The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck that competes with the Ford F-150, GMC Siera, Chevrolet Silverado and Dodge Ram. The car is popular mainly in the USA. The car is produced in the USA, in Texas. The car was developed in 2000 on the Toyota Sequoia platform. In 2000 and 2008, Toyota Tundra was nominated for prestigious awards from the famous American magazine Motor Trend.

The Toyota Turndra is a classic body-on-frame pickup truck available in two- or four-door body styles. In basic mode, the car is rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is engaged manually. The second generation Toyota Tundra has been produced since 2007, and in 2013 the model was restyled. The car received an appearance in the style of modern Toyota models.

Toyota Tundra owner reviews

Generation 1

  • Maxim, Yaroslavl. My Tundra has everything you need for off-roading - a powerful 4.7-liter engine (power 270 hp), an energy-intensive suspension with long travel, as well as ground clearance more than 200 mm and excellent smoothness. Despite a large number of cylinders and engine displacement, fuel consumption is around 14 liters per hundred - I consider this figure normal for such a “heart”.
  • Ruslan, Petrozavodsk. I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra with a 4.7-liter gasoline engine producing 282 horsepower. This engine is surprisingly economical for its displacement. In the urban cycle, this unit is very voracious, but within reason - even in traffic jams, consumption does not exceed 16-17 liters per 100 km. I'm very happy with the car. Excellent dynamics, it was not in vain that I purchased the version with such an engine. In the combined cycle, the 4.7-liter engine also consumes in this area - 16-18 liters per 100 km. If you skid heavily, for example off-road or in deep snow, then the consumption will increase to 18 liters. The noise is felt both outside and inside. Vibrations pass through the front panel, but this only adds emotion and adrenaline.
  • Semyon, Tver region. The mileage of my Tundra recently exceeded 100 thousand kilometers. The car holds up well, despite its advanced age. The car was purchased in 2000, with a 3.4-liter engine, automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The car impressed in city driving, as well as in the suburban cycle and off-road. I mean fuel efficiency - the average consumption in the city reaches 14 liters, and outside the city does not exceed 11 liters per 100 km. Off-road it turns out to be 13-15 liters depending on the load.

Generation 2

Engine 4.6

  • Oleg, Pyatigorsk. I have a Toyota Tundra with an automatic transmission and a 4.6-liter engine. The car is comfortable and dynamic, with an impenetrable chassis. The frame design can withstand all road irregularities, and you can drive over speed bumps at a decent speed. By the way, in the city the car consumes 15 liters per hundred, and off-road it turns out to be 16-17 liters.
  • Vladislav, St. Petersburg. I drive a 2008 Tundra, a car with a powerful 4.6-liter engine - its power is 310 Horse power. The automatic transmission improves the already excellent ride quality thanks to the energy-intensive suspension with long travel. This car is bought by wealthy and business people who do not need to prove anything. The car turned out to be very economical, and fuel consumption of 15 liters has remained almost unchanged since the start of operation - it fluctuates at the same level. A car with a spacious interior and a huge trunk. The suspension smooths out all the bumps and improves off-road capabilities. The powerful motor is designed for a long range.
  • Igor, Kaliningrad region. I've owned many SUVs, and the Toyota Tundra is one of them. I drove it from 2010 to 2013. The car impresses with its dynamics and efficiency - I did not expect this from a powerful 310-horsepower engine. The car is absolutely not gluttonous for its segment - I consider the consumption of 14-15 liters acceptable for this class of car. For a person who decides to purchase such a car, high maintenance costs should not be a problem. After all, you need to weigh the pros and cons before buying this car. Actually, that's what I did.

Engine 4.7

  • Rinat, Ufa. I've been driving a Toyota Tundra since I was a teenager. We already had a first-generation Tundra, but my father decided to exchange it for a newer second-generation Tundra, despite the similar design and equipment. The version with a more powerful engine was chosen - that was the point. But it consumes more - from 13 to 17 liters, depending on the complexity of the off-road.
  • Mikhail, Moscow region. This car is not for showing off, but for business. I bought it specifically for off-road driving, and for the city I have a Toyota Corolla. I only owned cars of this brand. In general, I love Japanese cars. For what? Rather, for reliability and a developed dealer network, rather than for gluttony. For example, my Tundra with a 4.7-liter engine consumes more than 15 liters per 100 km. Perhaps this is its only drawback. Impressive dimensions don’t count, because thanks to them the car looks brutal, and in the city everyone lets me through.
  • Nikita, Dnepropetrovsk. My Toyota Tundra has 75 thousand kilometers on the odometer, I have a 2012 version with a 4.7 liter engine, power – 276 horsepower. A car with plug-in all-wheel drive, a durable frame structure and excellent ride comfort. The car passes over any uneven surfaces without any discomfort - this is thanks to the long-travel suspension, as well as the high ground clearance. Fuel consumption is from 13 to 16 liters depending on the load.

Engine 5.7

  • Vitaly, Priozersk. A worthy car for those who love off-roading and cannot live without it. Therefore, I believe that my choice in favor of the Toyota Tundra with a 5.7-liter engine is completely justified, despite the era of economical and environmentally friendly clean cars. The Tundra will be relevant for a long time, at least off-road. An engine with a power of 380 horsepower consumes an average of 18-19 liters per 100 km; on severe off-road conditions, consumption rarely exceeds 20 liters. Despite the large displacement, the cabin is relatively quiet. At idle you can barely hear the engine at all.
  • Alexander, Belgorod. I rate the capabilities of the Toyota Tundra with a 5.7-liter engine as 5 plus. The car is no worse than any potential competitor, I mean off-road capabilities. In what ways is the car inferior? modern models, so it’s in fuel consumption - a 380-horsepower engine can easily consume more than 20 liters per 100 km, there’s no point in being particularly surprised.
  • Boris, Ryazan. A stylish and impressive car - it seems to show with its appearance what it is capable of. Thus, the car hints that it has a 5.7-liter unit with a capacity of 380 horses under the hood. So I decided to take this version so that the power matches the design, so to speak. Fuel consumption is 18-20 liters per 100 km depending on the load.
  • Konstantin, Sverdlovsk. I bought myself a 2015 Toyota Tundra, a used car with the maximum configuration. The 5.7-liter engine provides hurricane dynamics; I simply did not expect such agility from an outdated naturally aspirated engine. At the same time, the engine consumes no more than 20 liters per 100 km - this is off-road, in the most extreme conditions. The automatic transmission reveals the engine's potential quite well, but at the same time it still takes away some of the power. Alas, you have to pay for comfort and pleasure. But there is still enough power in reserve, including when overcoming hills and climbs.
  • Daniil, Perm region. The car is 2016, with a bunch of options and a 5.7-liter gasoline engine. The car is a beast, and no obstacles are afraid of it. Fuel consumption is within 15-20 liters depending on the load. The car is comfortable and spacious in all directions. The rear seats can be folded down. The car sets up for a dynamic ride, despite the large body rolls and long-travel suspension, as well as frightening rolls in corners.
  • Mikhail, Novosibirsk. My Toyota Tundra has many disadvantages, but many more advantages. Actually, that’s why I bought this colossus. A stylish five-meter pickup truck with an extended wheelbase (four doors), in a top-end configuration, with a 5.7-liter engine and an automatic transmission, as well as all-wheel drive, consumes 18 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle. In deep snow it turns out to be 19-20 liters.

Usually, best cars The pickup truck format is made by the Americans, but Toyota decided to challenge this statement by releasing the Tundra. This model was twice recognized as the best among analogues in 2000 and 2008. However, when buying it, you should take into account that the fuel consumption of a Toyota Tundra per 100 km will be 15 l+ depending on the cycle. But fuel costs are completely justified, because this SUV overcomes any obstacles.

Briefly about the model

The first models of the Toyota Tundra series were demonstrated in Detroit in 1999, already hinting that this pickup truck would properly compete with such a US company as Dodge.

Initially, the buyer was offered models with a V6 engine and a displacement of 3.4 or 4.7 and a power that ranged from 190 to 245. Gasoline consumption for a Toyota Tundra in the combined cycle on a manual is 15.7 liters of fuel. Considering such expenses, a fuel tank with a capacity of one hundred liters was provided.

The SUV collected a lot positive feedback and the consumer liked it so much, that since 2004 the model range has been completely updated. At the same time, manufacturers abandoned 3.4 hp, focusing on 4.7 and 5.7 hp. in volume.

More information about the technical characteristics of the Tundra model range

As mentioned above, the first models of 2000 are significantly different from those currently being produced. However, they are all on sale, and to know which one real consumption Toyota Tundra fuel, we will consider these cars from the very beginning of their production.

2000-2004

The first cars had a V6 engine and were equipped with:

  • 4 hp, 190 power, 2/4 doors, manual/automatic;
  • 7 hp, 240/245 power, 2/4 doors/ manual/automatic.

Having such specifications Toyota Tundra, fuel consumption per 100 km averages 15 liters. 13 liters in the extra-urban cycle were announced, but for those who like to drive fast, the consumption was 1.5-2 liters more.

2004-2006

Given the success of previous models, Toyota decided to further develop its pickup truck. Demand showed that the 3.4 models are not relevant, so the emphasis in the updated series was on power and volume. The six-cylinder engine remained, but its performance was increased to 282 hp and volume to 4.7. The Toyota Tundra's fuel consumption performance hasn't changed much. If speak about in the suburban cycle, then the consumption is 13 liters per hundred kilometers. 15 – mixed. And up to 17 liters - in the city.

2006-2009

The model range of these years includes more than twenty variants of the Tundra. The 4.0 car was still available. The real novelty, however, is the V8 engine found on the 4.7 and 5.7 models. Such innovations have affected the fuel consumption of Toyota Tundra per 100 km.

Despite the fact that the costs according to the technical documentation have not changed since 2000, the actual consumption in the urban cycle reaches 18 liters.

This figure applies to owners of new cars with a displacement of 5.7 and a power of 381, who love a sharp start and high speed. The old 4.0 with manual transmission in the urban cycle has a consumption of 15 liters.

The following cars were available in this series:

  • 0.236/270 power;
  • 6, 310 power;
  • 7, 381 power.

These models do not differ significantly from the previous ones. There are also no visible changes in fuel costs. According to owner reviews, real gasoline consumption for a Toyota Tundra in the city reaches 18.5 liters for 5.7, and 16.3 for 4.0. In the mixed cycle it ranges from 15 to 17 liters. Fuel consumption standards on the highway are considered to be up to 14 liters.

There were no significant changes, except for one. Since 2013, all cars have a five or six-speed automatic transmission. But, as in the previous series, volumes 4.0, 4.6 and 5.7 are available to the buyer. If we talk about consumption, then on an automatic it is naturally higher than on a manual. Therefore, the technical documentation indicated such figures per 100 km (arithmetic average for the model range):

  • urban cycle – up to 18.1;
  • suburban – up to 13.1;
  • mixed – up to 15.1.

The expansion of Japanese companies into the American market in the passenger car segment began in the eighties of the last century. Local producers had to seriously make room and give up many positions. History repeated itself again when Toyota began developing a full-size pickup truck fifteen years ago, intending to once again snatch some of their profits from GMC, Chevrolet and Dodge.

The concept, which served as a prototype for the Toyota Tundra, which had fairly high technical characteristics, was presented in 1999 at the Chicago Auto Show under the name T150. The car immediately made an impression on specialists and, importantly, on the American consumer, who likes large and powerful pickup trucks. As a result, a production model was created on the basis of the concept, called Tundra.

The company received a fairly large number of orders for the supply of a pickup truck and invested almost $1.2 billion in the construction of a plant in the state of Indiana in Princeton. The estimated capacity of the new enterprise was about 100 thousand cars per year, which at that time amounted to about 6% of total sales. The project turned out to be quite successful, and the car pleased the spoiled American consumer.

History of the creation and development of Toyota Tundra

The T150 platform was designed specifically to replace the not-so-mid-size version of the T100. Insufficient engine power was one of the reasons for the failure of the model; the error was taken into account when developing the Toyota Tundra.

Japanese engineers equipped new car six- and eight-cylinder engines that meet the stringent environmental requirements of the California ULEV standard.

The car was equipped exclusively for the American market. This transmission is the most popular among American drivers - up to 80% of the total number of cars sold in the United States have an automatic transmission. The company's management took this fact into account when designing the pickup truck.

Over its fifteen-year history, three generations of the Toyota Tundra pickup truck have been produced; updates took place in accordance with established practice every five to six years. The first version of the 2000 model year was called T150s, the name had to be changed after a lawsuit from Ford. This version of the pickup truck was equipped with different types of body:

  • Regular Cab with a two-door cab and one row of seats for the driver and passengers.
  • Access Cab is equipped with two rows of seats, and ease of entry is ensured by the presence of 4 doors.
  • Double Cab has a body structure similar to the previous model with an extended cab.

The first modification took place in 2006, and was presented to the general public at the next Chicago Auto Show. The exterior of the car was designed in the spirit of that time. Some parts were borrowed from the Toyota Tacoma SUV and the then promising Toyota FTX concept car. The number of body versions has been increased to five different sizes, accordingly, three standard sizes of cargo platforms were developed for them.

The second generation Toyota Tundra was initially equipped with only two eight-cylinder and one six-cylinder gasoline engines. Later this range was expanded and a diesel engine was added.

In addition, active work was carried out on a hybrid installation, but work was suspended because... Serious technical difficulties arose and the company focused on improving the traditional engine.

The latest third version of the Toyota Tundra pickup truck was presented there in Chicago, an event that took place in 2013. The specialists did a good job not only on the appearance of the car, but also on its equipment. The car is delivered to dealer showrooms in several versions, representing different combinations of three types of cabins, four engines and two gearboxes.

The set objectives to conquer the American market in the full-size pickup truck segment were successfully achieved. In 2010, Toyota Tundra sales exceeded 10% of the total, and the car was recognized as the best-selling truck in its class.

Technical characteristics of Toyota Tundra

American automobile giants hold the pickup market segment due to a wide variety of trim levels and engines. The consumer is offered both the simplest working versions and luxurious luxury options. Toyota also decided to play on exclusivity and presented the Tundra model in the TRD Pro modification, which stands out from the general background of its analogues with its catchy appearance.

Video - test drive Toyota Tundra TRD Pro 2015:

The exterior of the car is truly extraordinary and immediately attracts the attention of the consumer. The orange metallic Inferno with a slightly brown tint, deep-set headlights and a large black radiator grille look quite defiant.

At the same time, all the elements are well balanced with each other, and the brand name leaves no doubt that this is a Japanese car.

Toyota Tundra has quite high technical characteristics, with an engine displacement of 5700 cc. cm fuel consumption is no more than 20 liters per 100 km. For a full-size pickup truck, these figures can be considered simply excellent.

The dimensions of the car are impressive: length 5809 mm, width 2029 mm and height 1925 mm. The car has a significant ground clearance of 254 mm, it is designed for driving on bad roads.

The wheelbase of the Tundra is 3701 mm, which, combined with high ground clearance, gives good cross-country ability. When traveling off-road, the driver does not have to worry about the car hitting the ground with its bumper when crossing a ditch or sitting on its belly on a roll. A practical pickup truck is best suited for Russian and American country roads.

The car was developed specifically for the American market, hence the large selection of power units and gearboxes. Pickup trucks are equipped with powerful eight- and six-cylinder engines with large displacement.

There are four options in total, and for convenience, the data on them is summarized in a table:

Engine 3.4 V6 4.0 V6 4.7 V8 5.7 V8
Working volume 3378 3956 4664 5663
Rated power, l. With. (kW) 190 (141) 236 (176) 271 (202) 381 (284)

As can be seen from the presented characteristics of the Toyota Tundra pickup truck, fuel consumption per 100 km largely depends on driving conditions and engine type. The practice of intensive use clearly shows that the car is unpretentious and is quite capable of consuming A-92 gasoline without harming itself. Fuel consumption figures for a car of this mass and size are quite acceptable.

The suspension of the Toyota Tundra in the TRD Pro modification deserves special attention. The car is equipped with Bilstein shock absorbers and specially designed extended springs. The rigidity of the elastic elements has been reduced so that the SUV can go over bumps more smoothly. The price for comfort was increased roll on a good road at high speeds.

Video test drive of Toyota Tundra (Arena TV channel, part 2):

The shock absorbers have a very interesting design; they have not one, but two pistons, the operation of which eliminates the possibility of breakdown. In critical modes, their interaction makes it possible to compensate for the additional load. To ensure the operation of such shock absorbers, the designers had to install an expansion tank. It is located outside the housing and connected to it by a pipeline.

Interior

In the USA, the consumer is spoiled and the requirements for car comfort are extremely high. The Japanese company offers a wide selection of cabin configurations, from the simplest two-door to an extended one with a folding rear sofa. In the latter case, the distance to front row the seats are 113 cm, which will allow the legs of a person of heroic height and build to stretch out.

The driver's seat is organized very functionally, as is the case in all Japanese SUVs. The four-spoke steering wheel with silver inserts and control buttons for the automatic transmission and media center has a wide range of adjustments. The controls are placed quite traditionally, everything is in place and the driver does not need much time to get used to them.

The interior trim is of high quality: plastic panels, fabric seat upholstery with leather inserts are pleasant to the touch, and the parts are well fitted. Some experts note that the interior sound insulation is not very good, especially when driving at high speeds. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the car: there is enough space, the color scheme in the interior is tastefully chosen, and silver inserts go with the theme.

Tuning

The stylish and unusual appearance of a pickup truck often gives inspiration to their owners for creative experiments. Tuning a Toyota Tundra car can be aimed at improving its technical characteristics and exterior.

The carrying capacity of the vehicle according to the passport is 825 kg, in addition, it is possible to tow a trailer. To protect cargo from external influences, equipment manufacturers offer special glazed roofs.

One of the most famous companies engaged in the manufacture of accessories and components for tuning Toyota Tundra is Devolro. The company is located in Miami and has a specialized studio that creates real masterpieces from serial cars. From an ordinary pickup truck they make a car that is not inferior in comfort to a limousine while fully maintaining its characteristics.

The craftsmen from the Devolro studio approach the issue of tuning the Toyota Tundra creatively; even a fairly standard package of body kit and additional equipment looks unusual in their execution.

A winch covered with a steel casing, an additional headlight unit, and a modified suspension allow the car to feel great off-road. The catchy appearance makes the device stand out from the crowd on the roads.

A Toyota Tundra tuned in a specialized studio means not only changes in appearance. At the request of the client, the vehicle is equipped with a fuel tank of increased volume, which allows the cruising range to be increased to 1000 km without refueling. Installing an air suspension allows you to increase the load capacity by one and a half times and increase the stability of the vehicle on public roads.

Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck from Toyota Motor Corporation, which replaced the Toyota T100. Production of the model began in 1999 (2000 model series) and today continues in its third generation (since 2013). The model has repeatedly won the title of SUV of the Year. In Russia, official sales of the Tundra never began, but among buyers who did manage to purchase the model, the versions with 4.7 and 5.7 liter engines were in greatest demand.

Toyota Tundra 4.0 AT + MT

Rear-wheel drive versions of the car with an installed 4-liter AT and MT engine were produced from 2007 to 2013. They were equipped with pickup trucks with one-and-a-half and double cabs. Engine power until 2013 was 236 hp, average consumption was 12.8 liters (city - 13.8 liters, highway - 11.8). After 2013, 4.0 AT is installed on single and one-and-a-half rear-wheel drive versions of the Tundra. Now the 270-horsepower unit consumes up to 13.4 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle (14.7 - city, 11.8 - highway).

Gasoline consumption per 100 km reviews

  • Pavel, Novgorod. Previously, there were 2 cars in the “arsenal” - one for the city and the second for long trips. But the purchase of the Tundra in 2010 changed everything - now there is only 1 jeep and there is no limit to the pleasure. I push the maximum on the highway and the consumption is no more than 13 liters. In the city it’s about 15-16 liters, depending on traffic congestion and driving style. I like the maneuverability and dynamism. I took it on an automatic transmission.
  • Ivan, Moscow. I bought the car after the release of the new generation. Build in 2014 with a 4.0 engine with 270 horsepower. I'm not complaining yet. The machine is a rarity in our market, but we managed to get it through friends. A powerful pickup truck that requires up to 15-17 liters of gasoline in the city. If you drag in a traffic jam all the time, then all 18 come out. The highway pulls 13-14 liters. In general, a lot, but this one is definitely worth it.
  • Alexander, Chelyabinsk. My father drove a 236-horsepower Tundra straight from Europe - a great birthday present. Inexpensive to maintain, obedient on the road, appearance- generally super. The main disorder is the beastly appetite: how the 4.0 AT engine manages to burn 18 liters of gasoline in the mixture is the mystery of the century. City - 20 liters, highway - 16. I feel that my nerves won’t stand it for long. Model 2008.
  • Vladimir, Krasnoyarsk. The main disadvantage of the car is that it attracts too much attention (I’m talking about the constant phone pictures taken by passers-by). There are no complaints about the work, because the pickup earns back every ruble invested. Average fuel consumption as indicated in the passport is 15 liters in the city and 12 on the highway. But as soon as you start pressing on the gas, you instantly gain two liters.

Toyota Tundra 4.6 AT

From 2010 to 2013, the Tundra is equipped with a 4.6-liter engine with 310 hp. There are both rear- and all-wheel drive options to choose from. Since 2013, in the updated Tundra, the 4.6 AT engine receives the same 310 hp. with a mixed gasoline consumption of 14.7 liters. At the same time, fuel consumption in the city is 15.7 liters, and on the highway - 12.4 liters. The power plant is paired only with automatic transmission transmission Acceleration to 100 km/h in 8 seconds, top speed – 180 km/h.

Fuel consumption rate - reviews

  • Andrey, Ufa. It’s a pity that we don’t have and never will have official Toyota Tundras in our country - it’s a great car! I got myself a 2nd generation pickup truck produced in 2010 with a 4.6 AT engine. The 310-horsepower power plant pulls everywhere, and its power is felt every time you press the gas pedal to the floor. Gasoline consumption is 16-17 in the city and 13-13.7 liters on the highway. Average consumption in the combined cycle is 15-15.9 liters.
  • Inna, Moscow. I agree, a pickup truck is not a car for women, but that’s my job. It just so happens that the Japanese make the best trucks. This time the Tundra is truly a reference pickup truck - a lot of space in the body, interior, high-torque engine. Consumption for the 2014 model is 16.5 liters in the city and up to 13.5 liters in suburban mode. All the photographic equipment easily fits in the back, and I don’t need more.
  • Vladimir, Rostov-on-Don. By creating the Toyota Tundra, the Japanese decided to make all those who love to travel happy. Load everything you need into the back and go - any road will not be a problem for the Tundra. But the problem for the driver will be the appetite of the engine. If the car is loaded to the limit, then the 4.6 AT consumes 20 liters in the mixture and this is not the limit! Otherwise, this truck is a real rock solid. Mileage 40 thousand, model 2008.
  • Slavik, Saratov. I bought myself a Tundra paired with a trailer. The car is new in 2013 after updating, 4.6 engine with automatic transmission. I tried for a long time to make friends between the trailer and the tractor, but I succeeded. I use the car at 100, but the power reserve is still too large - the manufacturer has gone too far. Consumption per half ton of cargo in a trailer reaches 14-15 liters on the highway. In principle, a lot, but a pickup is a pickup. Traveling without a trailer around the city takes up to 16.5 liters in the summer months, and in winter it turns out to be under 18.
  • Taras, Naberezhnye Chelny. We don’t have many Tundras (and especially those with a 4.6-liter engine), and therefore I can confidently assure you that it’s difficult to achieve a consumption of 18-20 liters on this jeep. The maximum is 17, but that’s if you’re not reckless. Country mode - 14 liters is the limit. By the way, a jerk at a traffic light leaves puzzled looks on the faces of your rivals. I have a 2013 model, I bought the all-wheel drive version.

Toyota Tundra 4.7 AT + MT

The pickup's 4.7-liter engine in the second generation began in 2007 and continued until 2009. The power on rear- and front-wheel drive models was the same - 276 hp. Acceleration to the first hundred in 6.5 seconds, maximum speed - 200 km/h. Gasoline consumption with an automatic transmission in the city is 20 liters, on the highway - 13 liters, combined cycle - 15.8 liters per 100 km traveled. With a manual transmission, consumption is one and a half liters lower.

Reviews of fuel consumption per 100 km

  • Akhmed, Krasnodar. I dreamed of a pickup truck since my student years. A dream came true - I bought a 2007 Tundra II. Rear-wheel drive, 4.7-liter power unit with manual transmission. It rushes like a tank on any road and in any weather conditions. For 100 km on the highway it takes 11-12 liters, and in the city around 18 liters. There are no breakdowns yet, now I use it for cargo transportation. When fully loaded with a trailer, the mixture yields 14-14.7 liters.
  • Evgeniy, Samara. I now remember my 2008 Toyota Tundra (4.7AT) like a bad dream. At first I was disappointed with the dimensions (parking is a challenge), but then I got used to it. But I still haven’t come to terms with the consumption - it was promised 20 liters in city mode, but in practice it’s only 25, and this is in the summer! The highway at 100 km/h generally sucks up to 16 liters. In general, it’s not for nothing that this model is not brought to Russia - it’s not for our wallets.
  • Dmitry, Moscow. An excellent jeep for Moscow - this one will not pass unnoticed anywhere. Large, roomy, powerful - exactly what they paid money for to bring it into the country. Model 2009, one of the last in the second generation. Consumption outside the city is 14 liters and around 22-22.5 in Moscow. In the combined cycle we rarely exceed 16-16.3 liters.
  • Yuri, Voronezh. We took this one for trips into nature, fishing and long journeys for work. As expected, the consumption on the 4.7 AT engine is no good - 21-22 liters in Voronezh and, in fact, on the highway (where we mostly ride) 14-15 liters. Actually, we don’t really pay attention to gasoline, but in the winter, when we hardly use the car, we feel the savings well. Pickup from 2008.

Toyota Tundra 5.7 AT

This equipment is present in the 2nd and 3rd generations of Toyota Tundra and is still produced today. Since 2007, the engine power has remained unchanged - 381 hp. As before, there are all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive versions, working only with an automatic transmission. Fuel consumption according to the manufacturer in the city is 18.1 liters, on the highway - 13.1 liters and in the combined cycle - 15.7 liters. Maximum speed— up to 220 km/h, acceleration to the first hundred in 6.3-6.7 seconds.

Real fuel consumption

  • Nikolay, Tula. I will be as brief as possible in my review. Consumption up to 22 liters in traffic jams. On the highway at speeds up to 160 km/h, exactly 14 liters are consumed. In general, a 100-liter tank allows you to cover 550 km without straining. The power of the car is simply off the charts, and this is with adequate consumption (the same Lexus 570 consumes up to 30 liters of fuel). The main disadvantage is that at speeds above 140 km/h the weight of the car immediately makes itself felt.
  • Andrey, Belgorod. I love big cars, so the desire to get a Tundra is quite understandable. Assembled in 2013, all-wheel drive, 5.7 AT engine. If you don’t think about consumption and don’t save, then the city mode requires 20-21 liters per 100 km, and the highway with a full trailer at a speed of 100-110 km/h takes almost 19.5 liters. Quiet driving without a trailer between cities - 15.3 liters.
  • Victor, Kharkov. My wife and I value comfort and power - that’s how we got the Tundra 5.7 AT straight from Germany. The enormous power of the engine, which is almost inaudible in the cabin, inspires respect. Gasoline consumption on the highway on such a monster is quite expected - 18.5 liters per hundred at high speed. In the city it is almost 22 liters. The main drawback is that it is difficult to park.
  • Dima, Peter. I have driven almost 58,000 km on my Toyota Tundra and I can say for sure that it feels like a hurricane has settled under the hood. I get 100 kilometers in a measly 6 seconds, while gasoline consumption in the city and on the highway is adequate for the class of the car - 17 and 13 liters, respectively. Mixed cycle - around 15-16 liters. I took a slightly used version with a mileage of 13,500 km - the previous owner considered the pickup to be too long.
  • Konstantin, Moscow. I bought the Tundra for long trips. Build 2015, 5.7 AT engine. It's a pleasure to drive this pickup truck. At a low speed of 90 km/h, the average fuel consumption remains at 14.5 liters on the highway. The city draws much more - under 20 liters. It was hard to get used to the dynamics, since 180 km/h feels like 80. The automatic transmission adapts to your driving style - this way you can save a liter or two per 100 km.
  • Igor, Moscow. I bought the Tundra new at the end of 2012. During all this time there are no complaints, since there is not a single breakdown, I only change consumables and fill in high-quality gasoline/oil. There are no questions about consumption - 12-13 outside the city and 16-17 in Moscow (this is a quiet ride with no cargo in the trunk). Handles the road perfectly. Mixed consumption - 14 liters of gasoline.

At the end of the last century, Japanese car manufacturing companies began to actively conquer new market segments. The North American region has been a priority target for many companies. Toyota became one of the few corporations that imposed competition on local automakers: Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge. Focused on the needs of American drivers, the Toyota T100 SUV has long been in great demand in the USA and Canada.

But the Japanese decided to build on the success they had achieved, and already in 2000 they began production of the Toyota Tundra pickup truck. The new product received the appearance of a typical American car, and characteristics that satisfied the requirements of the local buyer. It has long been known that North American drivers prefer SUVs with a displacement engine under the hood. That is why the Toyota Tundra's fuel consumption per 100 km does not bother anyone overseas. But what do domestic drivers think about this?

Official consumption figures

Today the production of the third generation of Toyota Tundra has been launched. The car arrived in time a short time win many prestigious awards. In 2008, the pickup won the Truck of the Year category. After restyling in 2013, the main power unit of the Tundra became a 5.7-liter power unit with a capacity of 380 horsepower. Today, the third generation of pickup trucks are equipped with this engine. The manufacturer has determined the following consumption rate for a 5.7-liter engine in the urban/suburban cycle: 18/13 liters for the modification with an automatic transmission.

The latest generation Toyota Tundra received only an automatic transmission paired with a 5.7-liter engine. You can purchase a version with a 5- or 6-speed automatic transmission. As mentioned above, the Toyota Tundra is aimed primarily at the American market, so the model was not officially supplied to many European countries. However, there will always be a considerable number of domestic drivers who prefer to acquire a solid and reliable SUV. Today on domestic roads you can find a considerable number of copies brought from abroad.

Toyota Tundra fuel consumption according to owner reviews

The Tundra is produced in two body styles: with two and four doors. The 5.7-liter V8 power unit is equipped with a direct fuel injection system, and the engine is also known for its unpretentiousness to the quality of gasoline. Many car owners fill the gas tank of a pickup truck with AI-92, with which the 3UR-FBE engine feels good. For its high cross-country ability, reliability and unpretentiousness, the Toyota Tundra is loved by European drivers. It is they who will informatively tell you what the fuel consumption of the Toyota Tundra 5.7 is per 100 km.

Engine 5.7 V8

  1. Maxim, Moscow. I purchased a Toyota Tundra Crew Max Limited 5.7 liter in Miami, USA, it is not officially supplied to us. Today I drive it around Moscow, and I thoroughly enjoy driving it. I fill up with 92nd gasoline, mostly Lukoil, no complaints about the quality of work power unit No. There is also no loss of power observed. As for highway consumption, the average is 13-14 liters, much depends on driving style. But this is at a driving speed of 120-140 km/h, if you stick to 100-110 km, then the figure will be different - 12 liters on the rear axle, if with all-wheel drive it’s still plus 1.5-2 liters. If you drive 180 km/h, the consumption will be no less than 17 liters. In the city with racing 17-22 liters per 100 km, with quiet driving - 15-16 liters can be achieved.
  2. Alexey, St. Petersburg. Why did I buy a Toyota Tundra 5.7L? You can forgive everything for this car when you feel all the drive behind the wheel. You can even forgive the huge fuel consumption, because this pickup truck can go anywhere. Steppes? Please. Mountains? No problem. Maybe half household appliances, cabinets and sofas can be transported at one time from one apartment to another. This car is for all occasions. That’s why I turn a blind eye to 17 liters in the city, I don’t pay attention to 15-16 liters on the highway, because I personally don’t know how to drive this car any other way.
  3. Stanislav, Vladivostok. I have a Toyota Tundra 5.7, RS chip, 430 horsepower. I drive a Tundra every day - into the city to work, out of town back home. With 92 gasoline, I burned about 18 liters on the on-board computer. I decided to install gas and forget about efficiency forever. Set the gallon to 230 liters, fill up once and ride as long as you can. I drive with passion, I don’t like “snail” movement, so it takes 25 liters of gas per hundred. If you want, you can achieve less “gluttony” of the pickup, but for me this is not so important yet.
  4. Evgeniy, Moscow. I purchased a 2009 Toyota Tundra Grew Max, 5.7 engine, 15,000 miles. I fill AI-95 Lukoil, although it is acceptable to fill AI-92, but I prefer the engine thrust with 95 fuel. Consumption within Moscow varies, for example, in the warm season, 17-18 liters per hundred, depending on how you press the trigger. In winter, of course, the numbers increase to 20-22 liters per 100 km. I recently went on a trip, drove to Novosibirsk, covered more than 2000 km in total, moved at an average speed of 120 km/h, according to the on-board computer 15 liters, which is pretty good. Set the cruise control, and you drive calmly. At a speed of 180 km/h, an electronic shutdown is triggered; on rear-wheel drive, consumption can increase to 20 liters.
  5. Nikolay, Sochi. In 2017, I purchased a Toyota Tundra 5.7 liter with an automatic transmission. In winter in the city I have a consumption of 20-22 liters per hundred, in summer it is a little less - 18-19 liters. However, I have questions about the odometer, which sometimes shows false information. From my last long trip it turned out that I covered 625 km and burned a total of 125 liters of fuel. The odometer showed 580 km, which means that for every hundred kilometers the Tundra burned 21.5 liters.

The Toyota Tundra 5.7 V8 is the perfect choice for those who love big cars. But the pickup truck's high fuel economy may not appeal to everyone. The manufacturer certified the norm in the urban/suburban cycle - 18/13 liters per 100 km. But reviews from owners speak of other figures, somewhat far from the nominal consumption. In fact, the Toyota Tundra consumes 18/16 liters for every hundred kilometers driven.
