    I have a 2018 TRD Sport that I bought used a couple of months ago. Love the truck but have a question about this ECO app. Why does it top out at 30 mpg? Is this some unwritten law that thou shall never get better mileage that that? Mine hits that mark often and I wonder if it could get better than that under perfect conditions - downhill with a tailwind?
    Just curious

    It’s because the math doesn’t lie only people do.

    Wood714 - thanks for the reply. Is that something you set? If it is a user setting I cannot find it. Mine stays at
    30mpg.

    Don't have an ECO button in overhead it is one of the APP's on display screen. The info display between the tach & speedo also tops out at 30mpg.

    I too am curious about this 30 MPG display limit. Can the screen be modified to show a greater MPG limit or is it part of the firmware?
