Old truck guy,new truck

jhsfxrt · 05-14-2008, 06:46 PM

Hello Folks, I've owned 4 full size trucks, purchased new since 1977. 3 Fords & a GMC. Got an 08 Tacoma 4cyl, 5sp, 2wd access cab and my first 1/2 tank of gas went 24.67 mpg, half on the highway. Looks like good times ahead!! If you haven't already done it ,Google "NUMMI- Fremont, Ca" and see were Tacos come from. This plant produces 3 of the highest rated vehicles in the USA, including my 2005 Pontiac Vibe (matrix). I'll be posting alot of questions so please be patient with the new guy. P.S.-Word around here says the Stanley Cup is coming to town.
