And what do you get without that trailer? That's how this works. Old engines were about as efficient with a trailer as modern engines. Where the modern engines have improved dramatically is their unloaded MPG's. Thats why you always hear people say things like "My old Ford 460 used to get 11mpg unloaded and 10mpg towing". The engines were so wildly inefficient when not under load that they were barely any better without the trailer. Unless you are towing more often than not, a modern engine will save you on gas overall.

No it wouldnt. The V8 tundra was WAY behind in MPG's. If you put the 10 speed in it, it might do a little better but I bet it would still be worse than the current Ram, which is worse than the Ecoboost and GM V8's . It would need cylinder deactivation and possibly direct injection like GM and Ram are utilizing to get close. Even with that technology the V8's can only match a TTV6. Toyota probably realized that the V8 was not a better solution from a complexity, reliability, or power standpoint. So, pick your poison. TT V6 that makes 480 ft-lbs of torque at 2400 rpm and gets good MPG or a 5.7L with displacement on demand, direct injection and 410 tq at 3600 rpm. Both are complex.
@jmendoza17602 жыл бұрын
@@Jay-me7gw 5.7 V8 is multiport fuel injection. If Toyota added direct injection with multiport, like some of their other engines, would definitely increase horsepower. 20 - 21 MPG is realistic with a 10 speed and adding direct injection. My preference, would opt by far, for a non turbo engine. Wait & see what it will cost to replace those turbos. Definitely will not last as long as many reporting 700k - 1,000,000 mile V8 trucks with regular maintenance. With No major repairs!!!! Dealers are saying cab needs to be removed to access turbos. Probably going to cost owners 10k for those repairs outside of warranty. I don’t consider 23 mpg significant improvement on the new V6.

Fuel economy will come down to how much power you need to do the job it takes x amount of fuel to do x amount of work and overall efficiency of design. Would come down to long term durability more than anything else less stress on a large displacement V8 than a small or any displacement for that matter with power adder. It's really quite simple more boost is more air and fuel and more cylinder pressure to get more or the same output of a Naturally Aspirated large displacement engine, your just putting around town not loading your truck much you'll likely see pretty significant MPG gains and decent long term durability by forced induction smaller displacement engines. It's pretty tough to successfully make gains in all areas better off just picking the right tool for the job. The EPA has destroyed diesels mpg, durability and reputation now their on to gas engines sad 😔. Realistically your best option for overall performance is a stripped down base model new vehicles are stupidly overweight with all their features and that takes energy to move. 👌

It beat the Ram with 3.92's towing the Black Series trailer on the same day by a considerably amount, and it beat both the Ram and Grand Wagoneer by a healthy margin when they did the MPG test towing this F100. It also has beat the Powerboost towing the same trailer on the same day. I don't think you can pull much more energy out of a gallon of gasoline than the tundra is. The only way to get better MPG's is diesel, and then you are looking at a higher cost of fuel, so it doesnt really save you much.

Heck, my fathers 2020 Tundra never got better than 12 mpg with an empty trailer. Personally I think it was because of the built in brake controller that didn’t seem to ever work properly. It kept giving me a dash board message saying could not detect brake controller but it was plugged in and aside from the trailer brakes not working the truck was constantly in much lower gear than it should have been. At one point I realized that if I put it in manual mode and shifted it into the top gear it was finally working easier and it never really needed to shift down but anytime I let the TCM shift on it’s own that it would never go into anything other than 4th gear even when going down hill with my foot off the gas.

There’s no diesel option coming, Toyota already said the cost of the pollution control system is cost prohibitive.

Huh? What truck is this, Standard cab 2WD with an aluminum body? The 7.3L is a good diesel for mpg but its not that good. I have a 03 F250 Lariat crew cab and 15mpg combined empty. I get 9 mpg towing a 25ft TT that weighs 5K lbs at 65 mph. Just curious.

@@RocHopn Yeah, two wheel drive crew, dually with an auto. 100k, full 4” exhaust, 6637 air filter and a tuner. 1800 rpm running 60 mph, uphill or flat, it never revs higher or downshifts. Now in Texas running 85 mph it got around 10ish mpg but, that’s extreme with 14k gross weight.

unhook that trailer and see how the F250 rides vs this truck or any other 1/2 ton. the F250 rides like a brick.

Andre, I know you said that truck is pleasant to drive long distances but from the first drive video of this truck, do you still ever find yourself wishing that seat bottom was longer?

Not a solution for everybody but the seats in the platinum and up have an adjustment to make the under leg portion longer.

Towing at his speeds with the turbos spooled up the whole time is going to suck down fuel. I really don't think the new engine is going to be much better fuel wise than the old 5.7 V8 towing heavy loads. Normal unloaded driving yeah, it's going to be significantly better. Just like with a compact car with a small turbo 4 cylinder, if you keep in the power band it's going to go through just as much fuel as a larger naturally aspirated engine.

@@jblyon2 I Agree. It's not much different than an Ecoboost, where you either get the eco or the boost, but not both at the same time.

I don't tow often but my 2018 Sequoia 4x4 gets 12ish mpg towing a 3,500 lb enclosed single axle cargo trailer at around 65-70 mph. At 80 mph it gets around 10 mpg. Not really impressed by the new v6 turbo but I wasn't expecting much after seeing how useless the other gas saving features on engines from different manufacturers have been with cylinder deactivation, start/stop, and even variable compression.
