I have a 2007 Tundra 5.7 2WD - I average 20-21 mpg between Tucson and Phoenix keeping it on cruise @70-75 mph. It has 110,000 miles on the odometer - never had any serious issues- regular oil changes and maintenance is all! (Now, that’s not pulling a trailer- add a trailer and it drops to 11-13 mpg depending on size of trailer)
