I did a 1300 mile road trip from 5/8/24 - 5/12/24. First fill up averaged 27.2 MPG. complete trip avg 25.6 MPG. On the return leg of the trip at times I was driving at between 70- 84 MPH. my truck is a 2024 SR 4x2.
Awesome. Not super surprised, the 4cyl turbos are very efficient if your light on the throttle. I love the low end torque. Our 21 Outback XT also has a 2.4 turbo and it’ll get slightly over 30mpg if driving easy on mostly level roads. But also scoots when you need it. 👍🏻
Hello sir. I don't know if you got the text that I was going to send you because the screen just went goofy. I was wondering if your truck was broke in when you still did the mpg test?@@MuscleAmerican
@@GerryHavicanit had over 700 miles on it when I did this video. I asked the dealership about breaking it in and they said there wasn’t a recommendation from Toyota.
Great video! You probably have the stock tires on your truck to get this mileage. A lot of people complain about their gas mileage but fail to mention a lift, bigger heavier tires, rock sliders or side steps. Really anything that makes their truck heavier or disrupts the flow of air going down the road.
Great job. I heard from several sources that Eco mode won't help (some say it's even worse). Also kudos for using 87 octane. That 85 octane as "regular" in your part of the country is a crock and they need to get rid of that. To those who might defend it, know that it is NOT the same at 87 in a modern, fuel injected, computer controlled engine in your climate/altitude. That only applied to carburetor days and it's going to hurt your vehicle in the long run and possibly even void your warranty.
Very excited to test mine next month. On Long Island, at sea-level and have a trip out east in June that'll net about 150 miles round trip all at highway speed, so wondering how high is possible.
Assuming 4wd yes? Love this type of test. Now time and experience have shown me to get a real hard # on mpg, you need to do a test on 3-5 tanks. and fill up at the same pump every time due to could be not 100% etc. take the mpg over the 3-5 tanks and ave. out. all that being said 27 mpg on a 4 wd 4 door with loads of power is a win!
One of your other videos you commented on adjusting the review mirror, did you round it out a bit to give definition? I’m trying to decide why it’s hard to look at when in use? Maybe no depth perception.
@@saheene it take a little getting used to because when I look at the rear view mirror my eyes have to readjust. It’s kinda hard to describe. Since it’s a screen and not a mirror it takes a little getting used to.
@@MuscleAmericanya it’s different, but if I’m not mistaken you did say you adjusted it some, so I guess what I’m asking is if rounding the picture out helped? I’m going to do a lil at a time to see if I can get it a lil better
Interesting mileage test. Can’t find any major flaws in methodology or execution. Curious though what tire are you running? OEM specification all season or aggressive trail tread? Rolling resistance plays a significant role in fuel economy. As a point of context, the Prius runs a narrow profile tire to maximize fuel economy. This is a documented fact.. Also, curious on your loops, did you encounter headwinds or tailwinds? They also influence the results. Thanks for the video
Nice Test. It would be interesting to see how it does going up Parleys and then down through Provo Canyon. Im curious to see how it handles the uphill.
you've picked the flattest route while also running in eco mode.... there is probably a reason why you trip computer had you averaging 19.3 mpg before you reset it. You HAD 783 miles on the OD which would have gave you three tank fills to average out any irregularities. What you are doing is Hypermiling..
I like that a 2 door cab is available. I don't like that you can't get a hybrid in the short cab. I get that there isn't room for the transmission hybrid motor in the short cab, but Toyota could add the beefed up starter from the Hilux V Active hybrid. That would help get it off the line faster and help with fuel economy.
I have a 2016 4runner w over 180k mi. It avgs about 24 mpg in MN. Mostly easy hgwy mi. 4.0 v6 gets better w age. I don't trust the new American inspired jdm considering the chief engineer behind it. It's not a tride n true vehicle. Lmk how the car ends up after 100k
Because it’s was on bigger trail rated tires, had a higher ride height and is heavier….The Iforce max hybrid system is tuned more for extra power and not much for efficiency, as opposed to systems like the Powerboost in the f150 which are great at both!
If you're complaining about powertrains thank your Gov and agencies for setting ridiculous emissions standards. pricing is a different story though. not sure who can afford a new vehicle these days.
@@MuscleAmerican I was told by my dealership that they will be available next month after waiting about 6 months. It will be the most powerful and fuel-efficient midsized truck.
Showed start with not full tank. Showing 249 miles to empty. After trip odometer says 233 to empty. Have OR hybrid and not getting that as of yet only 5000 miles. Should get better once broken in. Maybe it that new math
@@brianwahl472 no it was full. For some reason when it was full it would only show around 250 miles of range. It’s now updated so that it shows around 320 miles of range when I fill up.
I think everyone should remember that buying a new truck for fuel efficiency may be really dumb depending on your situation. Consider how much fuel you can purchase with the $20,000 you would save by buying used.
Me too, delivery of these trucks should have been in January of this year for both hybrid and non-hybrid options. We still don’t have pricing for the hybrids which is crazy.
Looks like a lot of people are easily impressed on here. Not ME ! That has the Iforce ax engine according to the Dash there. That's atrocious MPG ! The Highlander Max Hybrid is rated at 36 MPG. There is no reason Toyota couldn't have gotten the Tacoma to over 30+ Mpg. Truck looks nice and all, but with the price of Gas, and you put Premium in it... that's a hard Pass.
But your overall average is 19.3. I can get 24 mpg in my ‘23 4runner if i go 45-60 mph too… and my average is also 19.3. Just not seeing that much of a difference with the next gen of trucks
I'm about to take possession of my 24 Tacoma and was wondering about octane levels. I know it's rated for 87 but being a high compression... Probably really wants high octane for long term... Also probably performs better.
@@jackcrackermanI believe the compression ratio on the 2.4 is the same as the outgoing 3.5. Just like the 3.5, it will see a benefit in running 93, but I wouldn’t lose sleep over gas. Run 87.
I think majority of driver's don't use eco. Should of done it in normal and with some heavy throttle thrown in. Real world driving. What you did was not really a great test sorry. But a great looking truck
The test was to see how many mpg one COULD get with a light foot and eco mode. If you drive with a lead foot, you will get less. I don’t think you have any room to demand someone test in the way that some people drive.
@@MuscleAmerican yea my diesel ZR2 Colorado gets between 26-28 MPG on the highway at 72-75 MPH. Its great, but I just don't trust the engine anymore (already blew once). Right now I am between the Tacoma and Ranger. Appreciate the video!

Why does your fuel range only say 232 while you’re getting that good of fuel mileage? What do you see average for fuel range?

What do you usually see for fuel tank range on average?
@@crashmyparty 320-340

2024 Tacoma has a 18.6 size gas tank…vs 3gen at 21.1 gas tank..meaning more trips to the gas pump…
But it gets better gas mileage so it will be about the same amount of trips. I really wish it had a bigger tank. Missed opportunity for Toyota.
But if im getting 25 mpg vs ur 18 it about the same also is 2 gallons doing that much
You running stock wheels?
@@AA-dx4ql yes everything was stock in this video
296 miles of range for a full tank is that correct ?

Right now, 2500
