4.7L gas mileage - TundraTalk.net

Mntbiker · 03-15-2008, 04:06 PM

I just bought a used 2003 4.7L Tundra Limited and after checking the mpg for the last 5 tanks I had a low of 14 and a high of 15mpg. These miles were all local with some highway. Easy driving with the gas pedal as well. The TRD exhaust and Volant CAI I put on had no effect on mpg.

Whats everyone averaging with the older style Tundra's?

I have a 2006 Limited 2 wheel drive. I am getting 17.5-17.9 with mostly highway miles. I am considering trying a KN filter. Seems the tundra is geared fairly low. Anybody ever had the rear end gear changed? Love my truck just wished it was getting closer to 20 mpg.

I have an '06 double cab and average 18.

Seems like you guys are doing alot better than me. I assume you have a 4.7 too. Hey SACSR you mentioned a K&N filter. If you go with the CAI set up I wish you well because my buddy put one on and I put a Volant and we both now have "Check engine " light on. Even if I reset it by disconnecting the battery the light comes back after 150 miles. Seems like the MAF sensor is NG now. From what I've read it gets damaged from the oil thats on the filters that are used in the CAI. Truck sounds great but no gas MPG increase.

I have a 4.7 but I also drive pretty easy. Also have a KN.

I get anywhere from mid 14's with city/highway to high 17's with mostly highway driving.

SmokeEater · 03-21-2008, 04:57 PM

I've had mine since December and I consistently get 14-15 in the city and I'll get 16-17 on the freeway.

I have a 2001 Tundra AC V8. It's bone stock. I get about 400 miles on a full tank. Thats about 18mpg city/hwy driving mixed every time I fill up. It has been constant since I bought the truck 2 years ago. I also drive pretty easy, keeping it under 2000rpm.

I have an 05 4.7 4 door 2wd limited, and i get about 17 mpg all the time. have had the truck for about 6 months. flowmaster and a drop in K&n filter. otherwise stock except snugtop sl lid.

Disconnect the battery for at least 40 min. This will reset ecu and start the learn process for your driving habits. You may be surprised and your fuel mileage gain (or loss) with your driving habits

I have a 2000 4.7 SE5 TRD 4x4, I drive 7 miles to get to town then drive around 10-15 miles and then 7 more miles to get home, I get 15 MPG.
when I pull the two horse trailer with O/D turned off I get 10 MPG, I never go over 58 MPH 'in tow'. Or any other time for that matter,, I have now idea how this truck rides or sounds over 68 MPH, LOL ( I have driven cars and trucks over 125 MPH on highways and country roads, so this is not an OLD MAN problem I have if anyone wonders).
My brother from another mother is a certified Toyota mech (19 + years). he told me to turn it off when pulling much of any kinda load. So I screw those lost MPG's to save my tranny.
Hope this helps on several levels, Columbia
