No more than 17 mpg hwy. is too be expected at first under 10K. I did not achieve 18 mpg until after 10K of driving and now at 25K 2 years later and I have achieved on a 250 mile trip up north going 65 mph 19 mpg, but no more than that ever. People…

I AGREE!

OUCH! I guess that'll be 12 sets of toe nails....and LOTSA labbie poo. Nah, more careful if they're in the bed....even in the cab she'll roll around sitting on the speakerbox if not careful. At least I give the signal to "hold…

Poor dogs nail beds are the weak link in that equation. You get to your destination and find 4 perfect sets of doggy toe nails and a little doggie doo doo in your bed.

Hey, I invested good money in that bedliner so she could have a firm grip!

Keeping your foot off the floor will also help to keep the dogs safely in the bed of the truck. ha ha ha

Great!! You've reminded me I need to post my accomplishment of 19MPG the other morning on the way to work. It sure helps when you keep your foot off the floor. ;-)

back again with an update. put a hard fold-up cover on my bed and a K&N filter element on my crew max. filled up and took a trip north to cedar hills state park. during the trip, checked the milage and saw 19.1 mpg. so guess i am at my max hiway…

Welcome, Rick. Your MPG does seem a bit low so start monitoring your acceleration and speed a bit to see how you can improve it. I'm thinking you should be able to get around 17 MPG. I have a DC 4x4 Long Bed and usually fill up every 315 miles.…

LOL you guys are bad. I actually have seen the gains with the CAI/Catback and once I proved my investment was worth it, I started hitting it just to run people into the slow lane. It's brutal when you get beside an 18-wheeler and let it rip!!!!!
Bryce replied to Ray's discussion '2009 Tundra Crew Max Upgrades'
I have a problem with CIA when it gets loud I push the gas more. So I never noticed a gain with CIA but its fun as hell!!!
Bac Ta replied to Ray's discussion '2009 Tundra Crew Max Upgrades'
After I added the CAI mine's down to 11.4 AVG MPG haha... Your hypothesis is so true...
TXTee replied to Ray's discussion '2009 Tundra Crew Max Upgrades'
You're the first I've heard no improvement with a cover. Wow! if you like quiet don't bother changing anything. Plus I think most of us who have added CAI and catback make sure at some point we drop the MPG to 3 or so just to hear…

I'm getting the same mpg ,(when i can keep my foot out of it)..and i have the snug tonneau, i haven't noticed any difference in mpg ...im still between 15 and 17....ive been thinking about the CAI and a cat back ....but they are not…
