Toyota Tundra Gas Mileage--what do you get???

I had a 2011 and NEVER could get the elusive 10 mph towing my 5,500# TT even on the flat lands of the Midwest at 65mph max. Was a great truck though.

2007 Tundra Crew Cab

Highway 16.8 mpg
City 13.5 mpg
Towing 9-10 mpg (Mix of flat land and mountains)
5th wheel is 7,800 wet

Great truck! Crappy gas mileage!

31'tt @7600lbs averages 9.8mpg @65mph. I get an average of 18mpg on the highway non towing, 13mpg city. All hand calculated. Numbers will drop considerably with a heavy foot.

Exactly what my truck did. Sometimes less towing depending on hills/wind, but on average this is spot on.

Pretty much what my truck does. Slightly worse on towing and highway. Towing a 7200 lb trailer will get 8 - 9.5. Highway about 17.5. I also have LT tires on the truck though.

bowler...With my '08 4X4 DC 5.7L towing a 6K dry/approx. 6,800 loaded '11 Keystone Outback 250RS, I've averaged 9.5 to just short of 10.0 on hauls ranging from 400 to 1,500 miles. But I've also got short of 8.0 in strong headwinds. I'm a conservation driver (eg. maximum 62 MPH on the highway as a regular practice).

My around town driving per tankfull will range from 12.6 for short hops in the cold winter periods, to 15.6 with more "suburban" driving stints in spring and fall.

I get about 9-10 mpg towing, depending on conditions. Day in, day out everyday driving I get about 13.5 mpg overall, combined city/highway. BTW, my towing mileage is about the same as my old 4.7 first Generation Tundra.

The 5.7 Tundra is very dependent on how hard you put your foot into. It's possible to get better non-towing mpg then I do, but I've got a heavy right foot.
