    Respectfully, I tried to achieve it. Very slow acceleration and speeds under the speed limit. It just couldn't get close to the stated mpg without 62 mph on flat ground. Pulls like a beast though. The 5.0 does better. If I can see just a few people post TRD OR 4x4 mpgs at 19+avg I'd be convinced. Over 20 on the highway and its a done deal.

    I just figured out multi quote. I drove from toyota straight to the gmc and Chevy dealer down the road. The gm twins looked great but the minute I saw that the front end was the exact same height as the crossovers and cars parked next to them I walked away. It just didn't have the approach angle to match the ground clearance. It's useless Offroad without modification.

    nothing cool
    Damn that's good looking. I'd probably still get black or white. But that looks really good. My salesman buddy called me on a white one last year and I was seriously considering it. Wife even said go for it. But that's before I knew the price. Didn't realize the 4Runner TRD Pro cost $44k. I thought they were around $33-35k. Had no clue. That money isn't anywhere near my budget. Gonna stick with my Taco.

    The new Tacoma is very good looking, the front end just needs some modification.
    The colorado is litterally I think the ugliest vehicle ever made. Look at the front to back tilt. It's clear the designer was drunk when they drew up the plans and no one cared to fix it.
