New Tundra Owner

Hello,
I am a new Tundra owner, a 2023 Smoked Mesquite finish 1794 I-Force MAX - picked it up yesterday. Coming from a 2016 Chevy Colorado Z71.

Need to get running boards/nerf bars, and an tonneau cover - any recommendations?

Looking forward to learning about my new truck!

Pm Santana at real truck to get 20-30% off anything you see on RealTruck

 

Congrats! I really like the Smoked Mesquite.

Post some pics.

Ok, looking for a hard tonneau cover - what do you guys think of these?:

Welcome from So Cal

 

Santana gave me nice discount on my BAKFlip MK4 cover - thanks!

 

Welcome from West MO. IMO the red TRD grille inlays and AFE tow hooks are a good look

 

Welcome!

 

I am getting like 12.9 mpg around my local towns. Is this normal? It's almost as bad as my 2007 Dodge Ram V8.

The sticker said 18-20 local, and 12.9 ain't 20! I know it's an estimate, but still, 12.9?

 

Sounds like your right foot modulator is spending too much time in the on position

 

Haha - I'm a pretty "conservative" (old man) driver.

 

For in town driving, if I am not pushing it too hard, I get between 16.5 to 16.9 on average. For highway driving if I keep it around 70mph I get between 21 to 22. It drops off fast when you go above 70.

 

It will improve some with break in, as most engines do. Check your tire pressures to make sure they aren't too low. Also, don't idle. That will murder anything the screen reads out.
