Would you ever Consider trading in your tacoma for a car to save gas??

I want another car so I don't put as many miles on the Tacoma, but I need the bed, use it atleast every weeek

 

I don't really think about selling the truck for a car, or buying a car to make my DD.... BUT, when the time comes to sell the truck, I've certainly considered getting a more fuel efficient car instead of another Tacoma.

 

I traded in a VW Touareg for the Tacoma, think I'll keep the truck. It will run on 87 octane.

 

Only if the price of gas quadrupaled.

 

I traded up from a Mazda3. MPG was a consideration, but in the end the less efficient Tacoma is worth it for me. The overall utility, enjoyment, and quality far outpace the fact that I'm burning more gas now.

 

Gas would have to stay at $4.5+ for me to consider another vehicle and even at that price I would probably just buy a daily. If you see how f'ed up the body of my truck is you'll know that I'm one of those who needs a truck.

 

Not really...I did go from a 2007 Mazda3 s to a 2005 DC Tacoma.

However I am driving to DFW from College STation on a more regular basis and the idea of a more fuel effecient car does sound good.

If I really wanted to get better gas milage I may consider taking off the lift and installing highway tires on the truck first and see if that helps.

 

Hey....you too!

 

At this point no, b/c i have a motorcycle that gives me about 37mpg

 

Exactly what I finally gave up holding out for! I just traded my Escape Hybrid (which I loved, for the record) in for my new Tacoma, and have been pleasantly surprised at the great gas mileage so far. No, it's not as good as the Escape, but mtn biking and kayaking are a heck of a lot easier now, plus....the Tacoma looks a lot damn cooler doing it too!!
So yeah, the only thing I'd trade for is a Tacoma Hybrid..come on Toyota, you did it for the PrieO'Shit, you can do it for the Taco!

 

A house needs a truck. I own a house.

 

From what I am hearing on the news gas is projected to hit the 5 doller mark here real soon. Even with that my taco is not goin anywhere.

I have company truck too..

 

Did that a few yrs ago and regretted it!! Truck is so useful to own. I ended buying a cheap Honda for daily work commute.

 

I would definitely 'consider' it, but would probably decide against it. Hard to say.

 

i'd rather walk then drive a fkn car

 

I've owned some sort of truck for fifty years or so. Always need it for hauling stuff but if I sell the ranch, then maybe I will try a car.
I do have several motorcycles and a scooter that get great gas mileage but can't haul much junk. Seems like I always need to haul something.


Come to think of I guess I do have some kinda car.

 

I would never trade in my truck!!! Luckily I have another car as a daily driver and its great on gas! Truck sits in the garage all week. It goes out on the weekends only most of the time. I know I know!!!

 

Nope I need a truck but when it's paid of I might get an 2011-2012 mustang GT 26mpg and 400 hp.

 

I actually traded in a honda civic for the truck, I sure am going to the pumps more often.

 

Yeah, me too. The Mazda3 is a great car, but I needed more utility out of my vehicle. Now I have it.
