    The seller already posted the MPG
    "MPG City is usually 14-16 and highway at speeds of 55-65 is up around 19-20. I have actually gotten 22mpg on a stretch of 74/76 heading towards Charlotte, NC doing around 65mph.
    The truck does get pretty thirsty at speeds above 70mph.... like 11mpg and lower. But that is rolling at 70-80mph. "

    maybe quick compared to a stock tacoma....

    that is a heavy ass truck and a lot of added rotating mass, the added power will obviously make it scoot a little quicker, but i laugh at the statement about it walking on any mustang or corvette! must have been racing some v6's.

    I also think he is delusional about his mpg numbers. maybe when you were coasting downhill.

    edit: You might be able to get them for a short distance off the line if they don't hook up well.

    Ok so the truck is in Montana right. Which city?
    Lets assume Helena, MT. Flying into Helena, MT will cost about $650. Driving back to Denver (800mi, 18mpg, $3.60/gal) will cost around $160. Lets say $150 for a hotel stay somewhere decent. Plus two days wasted because of travel.
    Not a huge fan of the tan interior, but willing to compromise if the price is right.
    Will you go $35,000?

    Just saw Leland, NC. So thats about $500 to wilmington, $360 in gas back, $300 hotel, 3 days travel.

    instant MPG means nothing. You said you currently have a Tundra, Whats your mpg over an entire tank of fuel on average? and are you stock?

    No BS on MPG. If you need a video I can do that. I generally get 15-16 from Leland, NC - Wilmington, NC.

    It all depends on how hard you come off the line. I know how to drive this truck to get the best MPG just by listening to the engine and watching its shift points.

    I have never heard sh*t from either side of truck guys. Pretty much everyone I come in contact with gives me respect for my build and the looks of it.

    wow nice tundra the tan interior does look a bit out of place but its nothing that some alcantara and a good upholstery shop can't fix. probably cost a couple grand but, it would look sweet.

    glws wish i could buy it!

    Haha. you would be surprised. This truck can get up and go. From a 35mph roll, this truck can run with the bust of them. If your talking form a stop, no, its a truck, trucks don't have an rear end weight, therefore I would spin through a whole lot of tire. Take a look at some supercharged Tundra videos on youtube to get an idea. these trucks are fast.

    I had a supercharged tacoma (x-runner) yeah, not an off road truck but that truck was only a 4.0 and I was getting close to 400hp out of it. It was scary fast and dangerous..

    Tan actually looks really good in person. The interior is tan leather, dark brown dash, with grey accents. I personally think it looks better then the Grey leather they offer and the Black interiors don't look much better. There were not many options for this year. But the black exterior and the tan interior actually looks really good. And the leather still looks new, well taken care of, and conditioned monthly.
