MPG Question….

I have a 2025 TRD Sport with 18”. I was getting around 23.5 MPG. I put an AFE Air Filer on it, getting around 24.5 now. Guy I work with has a 2025 SR5 (4x4) with 17” tires. He’s getting around 26 MPG. Just curious if others are getting better MPG. All in I’m very pleased with 23-24 MPG considering I have 18” tires along with it being a 4x4.

 

Be easy on the accelerator, go slow when accelerating, make sure to watch your RPMs while doing so. Also I think that truck has an eco mode? (Not sure, anyone correct me if I'm wrong) Additionally just slow down, don't go faster than nessecary.

 

My basic 2025 SR5 4x4 with 17" is showing mostly 27.3 mpg on its own calculator over the last 2,000 miles or so. Note that it's mostly highway driving at <70 mph, and once I learned that the truck was observing my driving style I got a very light foot.

It's got a bit over 3K miles on it now. When it was brand-new I drove it home to MI from VT via upper NY and Canada. In Canada on the 401 and 407, every Canadian with a driver's license was driving between 80 and 90 mph and pretty soon I got with the program and was howling along, staying under 90. The truck calculated over 23 mpg even under those conditions.

As stated , I live in MI, and in a few months frozen white stuff will be covering our roads and we'll be plowing snow with our tires (and maybe with that front air dam). That will hurt the mpg. I've still got my old 2005 Ranger, my old friend, and that may do ordinary duty in the winter--runs to the grocery store, work commutes when the city hasn't plowed yet and I can't ride the bicycle. But the Tacoma with 4WD, my first ever running on all 4, will be called out when the going gets tough.

 

I just discovered that my new truck gives me a "this trip" readout at the end of every drive. I just did a 10-mile trip (each way) that I'd describe as suburban-urban. On the way in the readout said 23.4 mpg. On the way back, 30.0. Slight difference in routes, red lights,and stop signs. My 145 mi. highway trip here last night rated 28.3 mpg.
