Good news. Thanks. What is average mpg the 5.7 will do ? It is the heaviest on fuel it seems for the half tons.
OMT, are those Toyota tow mirrors ? Or after market ? I have the nice big flip up mirrors on my ram now. Was worried about mirrors for the tundra.

Oddly enough, I drove a 2500 mile round trip and discovered that I get better fuel economy at around 80 mph than 75 mph. I got 18.4 MPG with no trailer with a 2010 4wd double cab 5.7 |

I loved my 06 double cab TRD 4wd. 16.0 mpg Lots of room for kids and adults. Even took the bbq grill in the bed to Norwalk one year.  No problems pulling moms GTO throught the smokey mountains to Pigeon Forge. patrick

07 Tundra SR5 4 WD w/5.7, 8ft bed, 4:30 gear. Currently has @ 137k. Very impressed with the ride and solid feel. Have only pulled my 70 Buick GS455 with it (Firebird not quite done yet) and have found it to be a very good tow vehicle.
Mileage is @ 13.5 towing. Best mileage I have seen is @ 18 highway.

Ya, it's not a vehicle that you buy for the mileage. But it's got tons of power and it's very smooth. My '06 GMC was always kicking down a gear when pulling the trailered Lemans on a hill. Not with this truck.

Going to look for a new truck next month for my wife to pull her 2 horse trailer. First choice is a 5.7 Tundra reg cab, 4wd, short bed. 2nd choice 5.3 GM.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
