Traded my Tacoma

Too many fanboys

 

How many forums are you people on?

I only have time for one. I don’t see how you could make time for more.

 

Let’s lighten up a bit guys lol.

 

Reading on some Hilux forums a user said he is getting (after converting from metrics) about 25 MPG going 80 mph with dual clutch automatic with a 2.8 diesel and then getting about 20 MPG in the city. I'm figuring at around 70 MPH he would be approaching 30 MPG. On Toyota's smaller diesel you might even get closer to 40 MPG. I want these engines. I know with the taco if you drive 80 mph your going to have some horrid MPG.

 

You won’t get those numbers on a Diesel that complies with US emissions standards. When you add in EGR and Urea efficiency drops significantly. I mean on a small Diesel car you might see 30 mpg overall but my buddies Ram has averaged around 30 mpg at best on highway at 65 mph and the Tacoma has a similar profile. That’s probably the best a legal Diesel Tacoma could do if Toyota made one.

 

I only contribute here and on Ridgeline World.

 

I only contribute right here on “how to fit the biggest tire dot com”

 

Well it's better then what the 3.5/6 is doing. I really don't know what to get. But my test drive did not go all that well the other day on that taco limited. Unfortunately the shifting early and searching gears on the a level road showed its ugly face almost immediately. Not a good first impression. I don't know if it was an 18 or 19 model. But doubt that would make much difference. But I agree, its a bitch getting these diesels through EPA. So at this point, I want the taco truck with Fords new 2.3 ecoboost. Can I have that? lol.

 

I know guys driving new 2500 duramax getting 16.mpg and the best part about that is they get it empty or towing a load

 

You know what I'm saying

 

Wait, I thought this was Ridgeline World?

 

Butthurt World

 

There is always the Colorado with the 2.8 duramax. Problem is, i don't care for the looks and the interior is just like any GM car. Boring. But the new 2.3 ecoboost in the ranger is only 1 mpg less on average. If Fords numbers hold up it will be a class leading motor. Well soon know as the embargo will be lifted next week.

 

Sounds just like Ridgeline World
