Pulled the trigger on my TACOMA last night.

Well i jumped feet first into the fire last night...Traded in my 08 Tundra Crewmax for a 05' TRD Sport Access Cab, 6spd manual... she has only got 58k on her Indigo Ink...Will post some pics later on...She has got a couple very minor scratches here and there but oh well it is a truck...Overall very clean..inside and out. Gray interior...Bridgestone Duellers AT (not sure if these are anygood but have good tread)

Coming home last night just to ease the pressure of buying a car. I drove across the lawn and took out a few 5ft.wooden stakes the Apt complex uses in the winter to mark out the edges of the parking lots...then I threw her in 4hi and drove it in the ditch and out the other side...

Will post a few pics later on when i get home...Sun wasnt up yet this morning when i left for work.

 

i would love a crewcab tundra. why did u trade?

 

I have a longer commute and to lower my payment, better gas milage...lower insurance...trying to save some cash these days...When i bought the Tundra i only had a 6 mile commute, now it is 70miles round trip...

Dont get me wrong that Tundra was amazing i loved it...TRD fully loaded 5.7...but i didnt need all that truck right now.

 

ooooohhhhhhhh i see. thats a good reason

 

I hear ya about the Tundra, IMO they just went way too big on the new body style. When I bought my Tacoma I really thought long and hard about getting a 07 low mile tundra. In the end I'm glad I stuck with the Tacoma.

 

Don't get me wrong...If i had the Tacoma payment on my tundra i would have kept it...Lucky for me i didnt really have an inequity to roll into my taco so payments are about $200 less each month.

 

If you bought the Tacoma to get better gas mileage you just might of made a mistake. I've heard some here say you get better gas mileage with the V8 Tundra than you do with the V6 Tacoma. My V6 Tacoma is a gas hog in my opinon (14.5 mpg), I'm constantly pulling into the gas station. Hope you have better luck with mpg than I do.

 

I get around 16 with BFG A/T 285's, up from about 15 when I put the the AFE air filter, good luck man

 

yeah from i do mostly highway the tundra had the 5.7 and she only got about 16mpg highway 16mpg city too lol.

 

Mine is all interstate 70 mph highway driving also....14.5 mpg city and highway. I've checked it 3 different times, same everytime even when using different brands 89 octane gas. I have an aFe Pro Dry filter, tire pressure is right, just don't know what to do to get any better mileage.

 

^ Lead foot? I have a loead foot and a 6-spd and I always get between 16-17. Imagine what I would get w/o the lead foot...lol!

 

good luck to ya.tundra is an awsome truck as is the tacoma.and the fuel milage is alot better on the tacoma.i get 18 to 21 city/highway driving with my set up.bro has 05 tundy stock and getting 13 to 16 city /highway.

 

What oil/thickness are you running??
