First Time Tacoma owner

hello All, here's my 2016, 4x4 Off-Road Barcelona Red, delivered in mid February. Mileage was terrible during the first 4k miles, averaging between 17 and 19 mpg, then gradually improved to 20-21 mpg. Trying to squeeze in 23 mpg, may happen in my next long road trip. Loved this pick-up from the get go. have 9k miles on it now, still looking forward to dunking into the rocky off-road trail someday (just don't forget to bring along the wrenches to take off those steps). Found a lot of great tips here, thanks for all the tips. This beast is certainly a lot bigger than the earlier generations, only a tad smaller than the Tundra.

 

Congrats on your new truck. And good luck on your MPG quest.

 

Nice truck! Welcome to the forum.

 

Thank you... enjoying this puppy since the day I drove off the dealer's lot, took a while to get the transmission to acclimate to my driving habit (or the other way around), but power is there when I need it.
