If sales continue to decline, perhaps Toyota will reconsider and bring back the V6. Who knows. Their V6s were so bulletproof so it's hard to understand why they went this route. We do have a Sienna and at almost 100K miles that 6 still as smooth as silk.

That's some horrible fuel economy for a midsized truck. I can get 22-24 on the highway going 75-80 with my 5.0 V8 full sized truck. When I had the 2.7 ecoboost I could get 25-27. Unless for some reason you really, really need the smaller size there is not price, performance or efficiency reason to get a Tacoma.

Vacation In Florida from Indiana just got back a couple days ago. average 19.5. Which I was pretty impressed because I was running 80 miles an hour and I was driving a 2019 ram with a 5.7.

My wife averages 3 mpg less than I do in the same car on the same route 😂. Driving skill and habits play a huge role

Jill, Thank you for taking one in the butt for us. Ive had a host of Toyotas over the years and ALL of the seats sucked .'99 ,'05,'10 Camrys. '02,'07 Tundras. Been driving Ridgelines since '09. Subarus since ' 16 for the wife. But I'm the one with the sensitive keyster. Please do a Ridgeline test for long distance comfort.

Owners on the Tacoma forums have been getting 21-25mpg on the highway.

Pretty pitiful for a 4-cylinder engine on a mid-sized truck frame. Makes sense with a heavier box frame on a physically noticeably bigger/boxier body design.😳. Toyota Tacoma’s are becoming cheaper and cheaper as the years role on but unfortunately, the prices MSRPwise, are not cheaper.

Can never rely on the trip computers entirely. My Frontier’s trip computer is always off by 2-2.5 mpg. It’ll tell me I’m getting 24 mpg but in reality when calculated at the pump it is 21.5-22.

I’m going 70-80 miles an hour and I can’t understand the bad gas mileage? At least you’re not going 100mph. So you managed to get near the same MPG as TFL, a mile higher in elevation with actual mountains and hills. The elevation change on your trip plus or minus 2 feet. Bravo.

I like your comments on the seats and other features. However, I am an older guy and have had many vehicles during my life. You cannot rely upon the dashboard computer to calculate your fuel economy accurately. They are RARELY accurate. The only true way is to Fill, Drive, and Fill again at your stopping point. It's a waste to discuss the fuel mileage when you don't actually know how may gallons you used over how many miles. Great info on the rest of it, though!

My third gen does better.

That is disappointing. I have a 2005 Tacoma V6 4x4 with 230,000 miles on it and averages 21 to 23mpg. You would think in 20 years that they could have a little more improvement in mpg.

TFL got 26 MPG on their long distance trips with a '24 4x4

should you be driving 80MPH if the speed limit is 70MPH? LOL but yea that's not good for a 4 cylinder midsize, my Ram 1500 usually gets 20-21 MPH at those same speeds usually on that same road when I drive from Cincinnati to Wisconsin.

Driving at 70-80 mph you were probably pushing the turbo and hence the lower than expected fuel economy. My suggestion would be to invest in a BANKS IDASH DATA MONSTER. I know Tim has a super gauge but the data monster allows you to monitor and record a plethora of engine parameters. I would think that evaluating a vehicle’s performance on an extended trip would be greatly enhanced by using this gauge. Then you could tell your viewership what the engine load was at various speeds, what boost the turbo was running at… But maybe most folks aren’t interested in that level of understanding engine performance. A lot of people just say “all turbo engines are junk” but with little understanding of how they actually work. If your goal is to educate the consumer then the more facts you can provide may help some folks understanding of modern engine performance. Just a thought. 🤔

I had a 1986 Toyota pickup truck with the 2.4L 4 cylinder turbo engine ( 22RTE) with the 5-speed manual transmission, and it consistently got 19 mpg on my daily drive from Andersonville to Downers Grove. So after 38 years Toyota's 2.4L turbocharged engine still gets the same mileage.

Unless it's shaped more like a wing and less like a brick MPG is going to be much less then EPA if you are over 60mph. Wind resistance is a mofo. Fd = .5 ∗ p ∗ v 2 ∗ Cd ∗ A. Speed is a big part of the formula and it seems to go noticeably exponential over 45.

Without knowing what the terrain is like That fuel economy doesn’t sound that good for a midsize. Just today I did a 200 mile trip in a 6 year old half ton v8 and got 22.4 mpg

My thirty year old dodge diesel gets twenty two hauling a ton of material.

You can get that milage and better with almost any full size pickup currently made. Toyota has never been known for good milage in it's pickup trucks. It makes one wonder why that is!

Full size trucks do that good on fuel mileage. Bad mileage/ Toyota has messed up the Tacoma like they did the Tundra. I may be switching to Ford myself and I have always been a Toyota guy.

Why take an off road specific model (with heavy off road tires) on a freeway MPG loop? It's bizarre ( to me, my own opinion) how so many would be purchasers want an off road equipped vehicle when most rarely get used for that activity?

My 2022 TRD Sport 6-speed Manual V6 blows that out of the water where I live. I average 22'ish all day long even when driving. In town it is 18'ish which is better on both counts than this tiny turbo over stressed POS.

Terrible for 4cyl. V6 gets better mpg.

That is laughable considering 1/2 ton tucks are getting low 20's with V8's and the GM twins are in the low 30's with the 3.0 Duramax.

I average 27mpg on the highway in eco mode in 24 trd off road doing 70mph with plenty of hill driving.

About what I expected

That mileage is horrible for a mid size truck. My frontier gets over 23 on the highway and on back country roads I get as high as 27.

It blows my mind that these turbo charged mid size trucks get worse jobs than some of the full size trucks get

Needs to be a lot better.

I averaged 21.7mpg at the pump over 108,880K miles with my 2016 Tacoma TRD OR 4X4. The new engine is kind of disappointing. They will have to change their slogan from Let's Go Places to Let's go the the next gas station. 🥴😩

18.7 mpg and 19.3 mpg?? My 2023 Tundra gets over 17 mpg around the city and over 20 mpg on the highway at 70 mph + and it is a V6.

My 2018 Tacoma gets over 20mpg hwy. This is pretty bad

Everyone pointing out it's a 4 cylinder like it's your parents pinto. With the turbo charged engines they are producing a lot more power than 6 cylinder NA motors and as much as many 8 cylinders especially in torque numbers. There's only one way to do that and it's pushing air and fuel through the pistons. As reliable as the Toyota V6 boat anchor was it didn't produce a ton of power and got horrible gas mileage. The new 4 cylinders produce a lot more power I'm not sure why everyone thinks they should be getting a lot better gas mileage. I have the new Colorado and sold a supercharged V6 Toyota to buy it. I was sick of fighting the rust. That said the new Colorado has way more power and I can get 350 to 400 miles out of a tank as opposed to 200 in the Tacoma. Before I put on 33s I was easily getting 22 to 25 mpg mixed driving but bigger tires took a chunk out of that I might be getting 19 to 22 now.

I'll stick with my American made Ford Ranger.

Rented a similar model 2024 Tacoma TRD at Hertz a few months ago. More city driving than highway and hit about that same mileage. Overall, not impressed…motor was unrefined, ride was nothing special, and seating position was too low.

That screen is way too much. Drive in theater in your truck. The "Tacoma" on the dash is fugly. That MPG is horrible.

At 70 to 80 mph & u did get 19.3 per gallon, I think that it is ok ok.

I'm ok with the 19.3 mpg. It's an offroad oriented truck. This mileage is totally acceptable with the ride height, aggressive tires, and gearing. (Of course, I'm used to getting that type of mileage on my pickups so...)
