#1 of 8 2005 tundra mileage by ezduzit

The tundra booklet and Edmunds says the 2005 V6 tundra rating is 18 in town and 22 highway. Can a buyer tell me if this is close?

We've started a series of topics on real world gas mileage numbers by vehicle, so I'm going to use your post as the start of the Tundra MPG topic.

I have an '05 double cab V8, drive 90% highway and am only getting 15-16 mpg. Only have 1,800 miles, hope it is just breaking in......

I've got the same with the same mileage and am only getting 14-15 mpg. Tried staying off the inerstate to keep the speed below 55 but still the same. Not impressed with this portion of the truck. All else is great. "Sweet Ride"

Does anyone out there know where you can get either a set of running boards or tubular steps for the double cab 2005 Tundra? All of the websites are real expensive and I'm not sure of the quality of these.

#6 of 8 2001 V8 Mileage by river7

I have a 2001 Tundra V8 Access Cab now with 59K miles and do 75% highway and have always gotten 16.5-17.8mpg......very consistent with me. I'm not too light on the pedal either.
 
I believe the 2005 has the bump in HP over the 2001 though.
 
What do you want from a 282hp V8.....16mpg isn't that bad. My buddy's F-250 is lucky to see double digits.

I hear ya, 16 mpg isn't bad for a full size truck. My last toyota gave me better than the window sticker mileage so I expected this one to at least meet it. Nothings free, you have to pay for the power.

I thought the 05's brought an extra gear and variable valve timing along with the extra HP & torque to improve mileage. I've got an 04 ext cab 4x4 that was rated 14/17 & the 05 version guesses 15/18.
 
Driving appx 65% highway, 25 around town, and 10 in 4x4, I've been hitting low 15's to low 16's each tank.
