    Had a 2005 pre runner 2.7 standard, 2wd miss that truck.:(
    Bought a 2018 TRD pro 4x4 V6 sold it to get something that could haul the toyhauler.
    Going to west tx I got 6-7 mpg and could not get over 60 to 65mph towing with the V6 unless I drafted semi’s. So I got a power wagon that got 6-7 mpg but I can do 80 if I want.
    Still the siren call of a Taco sang to me like a sailor who has not had a port call forever.
    I’m retired but went back to work..teaching now, not contracting anymore. Don’t need the money but I’ll take it.:) Mainly doing it to keep my sanity by helping youngsters find their way (linesman’s school).
    Still, that song would not stop, so I got the SR 2.7 4x4 2023, figured I’d keep it as is till things started wearing out tires, suspension among other things. Told my wife I gonna pull the wheels off her TRD Rav to put on my truck (just kidding). I really like the plain Jane looks of it. List of things that can’t wait is one..a key fob. Next up will be black fender flares like my old pre runner had and a more dirt oriented set of tires not to aggressive, I’ve got some thing for that, just for mountain fire roads. I would like to get a storm trooper wrap that blends and is not too loud. Not trying to show out just personalize it.
    I found this forum looking up info on the truck and it is the best one I could find.
    Thank you all for your great posts.
    The vehicles are not my vehicles but exactly what I have, I could not get my gdrive photos to show up on my I pad.BC14AA9F-B048-4423-BBD9-3DAF31360319.jpg00E71AB4-3656-49B5-BDA9-D737C272F0DA.jpg
