Fuel efficiency is a significant consideration for prospective truck owners. The amount of fuel consumed per distance traveled directly impacts the overall cost of ownership and operational expenses. For the 2022 model year of Toyota’s mid-size pickup, this metric is determined by engine choice, drivetrain configuration (2WD or 4WD), and driving conditions.
Understanding a vehicle’s fuel economy provides valuable insight into its environmental impact and budget planning. Historically, trucks were often associated with lower fuel economy compared to passenger cars. However, advancements in engine technology, aerodynamics, and weight reduction have led to improvements in the fuel efficiency of modern trucks. This directly impacts factors such as the cost of regular commutes, long-distance travel, and the vehicle’s suitability for different types of work or recreational activities.
