In October, 2021 I ordered a new Ford F350 crew cab with the 7.3 liter gas engine to replace the 2008 Dodge QC with the 6.7 liter diesel engine. The Dodge works fine except the d&*$# EPA stuff is such a PITA it sends me a notice every three months or so I need to get something fixed. Most of the time it has to do with the regen system or the turbo. I don't drive the miles I used to drive so it isn't really worth it to keep it unless I do a full delete of the system. I still don't have the new truck but with the fuel prices jumping up over a dollar in 30 days, I may need to reconsider buying the new truck. I have the money set aside since the past couple of years I have been hibernating at home so not spending any money.

The Ram 1500 Hemi EPA numbers do not vary with gearing. I believe when the EPA got their numbers, it was with the 3.21 ratio, not the 3.92. My buddy and I each have a 2019 Ram Hemi Big Horn. He has 3.92 and I have the 3.21. I average about 17.1 combined, his 3.96 is usually around 14.5 mpg. NOTE: Most of the RAM 1500s TFL test uses that 3.92.

That and I noticed my coolant was under the low mark. Don’t know if using coolant to or if low after dealer changed out new engine and didn’t top it off correctly. New engine using excess oil again and possible coolant to I was done with the 5.0. Didn’t want to deal with the warranty and go through the TSP process again to see if the third one would not suck down oil.

Yes cylinder deactivation is great~ when it works. I cannot imagine price to fix that issue. Turbo diesel can get great fuel economy~ but to delete them in order to get the best mpg’s is highly contested. Price out DEF plus the extra 1 or 2 dollars in cost of fuel at the pump. Plus usually 10-15,000 more at purchase price. Plus pricey to fix. If you are buying a $70,000+ pick up, financing 8+ years, then bitching about gas prices; there’s more issues, than we have time.

Will outlast the Honda though.

I have a 2012 F150 5.0 6 speed automatic 4X4 crew cab. My wife and I get 19 - 20 MPG that's on anywhere from 2,500 mile vacation trip to 5,500 mile vacation trip covering , all kinds of flatland and mountains. On the 5,500 trip rwr actually got 19.3 MPG on a 2850 mile trip through Tennessee and North Carolina we got 20.03 MPG Personally, I'm happy with that. A friend of mine bought a 2018 Ram 1500 4X4 crew cab 5.7 Hemi, with an 8 speed he gets 24 MPG on long trips. So it can depend on the driver as well as the vehicle itself. I use Lucas fuel injector cleaner on our trips and that can help.

My 20 Ram 4x4 got a combined 16.7 mpg in Atlanta. I couldn’t get the advertised epa mpg driving off a cliff!

I like how the nissan titan pro 4x is on the list. My frontier pro4x is horrible on gas for a v6! could only imagine the titan especially at the gas prices here in Canada

I’m suffering with gas mileage on my tundra!! It’s the worst and gas is very expensive in LA right now. I do love my 5.7 v8 tundra though! It’s really quick, very responsive, sounds lovely, and I know I’m driving a bulletproof of a truck 🛻

These V8 gas guzzlers will be worth a fortune in a few years when the EV tech takes hold then languishes. Buy them cheap.

All V-8 engines and the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel are paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission for retail customers. - That is from GM. Idk where you all found that 6 speed, but I'm guessing it's for fleet only. I knew something sounded wrong when you brought it up.

No I like to say best in class fuel consumption. Tundra is number one!!

I was about 100 miles into the 350-mile trip home and it started acting funny (my first thought was bad gas). The RPMs would go up and down and there was a lack of power. The gas station that I got gas from was on the side of a hill and the area got 3 inches of rain in 48 hours. So I thought water in the fuel. I got some fuel additive to remove water at the next town and kept driving it. I made it 2 miles from home and then it had no power. I pulled off into a parking lot, put it in park and it rolled. It did have reverse though.... I think the cost was 4k to replace but I think Johnson Auto plaza was able to get it under warranty as it was only 4k out of warranty and it was one of probably hundreds of trucks my company bought from them over the years. That being said, I drove it another 85k on the new transmission without a hiccup and it is probably doing just fine still.

When comparing buying a Tundra to any other full size truck I look at it as you can pay for repairs as you go or you can pay more in fuel cost for an extremely reliable truck. Now that Toyota has upped the game with a turbo powered V6 or a hybrid set up, to me that is THE truck to buy! I would take a reliable gas guzzler over waiting for parts to come in to fix my Foramevy!

My Suburban 2500 gets atrocious MPG. Averaging 9.5 mixed highway and city. If I cruise on the highway I avaerage 15-17 mpg but the city guzzles it back down. Funny thing though with the 2500, when I am towing my mpg is 8.0 mpg, so barely a difference.

As an owner of a 2014 Nissan Titan I agree

I have found that my 18 tundra gets better mileage than what the epa rating is. Currently have 28k on it and my at pump average is 16.2. I do lots of interstate driving at 75 to 80 mph. Towing a 7k pound high profile trailer I get about 9mpg. With my equipment trailer at 7k pounds I get 11mpg. The efficiency is getting better as the mileage goes up. I also get better mileage with 10% ethenol 87 octane, than with 93 octane with no ethanol. Of course I am at 1000' of elevation, not 5000'.

In our fleet we noticed the Hemi socks gas during winter both 6.4 and 5.7. The GM 5.3 with 6 speed isn't great on fuel, the new 6.6 gas with 6 speed isn't far off for a much heavier truck. I was 100% expecting the tundra to be last.. they arr worse than my 2500 hemi 6.4 power wagon

This is so hard for me to understand. I bought a new 1994 Z71 Chevy truck in June of 94. I drove this truck from Apple Valley, Ca. to Loveland Co in November of that year. I set my cruise at 82 mph as often as possible. I kept track of all the gas it used going and back. I averaged 21.8 mpg round trip. And this is a 4x4 with a 350 engine with a 4 speed trans. What is going on with the new trucks. Are the gas companies building them?

I get anywhere from 14-17 mpg on the highway depending on weather conditions unloaded with my 2015 Ram 2500 power wagon. 6.4 hemi, 4.10 gears, ancient 6 sp transmission, and 295/70/R17 mud tires. I keep the speed at 70 mph. Any faster and the gearing really makes it drink it down. It got around 10 mpg towing a 17 ft landscaping trailer with about 10k lbs of green hickory on it and about 12-13 with my jeep patriot sitting on it. Ironically it also gets about 10 when the trailer is empty due to the drag from the tall rear gate. It seems as though all these new small displacement turbo engines do great when they're unloaded and not having to make boost but as soon as you put a halfway decent load on them and they have to start spooling that turbo, they're even more thirsty than the old school V8s.

I have the 3.5 turbo, I average 20 mpg in mixed driving when not towing. I tow a 6,000 lb boat it'll drop to 14-15 though I also slow down and drive 55-60 which is responsible when towing a boat. On the highway it depends, driving a constant speed is the way to get good mpg's out of a turbo engine. I can cruise at 80 and the gauge will show no boost, and I'll get 21, if I drop to 70 I get 24-25.

Basically the same HP numbers but it's the Torque that matters. The 5.0 Is an amazing powerplant a high revving pull all day monster np...but to reach is 400lbs max torque it revs up at 6500rpm....the 3.5 at 470lbs max torque at 3500 the 3.5 is barely working.

It may have made more peak power than the 5.3 Chevy I had from the same year but the way it developed that power, it sure didn't feel like it. It definitely couldn't hold a candle to my 2010 5.7 hemi which seemed to come alive right around 3.5k. My current 2500 with the 6.4 hemi starts piling on the torque at least 500 rpms lower than my old 5.7 did. Even with this 7k lb truck that's lifted, rolling on oversized mud tires, pulling 10k lbs at highway speeds through some pretty steep grades in the hills of Tennessee, I don't think I've ever seen it skip down more than a gear or two. That engine pulls like no tomorrow around 3k. I think the new transmissions nowadays are helping efficiency more than anything else, with less parasitic losses, and allowing for shorter gear spreads keeping the rpms where the engine can perform best and not requiring an extremely tall rear end to get off the line under heavy load.

@@paulhunter9613 Considering that nobody makes a heavy duty truck with a small displacement turbo engine yet, I'd hardly call it a 100% apples to apples comparison but the fact remains that the results I typically see are no worse and in many cases better than the results posted with these new power train combos, all the while in a much larger, heavier and draggier vehicle. Also you have to consider the wear and tear that a work vehicle endures. No matter how you cut it, when you start shrinking things down, you are putting identical, sometimes greater forces on smaller and smaller components. The end result is more friction, more heat, and more wear and tear. You can't cheat physics. You can make high stress and wearable components out of different materials and/or use different manufacturing techniques to address and mitigate these issues but it is there nevertheless. Is be real curious to see just how many of these engines will be around in a decade or so with 300-400k miles on them still going strong.

Concerning the Tundra, I own a 2014 SR5 that has 165,000 miles on it. I just completed a 2,200 mile round trip from the Florida Keys to where I live. I wasn't towing anything but had luggage in the truck with a couple of boxes of items. I averaged 22 miles per gallon. This was driving along from Ohio, through KY, TENN, GA, and then Florida, then returning from Florida up through SC, NC, VA and into WVA and into OH. Speed was mainly 70-80 mph (had a few traffic jams around Orlando on the way back and some stop and go getting to the Miami airport). What helped a ton was the fact that I have a tonneau cover and I am also using a high flow air filter by aFe. Cruise was set for a lot of the trip. I also do not have the larger fuel tank, I have the smaller one. When I left to drive down to Florida, my fuel range on a fill up had been around 345 miles (I drive a little bit of high with some city mixed in to get to work). When I completed the trip back at home, it had gone up to 391 miles per tank. Yes, pulling a trailer or driving in the city will hurt you BUT if you do highway driving in a Tundra, it isn't that bad considering how old the platform is and that its a V8. I was pleased and my father-in-law who is a die hard Ford guy was impressed as well. How I got my numbers was to save all of my receipts from the various gas stations on my drive to Florida and back. I added up the gallons and the miles driven (I had reset the mileage when I left). All in all, not too shabby!

EPA numbers are far off for me!

So yeah, I don't think its that bad.

If you don't need to daily drive a truck, let it sit until you actually need it. Because my 20 year-old Toyota Matrix finally crapped out, I have been driving my 2006 Ford F 250 with a V10. This truck gets around 11-12 mpg in normal driving empty. I did the math and bought a used Camry hybrid and the cost to drive the truck is about the same as a payment plus insurance and registration on the Camry. I parked the truck and now use it only when I actually need the truck. The Camry has been getting between 48 and 55 mpg.
