I read 409hp for the spun 3.5....Did they release horsepower numbers?

It’s amazing how ugly new trucks areSee the First Official Photo of the 2022 Toyota Tundra
After dealer images leaked this week, Toyota released the first full photo of the new Tundra TRD Pro.www.caranddriver.com
Yep, they look like they're going for some messed up transformer look or something, with a whole lot more plastic on them than they need.It’s amazing how ugly new trucks are
I had an 08 Double cab long bed and I got 12 mpg on average all day long. That thing had a 26 gallon tank that the gas light came on at 6 gallon mark. Sucked getting gas all the damn time. Dont get me wrong I loved that truck so much I bought a 2021 Double cab Long bed with the 38 gallon tank. I now average 12.6 mpg. The best I have seen out of either truck is 15.5 on long road trip. The mileage sucks for sure but it is a badass V8 truck. 24-25 mpg would be pretty slick for sure .If you are getting 17 on a regular basis you have a hidden gem. Most folks are in the 13-14 range.
Our LC is a 14.5-16 mpg
The pathetic gas mileage is the reason that I refused to own another of the larger gen Tundras. I had an '08, son bought it from me after 5 years. I loved the truck overall, but loathed the constant fillups with the smaller tank. And mine had the 4.6L.I had an 08 Double cab long bed and I got 12 mpg on average all day long.

Own a truck for awhile that isn't reliable and the bad mileage won't matter as much.The pathetic gas mileage is the reason that I refused to own another of the larger gen Tundras.

Wife and I both preferred the bench seat, but the 38 gallon tank was avail as a bucket seat/center console option only.
You can put an oem 38 gallon tank in themThe mpg isn't a huge deal for me, however the range is. It would be nice to drive more than 300 miles on a tank of gas. I hate having to stop a lot for gas on long trips.
Totally get that, but I'm spoiled, only ever owned or driven Toyotas with some Nissans tossed in the early years. Had one GMC with the 4.3 that blew a head gasket at 62K. Vowed never again.Own a truck for awhile that isn't reliable and the bad mileage won't matter as much.
I don't give a crap what the mpg is as long as it just works.
They should all be reliable in 2022 as well.Totally get that, but I'm spoiled, only ever owned or driven Toyotas with some Nissans tossed in the early years. Had one GMC with the 4.3 that blew a head gasket at 62K. Vowed never again.
So....never really worry about reliability, and imho in 2022 every 1/2 ton truck 2 or 4wd should be getting a minimum of 20mpg. 25 shouldn't be rare.
If Toyota offers discounts/incentitives on the 2021 Tundra as they phase them out I would be tempted to get one before the next generation Tundra takes over. But with this year of screwed up vehicle inventory I doubt that will occur. The current Tundra seems to be the most bullet proof of all the current full size trucks. Although for me that is a 2nd hand observation as I do not own one.
I don’t know about that 17mpg…everything I’ve read says about 12-14 mpg average. If your getting 17mpg that’s pretty good.Is 17mpg really that bad for a full size 400hp v8 truck? I just picked up a 2016 tundra and am stoked with the gas mileage compared to my 6.0 gas Sierra.
I know the trend in full size trucks is turbo v6 but man that adds a lot of complexity and shh to go wrong
