I have a close friend that works for my local Ford dealership and he told me 30mpg for the 2.7L
I'm highly interested in the actual numbers. I love my fuel efficient GLI right now, but I want to get rid of my old F150 and the car. Ha
I need a fuel efficient truck for snowboarding and long hunting trips. My current truck is only 12-15mpg

I am a little disappointed with no change in the 3.5 TT power ratings. A little tune tweaking would improve the numbers and the driving. I would also like some details on the improved cooling that allows the center mount licence plate. Bigger IC, remove blocking plates, relocate the IC higher up?

The toyota 5.7L is way more torquey than the ford 5.0l across the entire rpm and also makes more peak power. So not sure what your argument is.
As far as the low MPG i believe the higher optioned tundras come with 4:10 rear gears, larger tires and a much higher tow rating than any 5.0L equipped truck. If toyota wanted to take the ***** off their truck to get marginally better fuel economy they would. With their sales being what they are, probably doesnt fit in the business model.

Retired and loving it!
So according to you.... PRINTED and tested MPG figures is opinion. A video towing test is opinion. A mid level engine (5.0L) should compete with the 5.7L premier engine is opinion. A "all new" tundra revealed last year with NO powertrain upgrades is opinion. Thanks, I'll make a note of that
