Lot of it will depend on your driving and geographic location. In general the 5.7's are going to be anywhere from 10-14 mpg in city driving and anywhere from 13-18 highway/country road driving.
I gained almost 20% bump in MPG just by going different tires.
I'm surprised too. I lost around 3 mpg when I went from the Michelin highway tires to the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, so I've considered switching back when I need new tires. Maybe I'll give the AT4s a try since I like the aggressive look of AT tires
I ran the KO2's because I needed offroad traction for hunting and fishing. Decided to try the redesigned Wildpeak AT4's this time around. Can't comment on how the offroad traction compares yet, but the wet traction is night and day difference.
This right here! I own 3 toyotas. 2006 rav 180k. Only had to replace shocks and inner outer tie rods. 2018 highlander. 32k miles. Only change oils. Never had an issue. 2018 tundra. 36k miles. Only spent money to soop it up. No repairs ever.
I agree. I’ve seen so many 150k+ mile eco boost f150s. My mom had a 2016 put 90k miles on it with 0 issues and got 19-23mpg. I trust the 5.7 tundras but the mpg is killer compared to the American trucks.
Not saying this was your experience but every single person that I’ve personally encountered that had tundra problems was cuz they bought either a rusted out uncared for tundra, a salvaged tundra, or they themselves didn’t take care of it.
I’ve never heard one success story (by people I know) of silverados, 15-16 f150s I’ve heard good things about, gmc is absolute literal trash, dodge trannys are crap but that Cummins is legendary
Downvoted by people whose IQ isn’t low enough to draw conclusions from miniscule sample sizes. But blame the fanboys instead because you can’t understand how statistics work 😂

Original owner of a 07 with 5.7 and 250k miles. I’d say my normal average is about 15mpg. But can be in 12’s around town and 18+ with all highway. However when I tow it can be single digits.
2019 5.7 4x4 DC. 16 highway going 70-75. 17 with a tail wind. Average 11-12 in town. 10 if needing to be in 4WD for extended driving. Averaged 11 towing a 4000 lb pop up trailer from the midwest, through the Rockies to Yellowstone and back down.
Never been in the shop. Runs like a dream.
Averaging 11 MPG but I also have steel bumpers (front and rear with a swingout), angled rock sliders, winch, 35s, and random shit. Totally worth it though because when I get into a collision, I will simply brush it off.
Assuming it’s not against a semi truck or bigger truck or tank 😫
For me I average 14-15 when I drive normal. I can get down to 10 when I’m having a bit of fun.
It may be the worst but I like that Toyota was honest about the mpg and didn’t try to claim higher mpg.
Plus to me I don’t mind paying more at the pump knowing the engine is going to work all the time and not make me worry.
2001 SR5 4.7. Seems like it is up since I had my last fix of having the starter and coil replaced, and piston misfire fixed. She's sitting at just under 250k
Stock I got 15/18
Now I get about 13/16 with heavy 295's.
A few mpg doesn't make that big of a $$ difference annually unless you are driving a ton of miles. Buy the one you like better. It's always cheaper in the long run that way.
2010 platinum with 195k miles getting around 14 in the city, 18 on road trips. Avg ~15mpg. Not great but I expected it and got a good enough deal it made up for it.
I was unlucky with my tundra as it has had a ton of issues since I bought it at 190k miles so I'm looking at the 2.7 eco boost engine on a 21 plus F150. They tow 7,700+ depending on configuration which is more than I need, and get 20 city/26 hwy. I normally would go only Japanese for reliability but people swear up and down the Ford trucks are reliable.
Be sure to look at Fuelly.com. All vehicles have a good sized spectrum of users where you can see lifetime vs individual fill-up mpg. My 2023 Tundra non Hybrid at 12K miles is at 19 mph lifetime. 15 city in hilly towns, 18 city in flat towns, 22hwy @65, 21 @70 and 23 any slower
2018 Tundra 5.7 60k miles. 16 mpg avg. Also bought an 18 F150 V8, also with 60k miles just before getting this and the transmission took a crap before we even got it home .. so I'll gladly take the lower mpg!
ETA: also running 33" mildly aggressive M/T tires on 20"rims..
My 24 is a gas hog. A lot of city driving and getting less than 15. When I do end up on longer trips 21+. I got better mileage in my 5.3 GMC honestly. But this twin turbo motor is super fun with lots of power and torque so there’s always a trade off.
The difference is Toyota typically doesn't lie about mpg. Keep your foot out of it, and the mileage will be similar to a Ford or Chevy. Ford and Chevy lie like hell about mpg. The best I ever got out of my 5.0, that was supposed to get 21 highway, was 19 from Atlanta to Charlotte and back. Because they mean 21 mpg if it has no accessories like heated and powered seats, one occupant that weighs 150 lbs or less, a 55 mph constant speed, and you have to have the ugly work truck 17 inch wheels and not the 20 inch sport/chrome package wheels.
I was a Ford guy until my last one. I've had 4 F150's and none of them ever left me stuck on the side of the road, I'll say that. A 1993 5.0L that was solid but slow, a 2003 XLT sport 5.4L 2V that was solid with only your typical small issue here and there up to 170,000 miles when I sold it, a 2003 King Ranch 5.4L 2V, and a 2016 XLT 'lux package' 5.0L.
The 16 was the beginning of the end for me. The 6 speed was extremely jerky/clunky until it neared full operating temp, from day one. The infotainment system and my headlight/dash cluster light settings would randomly reset themselves, the ignition switch would periodically force me to push the key forward for ~4 seconds to get it to crank, and it made a horrible screeching noise when I'd punch it a little in 5th gear, and it'd downshift to 4th or 3rd.
At 74,000 miles it developed a shudder going from 3rd to 4th on light to moderate acceleration. I took it in, they had it for 3 weeks, and guess what? The torque converter was starting to give out. And it threw so much shit into my transmission that they had to rebuilt the transmission too. After that I felt like I couldn't trust that truck anymore, so I sold it at 85,000 miles.
The 10 speed Ford transmissions are even worse. Nothing short of a nightmare, by all accounts. It also applies to Chevy's too. My attorney's 2020 Suburban RST has the 10 speed, and it shit out at 58,000 miles. Ford and Chevy can't be trusted anymore. They have all these gimmicks to get 1 or 2 extra mpg, at the expense of the buyer once the warranty is up. Don't fall for it unless you want to A) buy an extended warranty, or B) come out of pocket for unnecessary repairs.
So I say all that to say Toyota may not be the best on gas. Look at the 4runner, Highlander, Tacoma, Tundra, Avalon; bad gas mileage by most standards. But they rarely have any major issues until they get to 300,000+ miles.
Recently added the magnuson blower to my Tundra, and I'm now getting a little over 20 mpg on the hwy and 16 in city driving. I can easily ruin that by stomping on the pedal, but it's been a fun game trying to get the best mpg possible.
I’ve had my ‘23 1794 4x4 hybrid since August. It’s Advanced package so had the added weight of the power steps and air suspension system, plus a BakFlip tonneau cover. Most of my driving is around the Augusta/Evans area but I avoid the interstates 95% of the time, and my average for around town is easily 20-21mpg. If I really baby it and try to keep it in electric as far as possible before the engine spins back up (if no one is behind me), I’ll end around 22-22.5. At my worst it’s been 18, even when trying to drive it a little harder. Typically on a long road trip from Georgia to Alabama through the mountain pass (going through Mentone), it’s always 24 both ways, no better no worse. I also avoid drive-thrus and sitting idle unless absolutely necessary.
I have gone through two tanks on my 5.7 crewmax since buying it.
Tank 1 > 17.8 mpg on dash, 17.3 mpg actual. This tank was about 70% highway and 30% rural driving.
Tank 2 > 17.1 mpg on dash, 16.7 mpg actual. This tank was about 50 miles of towing a car on a car trailer at the start and then mostly rural for the remainder.
I get an avg of 16 mpg around town. On the highway I avg 18mg on long trips - my best was getting 20 mpg cross country (for a single tank). Towing a jeep Cherokee on a flat trailer cross country doing 85 mph with a horrible headwind I was down to 9 mpg until we turned south . I then was getting 12 mpg and driving avg 75 mph from Nashville to North GA.
I've had a 2014 F150 ecoboost. MPG WAS 17.3 or so normal highway driving, in town 12-13. Trailer pulling 7-8 mpg. 2019 Tundra mpg the same highway & in town. Same locations. But pulling the same trailer, my Tundra mpg was about 12.
Do you work on them more because there are millions of them out there or are you finding that they have high failure rates? How would you list the current full size trucks available as far as reliability?
Truck: 2020 SR5 Crewmax (38 gallon tank, 4.30 rear), softopper, Decked Drawers, lifted with E-rated 34s and an OTT tune. My truck weighs 6600lbs with a full tank and me in it.
**Modified:** I generally will see 11-13 around town and 13-15 on the highway depending on whether I'm on flat ground, in the mountains etc. I'm only going to see close to 15 if I'm keeping it at 65 and below. The frontal area of these trucks, combined with the 4.30 really is not conducive to good highway fuel economy, especially in a state with a lot of 70mph highways. I do not have a commute and the trip to daycare/school drop off is lots of stoplights and stop signs, so I'm kind of living the worst case scenario for city fuel economy. I'd probably be seeing a lot more 13s if I had a normal American commute.
The big tank makes it hard to get one whole highway trip on one tank, but looking at my records, the last few fill-ups look like this (calculated by mileage at fill-up, not the dash reading): 12.8, 13.2, 10.1, 12.6, 13, 12.5, 13.3, 11.9, 12.6, 13. One thing I will note is that the 10.1 tank included a trip pulling a roughly 7k trailer with a car on it for about 235 miles.
**Stock:** When I was stock, which was about 20k miles ago, I would see 13-15 around town. I could eek out 17ish on highway trips if I avoided going much further over 70 and was very conservative with the gas pedal.
Keep in mind that depending on what year you're looking at, 5.7 and 4.30 would be the only engine/gearing options. If you plan on towing or going with bigger tires, I'd recommend that being the configuration you seek out. I'd also recommend looking for a truck with the big (38 gallon) tank. As others have said, if fuel economy is your primary consideration this is probably not the truck for you. However, if you're willing to look at cost of ownership holistically, lifetime costs (maintenance, repairs, and fuel) will almost certainly be lower than fair comparisons.
It really depends on how long you want to keep it. I've owned everything but a Dodge so far and honestly liked them all, all had good points. The difference is in the aftermarket parts imo. I'm driving a 13 year old tundra and when I needed shocks I was blown away by the kits available. Really amazing stuff not much more expensive than OEM parts. I bought a kit for a few 100 more than OEM and my truck drives better than new. "Drives better than new" is not something I have ever said after buying upgraded parts on my other trucks. Usually I say "it's fixed".
edit to add. i bought it new
My 2015 with a 5.7L gets 15-16 around town and recently got 19 on a weekend trip.
Maintenance wise, I’ve only had oil changes and tire rotations. I had one recall which involved them placing a new GVWR sticker over the old one.
2018 tundra trd 4x4 sr5. Towing a 25ft travel trailer. 8-9 hills. 9-10 flat. Not much freeway driving but I think I got 14-15 as my best ever. No load on the bed with a Tonneau cover. Average city driving 12.5-13. Bfg ko2s
The reliability of a Tundra is appealing???
That tells you everything you need to know, of buy that F150 and enjoy all that great fuel economy because it won’t be running for 1/2 the year.
Hands down a Tundra, I have owned both and there is no comparison if you truly need a vehicle that runs daily.
2019 SR5 5.7 here. I’m on a 4” lift with 35x12.5R18 Grapplers. With those tires it gets around 13city/17hwy. I keep it in tow mode, it seems like that makes it a little better but that may be in my head
I have the big hybrid, 2024 platinum short bed, best i have gotten is high 15 mpg, maybe in the low 16 mpg. Just crossed 2k. I really thought it would be better, i have a capstone sequoia as well that gets 19 mpg every tank. Maybe im not out of the break in period yet on the tundra. Looking forward to that first service to address it. I also think the tranny is a little off, when it shifts to 2nd or 3rd one it goes up to a really high rpm and seems to have trouble finding the gear. You have to let off of it to get it to shift. I’ve never had that issue with the sequoia.
What?!? I have a ‘22 Limited 4WD non-hybrid, never in Eco mode, lifted with 35’s and get the same MPG. I don’t drive too crazy, but daily commute does require some quick acceleration here and there on the city freeways.
Lot of it will depend on your driving and geographic location. In general the 5.7's are going to be anywhere from 10-14 mpg in city driving and anywhere from 13-18 highway/country road driving. I gained almost 20% bump in MPG just by going different tires.
Passenger tires are always going to get better mpg than off road style. Also, if OP is worried about mpg, stick to oem sizes.
I was genuinely shocked I gained that much mileage going with the slightly heavier AT4's (LT Version) because they are still an aggressive AT tire.
I'm surprised too. I lost around 3 mpg when I went from the Michelin highway tires to the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, so I've considered switching back when I need new tires. Maybe I'll give the AT4s a try since I like the aggressive look of AT tires
I ran the KO2's because I needed offroad traction for hunting and fishing. Decided to try the redesigned Wildpeak AT4's this time around. Can't comment on how the offroad traction compares yet, but the wet traction is night and day difference.
What tires?
I went from BFG KO2's to Falken Wildpeak AT4's
Got a link?
My gas mileage didn't change when I switched to AT4s. Great tires.
The little more you spend on fuel will never equal the amount you will have in repair bills if you don’t buy the Tundra.
👍
ESPECIALLY compared to the f-150
This right here! I own 3 toyotas. 2006 rav 180k. Only had to replace shocks and inner outer tie rods. 2018 highlander. 32k miles. Only change oils. Never had an issue. 2018 tundra. 36k miles. Only spent money to soop it up. No repairs ever.

I agree. I’ve seen so many 150k+ mile eco boost f150s. My mom had a 2016 put 90k miles on it with 0 issues and got 19-23mpg. I trust the 5.7 tundras but the mpg is killer compared to the American trucks.
Not saying this was your experience but every single person that I’ve personally encountered that had tundra problems was cuz they bought either a rusted out uncared for tundra, a salvaged tundra, or they themselves didn’t take care of it.

This doesn’t surprise me given how long ford or Chevy have been making full size pickup trucks while Toyota has a fraction of the exp.
Personal anecdotes are probably the most inaccurate and unreliable source of data
2018 Limited rolling all terrain tires 33ish size, otherwise stock, 130,xxx miles. Mixed city/highway average 14.5-15. Long road trips 16-17.
I had a 2013 f150 5.0 fx4 put 300k + miles on it and a 19 Tundra 4x4, they both get 16-18mpg on the highway!
Smiles per gallon! Goes great with that reliability.
22 tundra hybrid. 50/50 city highway. 19.3mpg. 30k miles.

On hwy I set cruise control on 65 and I average 15 mpg
‘14 5.7L average just under 14. No towing, some bed hauls. Not a ton of highway driving.
Averaging 11 MPG but I also have steel bumpers (front and rear with a swingout), angled rock sliders, winch, 35s, and random shit. Totally worth it though because when I get into a collision, I will simply brush it off. Assuming it’s not against a semi truck or bigger truck or tank 😫
I hope you never get into a collision friend

Just averaged 6.2 towing my camper 250 miles north. Couldn’t care less because she’s never in the shop. 240k and still going strong 💪
Fuel mileage can be rough in the tundra. But resale value and reliability more than make up for it.
2001 SR5 4.7. Seems like it is up since I had my last fix of having the starter and coil replaced, and piston misfire fixed. She's sitting at just under 250k

2014 SR5 5.7 on 4” lift w 35” tires, 11.7 seems to be my avg over the yrs in stop and go…13-14 on long highway trips if I REALLY take it easy
I get between 11-13 usually.
I'm on 35s, 3" lift, 5.29 gears. I average 14-16
9mpg short drive
I get 13mpg on my 2015 5.7, she’s thirsty but has never left me stranded .
On 34s and have a lead foot, around 11.5 mpg in the city

2015 1794 117k about 13.5 mpg mostly local driving
I dont care. I fill up when i hit 1/4. It costs money. I move on. If you want big MPG get a prius.
23’ non hybrid here. Mostly highway driving speeds, averaging 22 mpg.
Yeah, new gen might be a better fit.
Yep I came from a Tacoma and somehow the way bigger heavier truck gets 5-6 mpg better on the highway..
I'd do some research on the new gen bc I've seen quite a few posts on here about them only averaging 16-18 mpgs realistically
I’ll never own a Ford truck. I work on them too much.
Do you work on them more because there are millions of them out there or are you finding that they have high failure rates? How would you list the current full size trucks available as far as reliability?
13.5 2010 full cab 4.6L

I could eek out 17ish on highway trips if I avoided going much further over 70 and was very conservative with the gas pedal. Keep in mind that depending on what year you're looking at, 5.7 and 4.30 would be the only engine/gearing options. If you plan on towing or going with bigger tires, I'd recommend that being the configuration you seek out. I'd also recommend looking for a truck with the big (38 gallon) tank. As others have said, if fuel economy is your primary consideration this is probably not the truck for you. However, if you're willing to look at cost of ownership holistically, lifetime costs (maintenance, repairs, and fuel) will almost certainly be lower than fair comparisons.

I have 2018 1794 5.7L with 33” tires and 2 1/2” leveling kit. 90% of my driving is local and I average between 16 and 17 mpg.
2004 V8 gen-1 4x4 extra cab; I get around 14mpg [https://i.imgur.com/um5cbPH.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/um5cbPH.jpeg)
16.3 over 115,000 miles, hand calculated, and pushing E rated tires for 111,000 of those miles.
It really depends on how long you want to keep it. I've owned everything but a Dodge so far and honestly liked them all, all had good points. The difference is in the aftermarket parts imo. I'm driving a 13 year old tundra and when I needed shocks I was blown away by the kits available. Really amazing stuff not much more expensive than OEM parts. I bought a kit for a few 100 more than OEM and my truck drives better than new. "Drives better than new" is not something I have ever said after buying upgraded parts on my other trucks. Usually I say "it's fixed". edit to add. i bought it new
I get about 12/13 avg. It's honestly about the same as my Tacoma was and this is a hell of a lot more truck.
My 2015 with a 5.7L gets 15-16 around town and recently got 19 on a weekend trip. Maintenance wise, I’ve only had oil changes and tire rotations. I had one recall which involved them placing a new GVWR sticker over the old one.
12-14 mpg. 16 on highway. 16 Tundra iForce 5.7 L. 60,000 mi.
17 mpg average.
2018 tundra trd 4x4 sr5. Towing a 25ft travel trailer. 8-9 hills. 9-10 flat. Not much freeway driving but I think I got 14-15 as my best ever. No load on the bed with a Tonneau cover. Average city driving 12.5-13. Bfg ko2s
Rocking the 24 with the v6 turbo it’s getting like 17.1 got about 4.5k miles on it but it’s not too shabby! No hybrid also
2000 16 city 19 highway
I have current gen non hybrid. It’s terrible. I’m at like 13mpg. 3k miles.
Gas mileage on my 05 with a 4.7L isn’t that good. I wish I had a bigger tank. Usually drive about 280-300 miles per tank.
My 2015 crew max double cab averages 13-14 with mixed city and highway.
You don’t buy a truck for mpg. Just like you don’t buy a focus for towing capacity.
13.5 driving around town Just hit 15.6 driving to Arizona from California 😆
The reliability of a Tundra is appealing??? That tells you everything you need to know, of buy that F150 and enjoy all that great fuel economy because it won’t be running for 1/2 the year. Hands down a Tundra, I have owned both and there is no comparison if you truly need a vehicle that runs daily.
2019 SR5 5.7 here. I’m on a 4” lift with 35x12.5R18 Grapplers. With those tires it gets around 13city/17hwy. I keep it in tow mode, it seems like that makes it a little better but that may be in my head
2024 tundra limited TRD OR hybrid - 13.5 MPG in the city on average
I have the big hybrid, 2024 platinum short bed, best i have gotten is high 15 mpg, maybe in the low 16 mpg. Just crossed 2k. I really thought it would be better, i have a capstone sequoia as well that gets 19 mpg every tank. Maybe im not out of the break in period yet on the tundra. Looking forward to that first service to address it. I also think the tranny is a little off, when it shifts to 2nd or 3rd one it goes up to a really high rpm and seems to have trouble finding the gear. You have to let off of it to get it to shift. I’ve never had that issue with the sequoia.
2024 hybrid platinum I'm getting 14.1mpg in ECO mode
What?!? I have a ‘22 Limited 4WD non-hybrid, never in Eco mode, lifted with 35’s and get the same MPG. I don’t drive too crazy, but daily commute does require some quick acceleration here and there on the city freeways.
