From 2010 to a 2016

Loved my 2010 trd sport but ended up having a bunch of electrical issues with the truck so I figured it was a good time to up grade.
Brand new 2016 trd off-road with all the goodies in her. Picked her up with 12 miles and she currently sits with 2100 miles. I absolutely love my 2016!!! Between the ride and the way better fuel economy I get I would say I love Little Red! So far in the month and a half of ownership I have no complaints at all! Hopefully the mighty lil 3.5L will hold up to the Toyota known longevity. Now for the mods to come and the wallet to shrink....

 

jesus man I cant get my MPG over 21 and I drive like a bitch i'm currently sitting at 16.4 I have 1000 miles on mine. The best I have seen is 20-21

 

I hear everyone that say they struggle to get over 20mpg. Driving back and forth to work I get 23-25mpg just cruising along 65mph. I did notice my MPG increased after the first 1000 miles for me.

 

Average fuel economy 27?? Wtf. It's not even rated that high lol

 

well I hope mine gets better over time

 

Rated for it or not I can easily get her to read over 23 everytime I drive her ha-ha. My foot must not be as heavy as some people's lol. Light weight shoes

 

Uhhm it's rated at 23 so you are on the dot.

27 however isn't.

I get anywhere from 21-23 which it's rated for so I have no complaints

 

No complaints from me by any means!! I struggled to get over 18 in my 2010 Tacoma and my 2007 FJ I was lucky to see 15.

 

Toyota must love you to give the additional .1L, rest of us have to make do with 3.5L

Lol :-D enjoy man!!

 

Wow are those Canadian miles?

I have a TRD OR 4X4 AUTO, I don't even get close to that.

 

Ha-ha my bad on the typo! 3.5L ha-ha

 

Ha-ha nope not Canadian miles! Good ol Oregon miles! I have found that with the Oregon speed limit not exceeding 55 mph so my driving between 60-65mph seems to be the sweet spot for me! Don't quote me on it but 75mph might hinder your fuel economy a smidgen ha-ha

 

In Canada it kilometers not miles 60mph equals 100km/h

That and as your gears start to break in you should get better mileage out of your truck

 

YES you are correct, 60 - 65 mph will get me maybe around 17 mpg. I love my Taco, but was hoping for better mileage. The posted speeds here are 75 mph and 80 mph. I have a 2002 4x4 Explorer with a V8 that gets 19 mpg at 75 mph.

I have 8300 miles on mine: who knows maybe with more miles it will get better.

 

Enjoy your new truck op and welome to TW. There is a thread about 100 pages long on mpg if folks want to vote and read about what others experiencing.

 

Nice welcome

 

Using cruise control will net you worse mileage.

Nice truck and congrats!

 

I usually get way better mileage than it's rated at. I routinely get 20-23MPG around town (city).

 

Great looking truck! Just curious, what kind of electrical issues were you having with your 2010?

 

Thank you! So far I'm loving it! I've been lurking around on TW for a while and finally decided to share my experience with the great community TW has.
