Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

Still tryin to get that fvcker locked eh lulz

 

✋ Ive had a 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 automatic and now I own a 2020 TRD Off Road in a manual and driving the manual feels so much better!

 

sexy

 

yes she is lol

 

Yeah. I can't even get it paying for it.

 

same thing happened to me the saleswoman couldn't drive stick so she asked me to take it from the lot to the garage so it could get detailed

 

The grey TRD ball looks great! If you are going to use that, @7r41lbr34k3r makes a shift boot retainer that looks much better and cleans it up. I run that combo in mine and love it!

 

X2 on the boot retainer.

 

Just 1 of those remaining in stock right now, but I will have more soon (same with the full replacement like what @tonered has).

I'm still open to developing different variations if the need arises.

 

Whats up everybody,
I have a 2019 sport and have driven it ~2k miles so far. While managing a spreadsheet for miles per gallon and full tank miles with a pedal commander I thought some of you might be interested with what I have found recently.

With the PC on eco mode+1 I was averaging 20.2 mpg with regular 89 octane.

PC on sport 2+ I was getting 20.7 mpg with regular 89 octane.

PC on sport 2+ the last 2 fill ups have been 21.4 mpg with a 91 octane.

Still my same route to work - 8 miles highway 4 miles city streets. Has anyone else seen results this significant with higher octance taco sauce? And the Pedal Commander has significantly helped the feel of my truck, and I have seen increased MPG with it. Have the accumulator delete mod I am waiting to install after my first 5k mileage dealer check.

Be safe!
Q

 

How many miles did you drive to get each of these averages?

Also whuddup with that CEL after only 5k?

 

Just got mine last Tuesday and put 1400 miles to go visit some family (and show off the new truck)

 

I drive an average of 345 to get the numbers. I fill up a little early since I just got the truck and am learning the range.
And the CEL was on because I went to take the pic at the pump and was in accessory mode.

 

Ah you had me worried for a second. Interesting numbers though. I'd really like to see it with a couple thousand on each setting too.

 

The tank average display resets at each fill up so it won't be able to be a couple thousand, you can get over 400 on a tank though.

 

I switched to 91 octane last fall because that's the only ethanol free grade available at our local stations. I did notice an improvement in the tank average mpg --went from 22-23 to 24-25. Those numbers are consistent, and, hand calculated.

 

I only found ethanol free fuel one time near a boat ramp and filled my truck up, that tank did knock down 23 MPG.

 

I should have phrased that better. Record the tank averages for several thousand miles on each setting. Unless that's what he did and I misread it, although he's only got 5k on the thing so I'm thinking not.

 

Yea I bought it with 1965 on it so I am on my way to keeping the averages. I think ill be keeping it at sport +2 though because the city is just like taking off the PC and I had very little feel and felt like I was flooring it to get up to shift range ~3000+ RPM.

 

I can get 22/23MPG with regular/e10.

The problem with this truck for me is the gearing. You just can't get good gas mileage at 70MPH+. If I do 70, i average 19-20. It get's REALLY good mileage at 45-50...
