REAL WORLD Texas Highway MPG Test - SUPRISING Results - 2024 Tacoma 

Good to see real MPGs on real TX roads, just a little disappointed to see very similar numbers from previous Tacomas.

great video. can appreciate that you gave it a real world test dealing with wind, traffic, etc. glad to see the urban mpg test, most channels gloss right over this. was shocked to see the urban mpgs higher, but you showed the math. 👍

Surprisingly my 2019 SR5 gets better mpg. 35miles drive to work i get 20 to 21 mpg at 70mph and 22 mpg at 65mph speed limit in NV highway. Total full tank range of 365 to 370 miles per full tank, 2 clicks fueling style also 👌

I think thats definately low mpg for a redesigned 4cyl turbo. I can average 21/22 mpg in my 2022 trd off road over long highway trips at speeds between 65/80 mph on regular round trips from NY to Fla on Rte 95.

Ordering a taco. Good to see a local mpg test.

I have a 21 Taco and I consistently drive the speed limit everywhere and I average 20-22 MPG so how you can say the previous model gets 17 is simply untrue. This new truck is absolutely getting no better mileage than my 21. Also, in towing 4500-5000 lbs I average 10 mpg towing.

I was expecting little higher 😂😂😂

Great real world test! That is exactly what we need to see. Have you considered doing the same test while towing 2000-3000 pounds? I am curious if it can get better than 14 mpg

Cruise control wastes more gas guys

The fuel numbers don’t seem too bad, I thought turbo engines usually exceed their highway EPA numbers. I do have one thing I’m curious about, why do you fill it until it clicks, wait 20 seconds and fill it more, I think most companies say to stop at the first click, and over filling can cause EVAP system issues down the line.

Plus all 2024 Tacoma gas tank is only 18.2 gas tank, vs 3rd gen 21.1 gas tank. Meaning more stops at gas stations…

My 21 gets 22-23 hwy, usually around 18-19 city

Thank you for the Canadian shout out!

My 2021 Nissan Titan gets 22 mpg on the highway.

The only reason to buy a mid size truck is better maneuverability and they take up a little less space in garages and driveways. Fuel economy is only marginally better than full size, if not the same or worse.

That’s kinda disappointing. My Ram 1500 Classic Hemi will do 23-25 mpg on the highway cruising at 70 mph.

I'm in San Antonio and yea the mpg is disappointing. I'm doing 16 mpg in the city. I love my 24 Tacoma TRD Off Road regardless.

Urban drive is getting 21 is damn good for a midsize. I has two 3rd gen trd offroads and they got between 15-17 in mixed driving and i hypermile a lot. That is terrible. Dont tell me the 3.5 v6 is better cause I have lots of time behind the steering wheel driving. Both were all stock on stock tires and wheels

I get 21 to 21 1/2 mi per gallon every week(hand calculated)driving back and forth to work with my 19 Tacoma TRD Off-road.

Less than my 22 Frontier 4x4 king cab V-6. Another reason that these turbo 4’s are not the best idea.

I wish you guys had an mpg test here in Los Angeles California,

I got 25.1 on my 2024 Tacoma sport on my recent trip

20 mpg is expected once speeds climb beyond 75.

Oh man if I only was smarter with my money 😂 I really want the new Taco 🌮

any plans on a 2025 Ram video?? thanks!

Any rattles or whistling wind noise?

If you ask me using cruise control is worse on MPG than using your foot. But that’s me using older vehicles that just crank on the gas if you slow down on a hill.

2022 trd sport 22.1 mpg 1 occupant at 70 mph, with a fiber flex tonneau cover on it. Current mpg numbers on the new truck are unremarkable at best.

Not putting the smaller hybrid as a third engine option for the Tacoma was a massive mistake. Not even looking at this truck as an option.

Guys! 20 mpgs on the highway is horrible! I have the 3.5 6cyl and I get 24 mpgs on the highway and I have a 21 gallon tank. This is a disappointment.😮

Let’s see what the hybrid gets, when it’s available. This isn’t a huge improvement.

Love your reviews. Live in the Rockwall area here.

Funny how these little trucks mpg is no better than my full size F150 (that has more HP and TQ)

Is there a reason why you didn't give which model you were using? SR5, Sport, OffRoad, 4WD? Come on, that's basic stuff!

3rd gens for the win! (again).

I can get 21 in my 4.0 6 at 65-70 mph

Here in Los Angeles if the city mpg is 20 normally will be 2 miles below 20 city mpg

The urban test with only twenty plus miles is too small a sample to be accurate giving you a large margin of error with the fill and refill method. The trucks mpg is probably more accurate. There are fewer variables as the trucks meters fuel used and distance traveled the same each time whereas filling and refilling can be off depending on pump used, ambient temperature, truck sitting level or the presence of a gas bubble even though you waited 20 seconds. By the way TFL truck waits 30 seconds!😂 Your numbers are better when compared to a gen 3 TRD off road. My son has a 2023 and struggles to get 16 mpg with mixed driving. I have a 2020 TRD Sport 2wd and seldom get less than 20mpg with mixed driving and get 21 to 26 mpg highway. I recorded 28.5 mpg on the Natchez Trace Parkway with the cruise set at 55. The speed limit is 50. There are no stop lights or stop signs. There are also no major climbs or sharp curves that require slowing. It was a straight 55 for over 100 miles. There was no traffic I had to slow for.

Once you exceed 60mph in any vehicle, mpg plummets.

I thought all Americans drive in the left lane no matter how slow you drive

Wow that is a HUGE disappointment 😂 maybe in another 10 years guys we’ll finally get a mid-sized truck that doesn’t Hoover fuel.

Our gas in California is much better than Texas gas! Ours costs at least $1.70 per gallon more. It must be better! Right?😂

Just like the tundra. WTF Toyota!

Real world test is as follows…no Tacomas on the lot. Lame.

My buddy's 2021 F150 2.7L Turbo does better in term of gas mileage. And it is a bigger truck.

I'm not sure if 17 mpg average to 21 mpg average is a huge victory. It's going in the right direction but still.... My Hybrid Maverick got 40 MPG all day!

This test is not Good, you will never do better mileage if you mix city driving and highway, you have to test it for a whole week drive to work and back home, go to store to Get something , stop at the bank etc. and then show me 20 mpg and I buy 1, if you get 14 you will be lucky

This new made in Mexico 4cyl/turbo/hybrid garbage Tacoma already broke down on TFL Off Road

lol trash highlander engine, its a garbage crossover engine

Well I run premium on my tuned ECU 3rd gen and I get great mpgs . I'll run premium on my tuned 4th gen in 2025 or 2026 when all the bugs are fixed . Regardless of what you say . Come on guys you know it will get better mpgs with premium. Can't believe this bs

Toyota are a bunch of idiots should added the Sienna hybrid engine in the access cabs for service trucks pool,gardeners,painters , ect services people 36 mpg all day
