i drink a bottle of techron before the gym and i can lift 20% heavier than my regular set

Buying my first Taco tomorrow! You've been a life saver as far as looking in to mods. Thanks for being so concise, clear, and helpful.

biggest improvement to mpg will come from driving a few MPH slower than usual. i cruise at 60-65, never over 70 as the wind resistance compounds at higher speeds. takes your MPGs from the teens to over 20, just by slowing down a bit.

Keeping the injectors clean and air filter clean and proper tire inflation are excellent suggestions. My basics over many decades were free flowing exhaust, Air intake kit, & bed cover. Cleaning injectors and air filter and tire pressure are part of maintenance. Most young people never take a shop class and your suggestions are leading them in the right direction. Keep up the videos!

I live in eastern Canada and I just bought a new Tacoma off road truck and I have to say I learned so much from your videos. I just want to personally thank you for your advice.

Worked at an autoshop and that was all we used and we have always had alot of great feed back from our customers.

My snorkel has raised my fuel mileage by 2 mpg on my 2020 PRO. I have a heavy overland build and got 24 on a long freeway run.

I own a 2020 Tacoma SR5 4x4 with 15000 miles, I use premium gas, and went with TRD PRO air filter system, and Techron treatment and I went from 18 MPG to 24 mpg. Thank you for the tip

I have a Tacoma, I live near Otay Mountain and I’m trying to work up the nerve to go out there alone like you do! Thanks for your videos:)

I just put some in my 18 Silverado before I left on a road trip from Michigan to California, and by the time i made it to Long Beach I was was getting 3 to 4 mpg more, a little over 25 mpg. I have approx. 40,000 miles on my truck. I also changed both my differentials and my transfer case and transmission to Amsoil products. Made a huge difference as well.

I love how smart you are Chloe.

All great tips! One of the biggest things for me has been driving less aggressively. I am getting 19.5 in town and 23.8 on the highway. Of course idling and heavy traffic chop those numbers down, idling nets 0 mpg....they are building homes/apts like crazy in CFL, so I guess they aren’t worried about any of that here. Thanks!

Cool video. I have a 2007 4.0L V6 Tacoma Prerunner 4x4 with 250k no issues. I avg 22.5mpg 20 city and 25 hwy and it’s on 285/75R16. I would recommend the following to improve: Tire pressure, oil (full synthetic), oil filter, change all spark plugs (Iridium), remove the weight (spare tire and other items not needed) install cold air intake, install oil catch can, clean Mass air flow sensor, check O2 Sensors and coolant . The two most important task is buying the proper gas (Oct 87 is fine higher Oct only cleans out roughy idles patches) from proper gas stations (cheap gas little to no detergent). I use Exxon, they have additives in the fuel already. Same goes for Chevron, Shell and Cosco gas (40 CFR Part 80). Become a member if you use only one store all the time to off set the prices and save. Lastly after 10k miles you want to clean your intake values. Tacoma are Gasoline Direct Injection which means your values build up from carbon overtime. Walnut blasting is recommended but you can buy Intake cleaner and vacuum it through a engine hose line vs adding it to the fuel tank. Not to discourage your video but only 20% of the additives work when you add them through the gas tank. If your engine is a PFI then you benefit more. Driving habits is also a big issue in mpg. Higher rpm more gas so keep your RPM less than 2500. I drive 80mph on Texas roads and get about 20mpg every time. Tip: Less than 45mph windows open or down. Greater than 50 mpg AC on. Sorry I was trying to keep it short and compact I hope this advice helps some of Yall out.

Wow, you got a Techron sponsorship?! You're really off to a fast start!

Get tuned! More fun to drive, and I get maybe ~0.5 bump in mpg. But I offset it with more gas pedal nowadays haha

I've always used Lucas fuel treatment or seafoam. Mom used the techron on her car and it helped but Lucas has always done good for me

Just bought the exact same truck ( ‘19 trd off road in silver with 25,000 miles ) last week and then came across your video, i like your style!

I use Techron every time I change my oil! Best cleaner on the market! 👍🏻 Awesome video! 👌🏻

The techron stuff is the best cleaner I've used, before my Tacoma I drove a hand me down Honda minivan. Out of the handful of cleaners I've used, Techron seems to work the best due to its P.E.A content... went from 16 to 18mpg within 3,000ish miles. 👍

I live in north carolina in a small town. The speeds are around 55mph. I usually average about 22 to 22.5 mpg. I rode from my town to Grandfather mountain( 226 miles one way.) And i got 24.6 mpg at speeds of 55 to 65mph. That's the best I've gotten by far. My truck only has 12200 on it and it's a 2020.

If you actually want to notice a difference go with BG 44K. This is a way better additive. It runs about 30 dollars and you will see a difference after just one tank of gas. I've used techron and it's better than most but BG 44K is the way to go.

I've been using Tech Ron for many years it's a great product Fantastic video with good information love those KO2 tires

Great videos just got my Tacoma and still deciding how to upgrade my 🌮. But you have some great ideas thanks for making this vids and helping us new tacoma owners get some ideas

I dont own a tacoma but its so informative to know all these tips. I’m closer to owning one, one day 🙏. Thanks for sharing!

Nice vid... btw, Amsoil P.I. Is another great fuel treatment. I’ve done before and after intake manifold removals and it makes the intake runners (wherever the fuel injectors spray) looks brand new (previously thick gunk/carbon buildup). Also lowers emissions (again, proven with smog checks with and without it...) Been using it now in all my cars for last 15 yrs...👍 ...but looks like Techron has your back. 🤙

How's that Hydrosilex holding up on your Tacoma ? Is it still beading up like crazy ? Can you please give us an update how that $60 bottle of Ceramic "off road" spray holds up after you clay barred and then used Hydrosilex ? Please , Thank you

I currently own a 2011 Taco with 311k miles on it. I don’t use fuel additives as these days almost every fuel already has additives/cleaners in it. My buddy is a mechanic with over 40 years of experience and he told me that the additives aren’t necessary due to the cleaners the fuel these days already have. Tire pressure, air filter and driving habits are the best way to improve mpg.

My 13 Taco, I use K&N air filter and RXP fuel additive (only offered in N. Texas). I am very pleased with these products.

I have a 2007 Camry. You do not get better fuel mileage with higher air pressure, you get less. The previous owner of my car had the air set at 40psi for every tire. As soon as changed it back to down to 35 psi, fuel economy improved immediately. Too much air pressure per tire makes your ride drink more, not less.

My 2020 4x4, V6 Tacoma Access Cab with a 6 foot bed gets 26.8 MPG doing 68 MPH, on the freeway. In town I get 19.7 MPG, stop and go and up to 45 MPH. I have the Firestone Destination Tires set at 32 PSI. And it hits 60 MPH very fast and sounds great. I think that the tires are the best way to improve MPG. I would not waste my time with much else. All my other new Toyotas 4x4s had the big tires and never better than 19 MPG. I do not do a lot of off road with these tires, but it has never let me down on the trail.

I really haven't seen a difference with my car's performance using these additives every 6 - 10 months (every oil change). So that's a good thing!

I use Dextron 3 as a fuel injector cleaner because it's cheap and it also cleans the spark plugs, valves and pistons, put it in before you fill up and run the vehicle down to a quarter tank before filling up again. I promise you it will not hurt any part of your truck. I use it in my 07 Tacoma and my 09 Matrix and my 2016 Rouge. You will notice a little boost in power because the transmission fluid will lubricate the cylinder walls. I also went with a K&N air filter.

This stuff actually makes a small difference. I've been a mechanical engineer for 40 years and am highly skeptical about this kind of stuff. But Advance Auto Parts had a buy one, get one free special so I figured "why not?". My 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad has a little over 85,000 miles on it and I typically average about 20.3 MPG (stock size KO2s, bed cover, manual transmission). The tank with the additive is averaging 20.6 MPG - so about a 1.5% increase in fuel economy. This is kind of surprising since modern vehicles have a lot of engineering to optimize fuel economy - it's hard to squeeze out anything extra. The engine may be running smoother, I'll have to pay more attention next trip. It'll be interesting to see if the improvement persists across multiple tanks of gas.

Not exceeding the speed limit and don't tailgate to avoid hard braking and re-accelerations saves gas and reduce wear on your brake pads. I sound like my dad now.

Tacoma is awesome. One of the best pick-ups for off-road. Thank you Chloe :)

Want better MPG? Check out the custom OV Tune by SiBi Built in SoCal! Smoother powerband, better throttle response, eliminates transmission gear hunting and gives you better MPG! Customizable for added weight/accessories, tire size, regearing and fuel grade. I got it for my truck and it definitely made a huge difference.

This stuff does makes a difference on my 2014 2.7L Tacoma Prerunner compared to any other fuel cleaner. Engine runs much smoother and gas lasts longer.

Great tips Chloe!! I need to do a fuel system cleaner. The biggest MPG difference for me was getting my truck OV tuned (about 2-3 MPG increase city driving) so I'd definitely recommend that as a "mod" to anyone who is still needing better MPG after doing the stuff you mentioned.

That additive isn't doing squat to boost your tacoma gas mileage

be nice to have a hybrid version of trucks from toyota.

Just got those wheels for my 23 TRD off road. Same color paint. Nice to see how they are gonna look. While I wait to have them mounted.

I’m from Fiji 🇫🇯 and own a Toyota Sequoia. Best off road tracks in the world. Nice videos yo

Techron is great. Use it 2x per year in all my cars. Keeps the injectors clean. I use Marvel or Lucas in the gas on the regular with an occasional seafoam. I use them all. Might be a waste of money. Have nothing to compare not using these products. I change the oil with mobil one 15k oil with a mobil one 15k filter every 5k miles. I am a maintenance fanatic. To keep your truck tip top only costs a few dollars more averaged out. Have a 22 TRD Off Rd on order and I plan on bring buried in it. It's gonna go 1 mil miles at a minimum.

My son met you in Colorado and he's been in love ever since

I’m lucky to get 18mpg in my tundra.. lol if it’s a tank full of just driving to work it’s 11 mpg... v8 life

I think it's cool that a huge Multi-Billion dollar corporation sponsored your video. That says something about you (intelligent, articulate, capable, beautiful). Just bought a Chevy Silverado Trail Boss, but still haven't taken it off road yet. It's more of a "city truck" for now until I break it in. I did get a pressure washer though (which I love : )

Another way to get better mpg's is to Have the throttle body cleaned and to do a fuel injection cleaning service on your truck every 15k miles. That can be done at your local toyota dealership..

Excellent product been using it for years

Thanks Chloe Ill have to give this stuff a try 👍 Idk if you thought about getting a tune but id highly recommended it. My truck did not like me adding weight to it, the transmission was not happy lol. It greatly reduces gear hunting, which allowed my truck to drive much smoother. My Mpgs also went from around 16-17 to 20-21 on 285/75/16s 😊

I've used this additive called "fuel injector pro by 104" and it really works well lol

I can't wait for the new generation Tundra's, Tacos and 4runners that will get 30+ MPG. These 14 mpg trucks will be absolete by 2025. Good vid! Techron does help with mpg and keeps the engine running smooth had it on my 01' VQ35 truck. 👍

Shoutout to Glen Helen Parkway in the video! We should hit Cleghorn Trail sometime it’s a super great trail

Straight piping improves mpg, performance and acoustics

My Tacoma doesn't like full-throttle accelerations, happiest to slowly come up to speed and just cruise along. Back roads at 60 mph are much nicer drives than trying to keep it at 80 mph on interstate (yes, I am in Texas). Oh, the worst ride I had was after picking up my Tacoma. Cold icy roads, kept thinking "boy this suspension is harsh". Two weeks later I discovered 60 psi in all four tires! The door sticker listed 30 psi recommended.

As always great advice air filter upgrade in my Tundra TDR off-road 2021! I thought yours would get better than that 17 on highway for me and town 14! Just went down to North Carolina 16.8 down and 17.2 way back here in Massachusetts! You brighten up my day keep up the good work!

I am currently getting 22mpg in my Tacoma

Can we see some bloopers over the years? I think it’ll be beneficial for your channel.

Most smiles per gallon = Tacoma+MX-5 Miata. Thanks for the video!

Just finished scraping the carbon build-up off the bbq grill. I can imagine the build-up in the average engine after thousands of miles. Especially with all the low speed stop and go traffic these days.

The biggest creator of carbon is in running an engine for short rides, where the engine doesn't get up to its normal operating temperature, so your riding on the highway for an hour is actually good for it vs. just doing just some local short runs into town and such. Also too, the Tacoma engine uses a fuel system called D-4S, shorthand for direct-injection four-stroke gasoline engine Superior version, which employs both direct- and port-fuel injection depending on need and load. While Direct injection is notorious for carbon buildup on the intake valves, the port injection helps wash the intake valves off. It's the best of both worlds. Running those aggressive tires certainly isn't going to help your milage any. Then don't forget, changing the tire diameter messes up your speedometer reading as well, so look up the correction factor for the tire diameter you are running. Running a good Tier 3 gasoline, like Chevron is good as well, especially w/its Techron in it. Then use gasoline from a well-used gasoline station vs. one that isn't, is good too. The well-used one has a good circulation of fresh new gasoline in its tank vs. a non-populator one, which has fuel sitting in its tank for a long time, which gets old, and moisture collects in it as well. I've got a 2020 Tacoma Extended Cab TRD 4x4 Sport w/a 6 speed manual transmission, w/stock tires, w/the tire pressures set at 35 psi, and I've gotten around 24 mpg doing 70 in cruise control. Of course, that varies when it comes to hills and such.

Don’t forget to replace your blinker fluid! Lol! Great video!!

Have a 2017 SR 4x4 double cab with 37000 miles, including a Tonneau cover. Tires are 265/70R17. I've added Techron to other vehicles, but not this one, keep my tire pressure like you do, and have the regular filter. I average 24 mpg on the highway.

I've heard that you shouldn't use the fuel additive because the cars and trucks are still new and can mess up the fuel system

I've been using Techron for years and it keeps my injectors and combustion chambers clean, which equates to better fuel milage and less mechanical issues down the road. (Pun intended)

The first mode everyone should do is regear! 488or 529 gears! Better mpg and you will finally use the six-gear in the transmission!

Great suggestions! One thing - rolling resistance has to do with the off-center center of mass compared to the axel when driving, not the friction coefficients. This is because rubber expands slower than it contracts, so it has an uneven profile when rolling on the ground, and lower psi’s can amplify this effect

I use Chevron gas and the fuel injector cleaner regularly too. Recently put larger tires on my truck so mileage and gas is off now.

Get a tune at Sibi Built In socal it will completely change the way the truck drives!

We just drove from Ohio to Florida on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport pretty much like yours by driving sensibly we had gotten 27 MPG that is doing the speed limit at 70 with no problems combination we were getting 22 MPG but that is a good idea for fuel additive it does help but if you want more horsepower there’s other tricks then using a tuner by getting bigger fuel pump bigger injectors

Love it!! I have a White 2004 Sequoia too

All I did was change to ko2, same size tire, and lost about 2-3mpg. Couldn't be happier!

Awesome video my friend!! We've been lucky here in Canada so far with gas prices, staying lower thankfully (still kinda expensive but hasn't shot up yet).

Going to give this a try

I’d be more than happy if I was getting up the 20’s in my 19 Tundra. Best I got was 16.3 lol 😆

That is the nicest tacoma Seattle trucks

chloe needs the KDMAX Performance Tune!!!!

You should invest in a locking gas cap. I got mine at Advance Auto Parts.

Looks like I will have to try this! Never heard of it before, thank you !! :)

The best way to get the most MPG out of Tacoma is not to drive them.

I’m only getting 7-10mpg in the Tacoma in city driving. Please Any reason for drastically low mpg. Now I’ve seen it get 5-6

I have a 2021 V6 sport manual trans. 4wd. I have stock size BFGoodrich ko2s. I get 21 MPG at 70 mph and 27 MPG of 55 miles per hour.

Hi Chloe, if you really want to clean out the carbon you should use seafoam. You put 1 ounce for each quart of oil in your engine and the rest in the gas. You do this 150 miles before you change the oil. As the truck accumulates mileage you can also pour it through one of the vacuum lines going into the intake. For a more thorough carbon cleaning. They have videos on yt showing how it's done through the intake

I use Berryman B12 Got the Spark Plugs changed on 2015 Nissan Rogue at 80, 000 miles and still very clean but I started using Berryman B12 at 50,000 miles On my other vehicles I used Seafoam or Gumout but I prefer Berryman B12 now

I get 30 mpg when I go cruise control between 60-65 on freeway with my 2020 4x4 Tacoma.

Thumbnail love 😍

Is there a difference that makes a difference? Best case is they don’t damage gaskets, seals, & etc. Doesn’t the Atkinson engine clean itself ?

You may not know this, but Keanu Reeves’ legs were so strong in the movie Speed, he pushed the Jaguar off course beyond what the passenger could compensate for when he jumped from the Jag onto the bus.

Keep up the good work Great videos Happy 4 th of July

Thanks for this video, can this fuel additive also be used in a second generation Tacoma (2005-2015) with the 4.0 engine

Have you looked into putting headers into your truck? They say it gets you better mpg or added horsepower.

I use a can of SeaFoam in my gas tank every time I change the oil. Works wonders

You should try the Sibi tune from Jason Sibilio. It’s worth it that alone put me well above 21MPGs on 33’s and it has a better throttle response as well

Hi. What kind of running broad do you recommend Toyota Tacoma access cab?

Cool! 😊👍

Nice Gas Cap Holder 😎

Does your truck even use it's top gear with those tires on it?

I miss sub $3 gas. Idgaf about mean tweets

If you want real fuel economy in a 3rd gen Toyota Tacoma, you need a tune. Not just any tune, a KDMax tune. Look it up on FB, Tacoma owners. This is a public service announcement. Chloe, your videos are pretty cool too, but Techron only goes so far. Seriously, please look up the KDMax.

Try Mobil 1 AFE (adv. fuel economy) 0w20 oil also.

1:45 I’m interested in that radio setup
