Driving 120 miles per day...

That's cause they figure you have money to waste if you can afford the gas for it.

 

Go for it. I drive a 07 dcsb 4x4 120miles per day and it's great. 20mpg average and has been very reliable. Sure it isn't the most frugal choice but I need a truck regardless and a second vehicle just doesn't make sense.

I've looked at replacing it with a 3rd gen but it felt essentially the same as my 2nd gen and would of cost me 20k plus my trade to move up. I'll wait until the 4th gen

 

I get 14-16 mpg in my tundra. Got 14-18 in my 4.0 tacoma. If I had the 3.5....well I wouldn't. It's the reason I got the 5.7.

 

My gen 1 Taliban special gets 21mpg

My gen 3 gets 19.5

Never owned an ugly gen 2


I would love it if gas was $10/gallon here
All the poor people would be home
And we could rule the roads

 

Finally! someone speaking the truth!

 

Tundra to a Tacoma, do it! nuff said!

 

If my tundra got 10 mpg...the extras, comfort, power, size, amenities, price, and panty dropper factor would still make it worth it. But it doesn't get much worse mileage at all.

 

I drove my 2002 gen 1 over 200 miles per day, 5 days a week, and 40 of it was on mountain dirt roads. I hope my Gen 3 can handle that type of abuse! Luckily, and sadly, that 2-year project is done and I only drive off-road on my own time anymore Total mileage before I sold the Gen 1 was 270k without any major problems. It was still clean, rattled a bit, but otherwise a great truck still. It just didn’t have enough power to pull our RV trailer in the mountains. I sure hope the Gen 3 does as well, the experiment is on!

 

All it would take is one trip on a secondary highway.

Once you figured out how little time and effort it takes for a 5.7 to pass a car on a 2 lane road, you would be sold.

Yes, the Tundra is that fast.

 

Easy on the gen 2 haterade

 

I didn't catch that til you mentioned it. Lol.

 

In his defence he does refer a 1st gen as a Taliban special.

Equal opportunity offender.

No demerits awarded.

 

Tundras are awesome. I do miss the 5.7 with the 4.30 gears.

 

Bahaha

 

Even better when you get into a pre 2010. The later models had a stupid, dumbed down gas pedal.

 

yea that dude says some crazy shit

 

This. I have a 2008 Yaris I bought for 6k a few years ago that gets 40mpg every tank no matter how I drive it.

 

I have a sport, 2016, on the hwy I average between 22-24, mixed driving 20-22, can't remember the last time I was under 20, and I don't drive slow!!!

 

Honestly,

I've never even driven a 2nd or a 3rd gen. Im hoping to be impressed when I do.
