I’m also doing my calculations outside of the system. They are very close. I have the gas buddy app installed to keep track of mileage price I’m paying etc.

    I don't think unplugging my battery will give me +6mpg

    I had to ditch the Hypertech when I got my 2020, which they STILL don't support (or the 2019).
