Finally did a run to visit my children. Round trip of 1,081 mi. 1/3 country highways in mountains (Show Low AZ to Phoenix via Globe). The rest interstate (I10 from Phoenix to Riverside CA)
averaged 23.5 mpg. My 2016 Prerunner 4-cylinder used to get around 20.9.
Now for the fun part.
Had the...
Yes. It's in the settings for the instrument display. Here's an overview of how to make changes.
There is a "fuel economy" setting which controls whether to use average since reset or average for trip.
There is an acceleration setting for the cruise control with high/mid/low.
Loctite and JB Weld both have epoxy glues designed for plastics. Loctite also has a 2-component superglue for plastics. I've used the Loctite epoxy, and it worked well, but it wasn't in a high stress application.
Don't know what to tell you. I was shocked the first time I checked the actual fill-up to fill-up mileage because it was on a 130+ mile run in the mountains with lots of up and down grades. I was expecting 20 or less MPG.
If you have somewhere that fits, try this.
Find a 60 mile or so stretch of...
From what I've seen so far (have about 2400 mi), speed has everything to do with it. Stop and go traffic may also have a major impact but I don't get into that much.
I get 25+ mpg (measured from fuel fill-up) on country highways through mountainous terrain. Elevation changes average out (some...
So far on mine the actual gauge has been accurate when I fill up (half-tank takes ~9 gal, 3/4 takes ~14).
I look at the "miles to empty" as comic relief. I'd like to just turn it off.
Never have run it low enough for the warning to come on.

I think what the OP wants is to disable the collision avoidance system so that it won't hit the brakes in the middle of the car wash. I think that would be the Pre-Collision Braking System. From the manual it looks like the truck has to be moving at 3 or more MPH for that to be active. I would...
I think he's suggesting that you can forgo buying the recovery points and just get some soft shackles. The hitch frame is nicely rounded near the ends. However, there are some flat plates welded to it near there that are rather sharp and could cut the shackles if they slide much.
I'm planning...
Find yourself 100 miles or so of highway where the speed limit runs 45-65 and no more. Let adaptive cruise control take care of the speed and pick a day where you won't be bogged down in traffic and do a "there and back" trip. See what you get from that. I've been getting 25+ mpg under those...
The "miles to empty" apparently has a 2-3 gallon buffer for people who have no common sense and won't fill up until they are coasting into a station with the engine gasping for fuel.
