Toyota is very underwhelming in power. Creature comforts and head and shoulders above in the dodge. Pretty sure the toyota was built for someone with a 32" inseam or less. Horribly uncomfortable for me. I've drove it and I can hardly get out of it, gotta twist leg sideways just to get it under the steering wheel.
After being around that tacoma owning one would never cross my mind.
No idea what the tundras are like, maybe they are a better truck?
I've got a 3/4 ton with a hemi here as well. Has 35's on it and getting 14-15 L/100 km and as an added bonus it
pulls a 12000 lb holiday trailer around fairly handily (fuel
mileage drops considerbly of course) pretty good for a gasser. Guessing the tundra isn't doing any of that so not sure where the "fuel pig" statement comes from

Compare 1/2 ton pickups from 2022 on up, and the twin turbo V6 Tundra produces more torque thatln the 5.7 Hemi, at around 1000 rpm less and the fuel mileage is considerably better. In fact the 5.7hemi is the worst of GM, Ford, Toyota and Ram for fuel consumption in those years. Chrysler is actually replacing the 5.7hemi with a
twin turbo inline 6 for 2025, but fuel consumption estimates are not much better than the hemi, which will still leave Ram at the bottom fuel consumption wise for gas engines of similar power output. As for comparing a Tacoma to a full sized half ton they aren't meant to compare, I had a Tacoma, and my F150, and the new Tundra both get better fuel economy than my Tacoma did, while producing way more power, and providing much more room.

I was making a purchase from a gentleman who had just traded his Tundra for one of the new ones. When I pulled up in our Tundra, he gazed longingly at it. He mentioned that he missed his old one.

The main reason that he upgraded was that he needed the longer box in the Supercrew, which wasn’t available in the older version. He wasn’t exactly raving about the fuel mileage of his new one either.

That’s what we have, in a 2014 model. At the time we bought it, only Ford and Toyota had a usable Center seat in the front row with a shoulder restraint. We had to get the base model to get that option, though. Works for us!

Have a 2014 Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road with 5.7L
Just rolled over 450K average mixed fuel economy 15.2 l/100km.
Did brake pads 3 times orginal rotors.
Sonar stopped working a few years ago.
Changed all 4 power lock actuators, easy to do from Rock Auto parts.

No complaints other than the 80l fuel tank.
Just bought a 2024 Tundra today, hope its as good as this one.

Two friends have 2022 Tundras, and both are happy. I would have had one myself , if I didn't have to place an order and wait a year to get it. I hated the 98 liter tank on my 2007 Tundra, the 136l tank on my F150, is a real treat.

I wonder if a bigger tank can be installed from a company like titan tanks

I looked into them as well, but you do lose ground clearance since it sits lower. Not as big of an issue if you don't off-road with it.

You can install a later model tank from Toyota, but it is expensive.

My Tundra burned an extra 4L/100 km of fuel then my ford. So over 300,000 km that’s and extra $18,000 in fuel.

That is about the same as my Tundra vs my F150, but the biggest difference is range, my F150 with 136l tank has almost double the range of my Tundra with 98l tank. It has been a factor on hunting trips where fuel wasn't readily available.
