    2013 TRD 6 Speed
    I ve only owned Chevy products until now. Just picked up a 2013 TRD w/ 6 speed manual trans. So far I like everything except gas milage. Truck is very nimble, drives great an I am looking to get ideas on different mods and learn from others. I ve been a guest many times so i figured it was time to start asking questions. So I joined.....

    Yea, the wife has 4 runner an I assumed milage would be about the same until the drive home an I noticed 2600 rpm at 70mph I knew then no way was I going to get 20+ out of it. But I still like having control of the hp with standard an pulling a trailer it should help.
