possible buyers remorse or six envy

The added fuel economy of the 4cyl would save me around 8 grand in fuel over 5 years but who's counting? I like having the extra power in case I absolutely... must... go somewhere fast.

 

Im talking City driving! and also have you seen my Truck?? I drive hard (Ask around lol) My tire\wheel combo weighs in around 125\pc plus full belly pan and bumpers. when I role around 70ish I get around 20ish. and now with the electric fans should be better on the highway.

 

Do you do a lot of driving? Assuming an average 4.0 gets around 19 mpg and an average 2.7 gets around 24 mpg (I'm estimating here) and that an average gallon of gas costs around $2.75, to save $8,000 in 5 years, you would need to be driving around 4400 miles/month or 53,000 per year!!!

 

I've actually driven the 2.7 on a 2007 regular cab 2wd. It was my cousin's truck and I was behind the wheel driving it 50 miles and traded it in for a 2009 AC v6. My driving experience with it was fine and it would be good for daily commuting. I did however noticed that it lacked passing power on the highway and going up a hill. It all comes down to a matter of preferrence and affordability. It was traded in with 26K miles becaues my cousin didn't want to pay any more for something he wasn't happy with. He said "I should have gotten the v6 to begin with".

 

gonna keep my 4 banger, i may have let my buddy's hypeing of his ride along with the grass is always greener thing get me carried away. i love this little 4 banger and worked real hard to get her.im sorry baby,ill never drive another car again, how does a nice wax and a 93oct fill up sound? what did you say? you want me inside of you!! okay but your making me blush, gonna have to give you a bath you dirty little taco!!

 

Tacos do drop like a feather i am so happy with the re-sale value of Tacos being high. I recently purchased a pre-owned Taco myself after about a month's homework and test driving more than 15 Tacos. Most of them were all between 50k to 100k miles ranging from 05-08 all DC and Either one of the TRD packages and most of them were averaging around 15,500 to 20,000. So i was very suprised to see that the price for a pr owned is not too much apart from a brand new out the lot. Got mine for 1800 OTD. 60k miles 05 trd off road

 

Wish I could find some that cheap, I'd buy more than one!

 

I have an 06' V6 D-Cab PreRunner and I average 19-20 with about 70% of that being city drving. So I don't know about you but I will stick with my ballsy V6 rather than going to a 4-banger. I haven't driven the 4-banger so I don't know the difference between the two but I love flying up the canyon roads at 70 with the pedal not even half way in.
