    Bought a 2007 Yamaha edition Tacoma yesterday. 6 speed manual with tow package. Very pleased with the condition of the truck, mint inside and out! Only 76 000km. Interested to see how it is on gas, as it is my only concern so far with the truck.

    Bought it to replace my 1998, so anyone in Nova Scotia interested in a 98 in great shape that's had a considerable amount of upgrades let me know!

    Yamaha? As far as mpg, a lot of people here are getting around 18-19 for an average. All depends on how you drive it and conditions around you. I get almost 19 driving mostly highway.

    The Yamaha edition wasn't any more than a base model 2008 with more km at a different dealer. So far very pleased with it, excellent step up from a '98. Will post what I get for mileage after I run my first tank through.

    Too bad Yamaha had no hand in the engine development. Last time Yamaha helped Toyota design an engine:

    I've had it since June 2011 and put over 80,000km on it without a bit of fuss or trouble. Much of that working in the bush up North. It's been a great, tough truck so far!

    To answer your mileage question, I've been pretty consistent between 12.0L/100km and 14L/100km.

    Excellent, I love the truck so far. What an great feel compared to a 98, very impressed with the 6 speed as i know a lot of people don't like it. I think it's a keeper!

    Yes, Please fill us in on the specifics of this Yamaha Edition.

    It wasn't available in our area.

    I have hauled Yamaha's in mine, but that is as close to Yamaha it ever was.
