    Around here the DC 5 lugs were quite rare. I've only seen 3 or 4 in person

    I'm getting 17-22 depending on the driving conditions. We also have the winter fuel blend right now which isn't as efficient. Today hauling 30 tires I got 200 miles out of just a touch over half a tank. I'm also at 240k miles and starting to consume a bit of oil.

    See that's pretty good right now I average about 14 to 16 in my v6 Ford F-150 and I deliver heavy equipment and medical equipment I do about 400 miles at night I'm paying about 45 to 60 dollars in gas depending on how much it is a night

    If you're delivering heavy equipment, the payload is what you'll have to be aware of. Right now with gas prices in my location ($2.49) it costs me about 43 bucks to fill from empty. And I get about 300-350 miles out of a tank currently.

    Oh yeah that would be fine then. I'd highly recommend the truck overall. Especially if you can get one for a decent price.

    what kind of gas mileage are you getting how many miles are you getting out of a full tank of gas see I deliver at night and I'm wanting to upgrade my delivery vehicle something new and I want to do either a 2nd gen or 3rd gen Tacoma depending on what kind of gas mileage they get

    How does your TRD Sport handle in the snow? Just got a 2015 Sport and always think about not having a rear locker to help.

    One thing I've discovered, having owned both the 2.7 and the 4.0, is that under normal driving conditions there isn't always a huge difference in fuel economy between the two...regardless of what the sticker may say. The 2.7 engine isn't really about better efficiency as much as it is a price point. The 4.0 will suck the go-juice more if you hammer on it though
