    Yea, IDK. I mean.... I'd give up my Fuel Mileage if it meant fixing the Tranny issues I'm having currently. 1 week left, and if not fixed, she gets the old lemon treatment. Can't handle it anymore.

    My recent trip back to SF from Monterey with some stop and go traffic. Keep it at 70 and it really helps with MPGs vs 75mph.

    I don't doubt it. It all depends on how you drive the vehicle after all.

    Anyone with an ecoboost or tacoma can get either great or horrible mpgs. It ultimately comes down to their driving style and mods that might affect mpgs.

    The seat massages in the platinum really is quite a treat. 5.0 or ecoboost?

    We used to tow a 22' Proline w/ a 1992 Explorer Sport. It was touchy but not over tasked. I'm surprised at the tacoma.

    Ok, other than Quicksand and Black, what tactical colors? I’m unaware of any others.

    Idk if you've ever gotten that massage in the seat, it's nothing serious lol. I may have used it once or twice, but got the ecoboost bud

    I liked my Tacoma, but in the end they don’t compete with a fullsize for what I need. I don’t off-road, but I need a truck to tow, haul, and take long road trips in. The F150 is way better at all those things. I also could never go back to a midsize truck after being used to the space of an F150.

    If I was more concerned about off-road ability and didn’t need the space, I’d probably still be in a Tacoma. In my experience, MPGs were basically a wash. This is my 2016 Lariat on 35s...gets about 17 city, 19 highway.

    No regrets on buying my 18 TRD Sport DCSB in cement. I opted for all the feature. Tech package bed cap etc. Looked at a 2018 f150 before the Tacoma being my daily was a 17 mustang. 63,000 for a FX4 was way to much for my liking. Although my buddy’s 14 f150 ecoboost rides nice and has a decent power with a tune and intercooler. He bought it used with 30,000 for what I paid out the door for my new Tacoma. Only thing I don’t have is AC seats
