3" toytec lift

[longtime parkie]

So, whta kind of mpg are folks getting after a lift and 285 70 17 tires are put on? Also will a 285 70 17 tire fit underneath where the spare goes?

I get 17.5 and I'm not hard on the skinny pedal but I don't take my time getting places. Recent highway trip I was getting 19 mpg.

This thread is relevant to my interests as well, Im looking at installing a Toytec Ultimate lift around Xmas hopefully.

 

[telockey]

I dropped between 4-6 mpg. I am now getting 18 mixed highway/city and am very light on the pedal.

 

[KS4RUNNER]

I lost 1 mpg from 19 to 18.

 

[adio3x]

Yes spare will fit a 285. I think I was getting around 17 with my old setup.

If you are knowingly going to be lifting and putting on larger tires, MPG should not really be a big concern. If MPG is a concern get a crossover like the RAV 4. Just a rant....sorry.

:iagree:

On the rare occasion I reset my gauge to check mileage, I'm not about 14-15 with regular driving. 33s and a rack killed whatever mileage I was getting before. Not so sure how ya'll get all of these 19s and 20 mpgs without driving slower then a granny.

Good question, the highest I've seen is like 18.2, but not really caring about mpg. I knew what I was getting into when I bought it...

My experience with mixed driving (10% ethanol mix):

Stock: 18.2 mpg
Stock+275s: 17.8 mpg
275s+lift: 17.2 mpg
285s+lift: 17.0 mpg

I do not drive aggressively, but not a light on the go-pedal either.

I'm still looking for a place in KC to do the install. Fuuuu

I agree. I'm getting 20 right now in bone stock configuration. I'm expecting to go down to about 17 (if I'm lucky) when I get my lift and tires.

Sorry man. I did the lift myself with help from a couple friends. I could recommend a great sports car mechanic in KC. But I wasn't really in to trucks when I was living there.

15 mpg in the city

 

[cbielat]

Just reset my mpg and it's reading 18.2 after a couple of days.

Yup. VERY close to my experience. I just installed 3" Toytec, 285/75R18 A/T3's, and FN BFD wheels.

I drive in complete S**T traffic 60 miles a day commuting...dropped from ~18MPG to 16.7MPG but I am fairly heavy-footed.

Certainly didn't buy this thing with ANY eye toward MPG. In the end, you bought the wrong vehicle if you're looking for economy of course.

I would really like to know how people get 20ish lifted.... I barely get that stock and I live at sea level

Easy...

It's done with a special accessory. It's called "The Broken Calculator".

Yeah same here. Highest Ive seen so far was 21, and that was on the highway with cruise set at 55. I just drove from Eastern NC to Little Rock AR this week and averaged 19 on the way here. :wtf:

 

[SgnDen]

And there ya have it! Ha.
