I have a 2011 Tundra Limited Crew Max with a 5.7L Flex Fuel engine that I purchased new in Dec of 2010. I just rolled over 300000 miles on Saturday. 17.5-18.5 highway MPG on regular unleaded since new. Better mileage in summer than winter. Driving I do is between my farm in east central Wisconsin and upstate New York and everywhere in between. No towing but occasionally pick up loads of up to a ton. Use Michelin tires exclusively. X-Ice in winter, ?? in summer. 20" wheels. 0W20 Mobil 1 synthetic oil with changes every 10000 miles.
There are economies realized with this truck that go far beyond simple fuel mileage. For example, I just had new brake rotors and pads installed -at 300000 miles- the old rotors had been turned once and pads replaced-once. Spark plugs every 120000 miles. Changed the radiator fluid once. Replaced the serpentine belt only because I thought it was a good idea. Has a timing chain so no belt to replace. Everything else is original. Battery, exhaust system, no rust, runs like the proverbial swiss watch. Even the light bulbs stay lit. If you use E85 the mpg drop and E85 and regular are so close in price that I don't bother with E85. If you use E85 more than 50% of the time you're supposed to change the engine oil every 5000 miles. For me, it's the perfect truck. Quiet, quiet. I can't stand noisy trucks with all the driving I do. Good ride, too. Oh, I almost forgot. Greaseable zerks on the driveline. Keep it lubed and go a million miles.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
