    26 gallons would also provide decent range when towing. Tacoma is gonna get about 10-12 mpg towing so those extra five gallons make the towing experience much better. The old Toyota trucks with the camper built on the frame had a 30 gallon tank. Why is it so hard to put a 30 gallon fuel tank on a 2016 frame?

    You could get an old Ford 19 gallon rear mounted tank (from LMC truck)...that will give you 40 gallons.

    Most turbos, I said. It remains to be seen in terms reliability how they do, or at least as far as I can see, I haven't tested them myself.

    I'm not sure I trust forced induction in any engine for long term reliability, but I'll hand it to Ford, it's one way to get adequate power out of a small displacement 4 or 6 cylinder.
