Have you taken it out yet?

 

Of the box? No it's a collectors item. Might be worth something one day

 

Congrats! Looks like it was just used to get groceries.

 

Thanks. It's been about 2 weeks now and I love it. It gets almost the same mileage as my first gen too so I'm pretty happy with it

 

So better than my 4 cylinder 2nd gen. :-/

 

Better mileage? I doubt that. I been getting about 17-18mpg on the highway. My Tacoma rarely got over 19 highway mpgs. I think 21 was the best it ever got

 

I get 17 mpg. Not sure if Austin traffic, but the best I’ve gotten is 20, and that was only once.

 

I consistently got 25 in my 1st gen, same driving situation. I’ll be getting a used 6 cylinder 2nd gen next, I’m used to the bad gas mileage now.

 

Just follow my lead into a first gen tundra. You wont be disappointed and you'll have more capability and capacity

 

Yeah that's pretty bad for a 4.
My 2.5 L ranger got consistently about 350 to a 15gal tank no matter how iI drove it

 

OP and thread title need an update. “Because Minitruck’s not-so-mini truck.”
