2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid MPG: What to expect 

When you think of the qualities that a 2024 Toyota Tundra has, fuel efficiency is probably not one of the first things that comes to mind. That’s all about to change, though – this powerhouse Toyota now comes in multiple hybrid models to give you the power you need with the fuel efficiency you’ve been wishing for. Check out this Orlando Toyota guide to the 2024 Toyota Tundra hybrid MPG breakdown!

What is the fuel economy of the 2024 Toyota Tundra hybrid?

Here’s the good news – the 2024 Toyota Tundra hybrid MPG breakdown is pretty impressive. When you shop for this Orlando Toyota, you’ll have two drivetrain options:

• An i-FORCE 3.4L Turbo V6 (gas model) with four-wheel drive that gets up to 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. This drivetrain offers up to 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft torque.
• An i-FORCE MAX 3.4L Turbo V6 (hybrid model) with four-wheel drive that gets up to 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. This drive train offers up to 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft torque.

So here’s the thing – the regular gas model gets good fuel efficiency, too. But its horsepower and torque fall short when compared to the hybrid i-FORCE MAX Tundra, which offers both fuel efficiency and an exceptionally powerful performance. Bottom line, the 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid MPG numbers are more impressive when you factor in the power that the hybrid drivetrain is producing.

What makes the 2024 Toyota Tundra hybrid powerful AND efficient?

The Orlando Toyota Tundra has a unique hybrid drivetrain that sets it apart from siblings like the Toyota Prius. This evolved hybrid system is set up a bit differently so while it doesn’t quite match the fuel efficiency of a Prius, it offers incredible horsepower and torque numbers. Here’s why.

• Hybrid cars like the Prius have a dual-motor setup. The first motor takes power from the engine and sends it over to the battery to give you electrical power. The second motor is connected directly to the wheels to power them. Instead of the engine solely sending torque to the wheels, the path is mostly electrical. That’s why you get great fuel efficiency in this type of setup, but not a ton of horsepower or torque.
• In the Orlando Toyota Tundra hybrid, the path that sends power (the one that’s mostly electrical in the Prius) is mechanical. There’s a single motor in the Tundra setup, and there’s a clutch in between it and the engine. If the clutch is open, the engine can turn off and the electric motor takes over to send power to the wheels. If the clutch is closed because the truck needs to use internal combustion, the twin-turbo V6 engine starts mechanically sending power to the wheels.

Now that you’ve got a breakdown of how the 2024 Toyota Tundra hybrid MPG count is achieved, let’s talk about improving your truck’s fuel efficiency even further.

How can you get better fuel efficiency in a hybrid truck?

Trying to improve your overall 2024 Toyota Tundra hybrid MPG count? Here are some tips on getting better truck fuel efficiency from the experts at Toyota of Orlando.

• Slow down – speeding uses more fuel, so watch your speedometer.
• Keep your Orlando Toyota truck in good shape. Get routine oil changes and other maintenance to ensure your truck is in the best condition possible so you get the performance you deserve.
• Make sure your tires are always inflated to the proper PSI. Underinflated tires can drag down your fuel efficiency so you have to spend more money on gas.
• Find the most efficient routes. Check traffic before you leave the house to look for the best route to get where you’re going – sitting and idling can waste fuel and drive up your costs.
• Keep your truck cleaned out. If you have any extra weight that you can ditch, do so – extra weight will lower your fuel efficiency. Keep your truck cabin and bed as cleaned out as possible.
• Cool it with the aggressive driving. Slamming on the gas and brakes – otherwise known as aggressive driving – kills your fuel efficiency. Make it a point to accelerate and brake as smoothly as possible.
