Is it worth the trade

You have to figure all the losses you have when buying and selling vehicles, taxes, various fees, depreciation and all. Not worth the savings in fuel. Drive the speed limits especially on the highways and you not regret keeping it.

 

Moped.

 

What he said^.

 

ha ha, 2 hours of driving every day on a moped, i would want to get hit in traffic!

 

get something economical if mpg is your only reason for considering a trade, the
4 bangers don't get much better mpg if any over what you have. If you love the truck
keep what you have.

 

Try driving 65mph.

 

This is why my other car is a Prius... gotta balance out the mpg my truck gets somehow!

For the curious:
Truck averages 15.1mpg
Prius averages 54 mpg

 

Have you considered getting a Gen. 2 Tacoma? My 2008 4-cyl. AC averaged 24 MPG combined, and I often got up to 27 MPG on long-ish highway trips. Loved that truck, and wish I could have kept it when I bought my 2017 (which I love even more!).

 

i actually traded a 2010 for my 2017. i loved the old one, but the new one is so much better.

 

Definitely agree with you on that!

 

Friend of mine bought a Civic because his commute went to an hour each way (like you). He liked the mileage and hated every day in the car. As soon as he got a closer job, Civic was gone.

 

Add the air dam from a TRD Sport. It's reported to make a 1 mpg difference.

 

Yup. I have a 2000 civic with 250k I drive daily. hour to work, hour home.

 

Im selling a motorcycle. 2017 Kawasaki Z125. Top speed is around 52. I am getting 135mpg.. I was planning on riding in the winter. Just wear more layers..

 

^^^This. The longer the commute, the more comfortable I want to be.

 

I’m not terribly comfortable in my commuter, but my truck is comfortable in my garage.

 

2017 sr5 v6 auto 4wd. Drive from Georgetown in the Mountains to Denver every day and back. Average 23 mpgs in the truck. I would say keep it.

 

When I had a 4cyl, I was averaging 22mpg most of the time with the rare 25mpg on long highway trips. Now a v6 gets me 17-19 on city with some traffic and 22mpg on highway trips.

Mpg is one of the reasons I got the 4 cyl initially but overall it's not a huge difference, specially if you gonna be trading. Not worth it.

 

Ill sell you the air dam off my TRD Sport if you want it.

 

No he actually has one on the worst. Where are you getting your information? This is a gen 3 Tacoma, not a Gen 2. Toyota's previous reliability ratings do not apply to the Gen 3. You need to check out Consumer Reports and other sources.
