5.29 gears, 35’s, and gas mileage.

Hey guys. First post. Long time lurker. 8th Tacoma for me. Long story.
Anyways, I have a 2017 double cab, TRD off-road. The guy before me had it regeared to 5.29’s and it had 35’s put on. It was done by a reputable company here in dfw. I average like 12-13mpg. Is that par for the course? I’m considering having it tuned or shift points remapped possibly. Going to give the guy that did the work a call and see what they did also but wanted to know you guys’ experience with these gears and these tires and see what everyone else was averaging.

 

Words that shouldn't go together for $300 Alex.

 

Sounds about right, but post more info about your tires, air pressure, and driving habits.

I get 15-16 mpg on my LT255/85r16 e-load mud terrains and I baby it on the road. 18mpg on the stock all-terrains. Factor in 7% for the speedometer.

 

Nah man this is what you're gonna get

 

Your mpg's seem ballpark for what it is, nothing abnormal.

 

Appreciate all the replies! If that’s where it’s supposed to be I’m fine with it. I’ve just never been the 35’s and regear route so didn’t know what to expect.
Thanks again!

 

Seems about right for what I have seen on here. You play, you pay.

If someone wants that setup, they can always get a cheap DD car or something.

Most of all, have fun with it!

 

Sounds about right. You might get another ~1mpg w/a tune. Don't forget that your speedo and odo are off by around 13% with a 35 inch tire vs the stock 31 inch tire. So if you haven't factored for that then you're getting around 13.5-14.5 mpg, which is downright respectable!

 

@mech9er,

What are your tires and wheels? If you've got 70 lb or greater AT tires then you're probably doing better than most w/ >33" tires.

Where's the pics?

 

Will get some this weekend with my camera. Camping trip is planned.

 

5.29s, 35s, and ovtune. In California where I ran 75mph + all the time I was getting 14-15. Now in New Hampshire where I rarely go above 60mph I get 17 to 18mpg

 

I don't know how you guys do it. I've got 5.29s and e-rated 33s and can manage 16-17 if I don't take it above 2000 rpm and no more than half throttle. If I drive like normal I average 12-13

 

Damn impressive for carrying armor/sliders/bumper/winch and NH terrain.

 

@mech9r,

Also.. are you going by what the trip computer tells you? If so the calculations are not corrected for your larger diameter tires.

 

Yes, I am actually. Which is wrong apparently. Are the percentages in the above comment correct?

 

All about the roads I guess. I'm expecting around 15-16 w/ e rated 33's and a tune. Where I live though, most trips will probably be around 13.

 

I'm getting 14-15 on 33's now, stock gears. My 35's arrive Friday. Also have gears just trying to find a reputable installer that's somewhat close to me.

 

Highly recommend this tune with your gears….I’m on KDmax pro tune with 4:88’s and it makes a big difference. Overall drivability was a huge improvement. There’s a KDmax tuner in Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Yes, look accurate to me. Your exact tire size may differ slightly.
