Her First "road trip"

Alright everyone i got a 2007 tacoma trd o.r. with 5100 at 2.5 265/75-16 bfg all tearrain ko's and a snug top supersport camper shell.... oh and she has roughly 17500 miles....

and i am taking her up to lake nacimiento for a week... its an estamated 6 hours and 50 min.... and im following my parents who are driving up the boat so who knows how much longer it will be... is there anywhere local i could get a scangauge and installed before sunday? cuz i would like to know the gas mileage..... and i was wondering how do they do with longer drives? comfy? lets hear your input on how they do with long trips

now if we could get derek in here!

(oh and i live in san diego californiaaaaaaaa)

 

Install is very very very easy. Like plug it in to the OBII easy. Just do Amazon overnight shipping.

 

i just checked and it said earliest i could get it is monday

 

these trucks do great on trips, Ive driven from texas to idaho and back and not a single problem with my truck.

 

... had really intended on reading this thread but instead I just stared at your sig for 4 minutes. What was the question again...???

 

hahahahahahahahaha thats going in my sig

 

x2 I couldn't even read about your road trip for the swirling buildings.
Geez my head is spinning now.

 

Damn... your own signature thread-jacked your own thread!!!! Buuuut I take my stocko-taco long road trips all the time and its awesome and I don't live in Southern California (yet...) so I can't help ya there!

thanks! i just say san diego cuz no one knows where i live... i live in carlsbad it in san diego county but the city is carlsbad.... so the closest one would be the place in san marcos! i might go pick it up tomorrow!

 

I just installed mine last weekend, so far it's really cool. Just give yourself a few minutes to set it up right to your truck (engine size, tank size, larger tires, etc.)

I'd give 'em a call and make sure they have one. The Dyno Shop looked like a fun place to go.

 

The TW community will chip in to buy your scangauge and install it if.... YOU STOP WITH THE GOD DAMN SIGS!!!!

 

i dont even know what a scangauge is but..................





how dare you change your sig? man that was like a symbol of TW lol

 

I spent two summers in Oceanside with my best friend and her husband... he was stationed in Oceanside so I always went through Carlsbad. We always ate at this awesome mexican restaurant there before we'd head to SD for Padres games. Life's rad in Carlsbad!

 

Soon after I got my truck I drove from the Bruce Nuclear plant in Tiverton, ON, to Thunder Bay, ON. About 16 hours of a drive and the truck loved it. I loved the way the truck drove too. Had to use 4HI a bunch of times due to snow/slush on the highway, but no problems at all - except a speeding ticket that my buddy got on the way home when I let him drive Overall it was a comfortable drive and she had no issues with the long hill climbs up around Lake Superior.

 

You usually do not get an accurate MPG reading until the 3rd tank (fillup).

I averaged 18.6 mpg driving to and from Pismo last weekend.

 

Drive 8 hours to visit my gf in Gainesville - great ride all the way down....now if I could get more of a view outside of the truck it would be perfect haha.

What part of Idaho did you go to Keason1? My parents live in Boise ^^
