Yeah i would have expected a bit more out of the hybrid.
Similar to the old LS600h approach of power over MPG. Kind of almost defeats the purpose of having a hybrid in the first place really. Its still an improvement though, but it could (and really should) have been much more. |

it's also EPA drive cycle, which falls into an 'average', not a rule.
all about use. some people are going to drive gingerly enough to see 20mpg differences, lead foots like me will see a reduction because of the smaller displacement and f/i combo. i just looked the other day, my tacoma averages around 13 mpg. EPA says 20mpg. i also hold 4th, hate 5th, and shift myself most times because auto programming short-shifts everywhere at something like 1500 rpm.

2022 Toyota Tundra Recalled over Loose Nuts; New bZ4X also Recalled as Wheels Could Fall Off
The recall of some 46,000 pickups will address a problem with nuts on the rear axle assembly that can loosen over time. In the case of the 2023 bZ4X EV, it's a bolt problem that can make wheels come loose.
The announcement states that owners of affected vehicles will be notified by late July 2022, but does not give a specific date. Dealers will inspect and tighten loose nuts or, if necessary, replace them, Toyota said. The Tundra recall comes just one day after the company issued a separate recall on the just-released 2023 bZ4X EV over wheels that could fall off. In this case, the hub bolts on a wheel could come loose, causing the wheel to detach from the car. While the bZ4X recall only affects 260 vehicles in the U.S. and about 2700 total worldwide, the company stated that no one should drive these cars until a remedy is found. Owners of these cars should have been notified on June 23. In both cases, vehicle owners can check the NHTSA recalls website where the recall information should be posted soon, to find out if their vehicle is included https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a4...dras-recalled/ |
