My current MPG in my 25’ TrailHunter

The previous gens were closer to their epa because when you gave them more gas to go faster they just made more noise. Because more throttle didn't get you more acceleration, you drove the trucks more conservatively. With the 4g, when you give it more gas and the turbo spools up it's "yeah baby!" Since you are on the throttle more and enjoying all of that torque, mpg suffers. If you drove with the same acceleration as the previous gens, you'd get much better mileage.

As soon as LongRangeAmerica makes an auxiliary tank I’m getting it. Adding just 4 extra gallons would be worth it.
late 24, got built in November.

As my truck runs up on 3k miles it is getting much better fuel mileage, at least once the engine is warm. I now have a tonneau and without the winter fuel blend I am getting around 22 mpg running 70-80 mph, even in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Still below the EPA estimate, but that is OK with me considering the power.

This does not make any sense, there has to be something wrong with your truck.
Please take it to the dealer.
I have a thread on this and no one has reported a mpg consumption below 11
There is a problem with your truck

I have my 5k coming up. I’ll mention it then. Though, I am seeing other TrailHunter owners across sites saying similar things.
What does the dash say? I can only assume something is wrong with your app or how you're entering it. I have not seen anyone else with that kind of mileage. If the dash agrees there has to be something wrong. Unless you idle for hours at a time I just don't see how that is possible.

I do idle for about 30 minutes. Dash said as low as 15. Now that I’ve been monitoring and trying to bring it up it says 17/18. Other TH owners have said they see approx 10-18. Definitely less than advertised.
15 sounds pretty normal but on the low end. I get around 17-19 but I take it easy. I would say down to 13 average is believable. 8 once is possible but still impressive. If you're getting below 12 average and you don't know why, something isn't right

24 Trailhunter here- after 15k miles- my Fuelly average is 15.1. I see as low as in the 12s driving west across the middle states (into the wind) and the best I've ever seen (once, all in town, driving slow, was 19.2, but that obviously is not the usual. 8 does seem low, but if it's right off the lot, there may be some wear in needed. Good luck getting Toyota to acknowledge its a problem, however. All these people with non-trailhunters posting mileage, get bent- you have a completely different (lighter, probably better) vehicle.
If you are basing your 8mpg of one fuelly record- i recommend you wait for a few more. I've had the numbers not add up on one or two fill ups for whatever reason- transposed miles on truck, inaccurate pump, accidentally topped past the first stop. All those things will throw fuelly, but normally you'll catch up after the next two fills. Your numbers don't make sense- your average of 16 shouldn't be higher than your best of 8. Wait two more complete fill ups and report back.
