question. I just got a 25 Tacoma and feel like I’m not getting good mileage I’m getting 15 miles per gallon. I’m on the point that I been driving my 06 2.7 Tacoma every day and every time I come home and I see my new Tacoma and I just shake my head.

I get 23-24 on the highway with my OR, and I'd bet six bits I'd do the same in your truck where I drive.

After taking it out on a longer extended drive/trip, the mileage got much better for me. Initially it was disappointing to be getting consistently lower than stated mpg, but after getting it out on the road beyond the everyday routine driving it really improved. The pic below is better than usual (actually just took the pic as a "best one yet" record), but I typically get much better than what it was the first few thousand miles.

you’re probably gonna have a break in period where this engine won’t get amazing MPGs. Give it some time…

drive modes do make a difference. ECO does more than throttle your acceleration, it’ll reduce a bit of power to your HVAC / air conditioning won’t feel as super cold, other electrical, etc. ECO mode is ideal for city driving, not much effect for highway so normal mode is fine for longer trips.

aero makes a difference. Air dam installed?

rolling resistance. Beefy new treads or OE tires?

New truck / fun to drive / fast off the line / once all that settles down you’ll see the fuel efficiency climb


any constant weight penalties on your rig?

There are already dozens of these threads. You will get everything from 15 MPG to the hyper milers claiming 30+. You are fine just drive it and don’t think about it Or you will become obsessed.

Drive it till it starts getting better. BUT don't get rid of the '06. I enjoy driving the '24 but missed my old one so bought an '04 for a daily driver.

I've added 1300 pounds to my truck overstock, and I averaged 15 miles to the gallon. No matter what I've done, or how I drive or even with what mode I drive in..even
Before the OTT tune, it was worse.
Believe it or not With the OTT tune, I've gained 2 miles to the gallon on average and a whole lot more power.
I recommend the OTT tune to everyone who has modified their vehicle at all.
