2013 4cyl Double Cab

Thanks. Those are the wheels that came from the factory when I ordered it. I had to special order it since the dealership did not carry any 4 banger Pre-Runners. Took about three weeks to get it. I expected a different style of wheel but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the truck. The only thing I did was add the running boards because my wife and daughter had a hard time getting in the truck without one. Matter of fact, today, 2/10/13, is exactly one year since we bought it.

 

Hope you don't mine my asking. You got for $22,990, was it out of the door price or plus tax and vehicle registration fee?

 

I purchased my trk Sep 2012 and found if I drove super slow I could get 23/24 mpg. But in the city with freeway traffic requiring more acceleration I got 19/20 mpg.

I have 7K miles on it and my avg is approx 20 mpg. Freeway travel long distance(not city freeway where idiots run you off the road for doing only 10 mph over the limit) I get 22/23 mpg.

The performance on the new engine was lame to start with but is improving as I have more miles on it. I think the computer on the engine limits performance until a decent breakin mileage has occurred.

My last vehicle was a chevy 1/2 ton V6 5 sp and the gas economy was the same but with more pep. Had I known then what I know now I would have bought another chevy p/up. I bought the taco for economy but it's not much better than a full size p/up.

I hope reliability is good so I did not waste my $$$ on the taco.

Regards, Ron

 

I had to go work on my Moms house so I loaded up the truck with lawn mower weed eater table saw miter saw about 400 lbs of wood and tools and headed east mixed driving highway and city (panima city beach during spring break traffic) I drove 362.4 miles on 14.03 gallons and got 25.83 mpg! I am just over 8 k on the truck

My truck looks the same except that I still have the stock tires/wheels, 215/70-15. I want to replace them with something a little bigger. What size do you have? Did it require any mods?

Thanks

 

Nope that's all stock tires, I just paint the rims with plastic dip hehe, If I don't like I can always take out the paint is a plastic paint, painted that november until now paint still stick lol. Next month planning on changing the tires and rims and lift the truck for 2 inch.

 

Rac, you should note your truck is the 5 lug and gatnilab is the 6 lug (prerunner). His stock tire size 245/75r16 and is geared for the larger tire.

 

You will LOVE IT !!!

 

i have a 4cyl '13 dc, 2,000 miles on it. my scangauge (which i installed the first week i got the truck) is saying ave mpg per tank is 22.5 and thats with the racks on top. good enough for me. driving habit is never more than +3-ish over the speed limit and im not afraid to floor if its a must.
