MAIDEN VOYAGE Fuel Economy in my new 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I discuss the fuel economy of my brand new 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition. My trip from Del Rio Texas to my house was exactly 1,000 miles. This was the maiden voyage of my Land Cruiser. She handled the roads beautifully… but the MPGs are a bit bleak, haha. BUT we don’t buy these vehicles for their fuel economy. The thirsty 5.7L V8 is known for reliability, not conserving gas. =]
What’s the worst fuel economy you’ve ever experienced and in what vehicle? Would you take 12-15 mpg in exchange for bulletproof reliability? My 2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro and 2023 Tundra TRD Pro both got 16-19 mpg. My Tundra got worse fuel economy because of its larger 35in KO2 tires. The Sequoia got around 18-19. So the Land Cruiser here isn’t muuuuch worse even compared to the V6 hybrids. 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching as always…
-Stay Untamed…

Nice LC! The white 5 seater heritage is my daily driver. Don't sell this one again! You'll 1,000% regret it.

Nice! I don’t plan on it! Made that mistake too many times now.
I drove around the country last year, 13,400 miles and averaged 15.4 mpg, with an extra 800 lbs. didn't drive fast, and on two lane roads. so there is hope
Mileage: 1393 Fuel: 88.45 gallons Total: $311.57 Average cost: $3.52 per gallon (87) MPG:15.74 70-85 MPH

Legendary vehicle. Don’t ever get rid of her!
I almost bought that! I'm stationed in Del Rio with Border UnControl. I can't believe you paid over sticker, but to each their Own. Leave the Basket on it looks cool!
So funny, same car, same background in Wyoming, I almost didn’t click on the video cause at first glance it looks identical to a video from 2020! 😂. Love the LC. Glad to see it back in the fold!

After about 7000 miles I'm now averaging 14 mpg ! but we don't have a speed limit on some highways here so you can take a guess how I drive 😅 God i hate how they polished your seats 😤She's a keeper this one. Don't wait for the 300. The 200 is as good as it gets !

Definitely that split gate is much more handy and just better. You know what else we noticed with that one piece gate. It ratted on higher speed desert roads ! 😅 when the 200 is always dead silent 🤐 So there ya go 😄
Good move. Super nice!
Good deal untamed- shes a keeper- all these new models with turbos and hybrid batteries are no way as smooth or dependable long term,sure there better on fuel and less carbon foot print per the EPA, but when the turbos and batteries need replacement their big bucks installed.

100% agree. The whole EV thing is being pushed way too hard for me to want to succumb to it. I’ll stick with the thirsty naturally aspirated V8 here.

I did drive a 2023 tundra platinum non-hybrid today, and I have to admit, I was impressed with the power and the ride quality of it. It’s not the 3ur-fe, but they did good getting power out of that 3rd generation power plant,I do still wish they would have offered the V8 in the new body style and gave us the option between both.
Love the land cruiser! Beautiful rig. How do aquire all such nice rigs? Better yet all 3?!😭🔥

Do you plan on keeping the Yakima roof basket? It seems out of place. Does it affect the MPG?
@UntamedMotors
Жыл бұрын
I’ll likely swap it out for a different roof rack …although tbh I really like the look of the Yakima basket here. =\ I just won’t be able to upgrade the tires and have it still fit in my garage. I think it does hinder the mileage by 1-2 mpg too.
