Legit Leaked MPG Figs

I imagine MPG specs should be sooner rather than later. Should be interesting.

 

It is usually a wash in the end. Though I drive about 18-20,000 miles a year, might worth to me...that and as of now the Colorado has the Tacoma beat by 200 lbs in payload. I am have been wanting a Four Wheel Camper slide in...it will still be overloaded, but should yank around the camper, and my moto trailer carrying 2-3 dirt bikes, with ease.

In all reality, in my case...if I get a FWC, be much better off with a 3/4-1 ton truck.

 

And the Tacoma's not? Titan has a better looking front end than the Tacoma.

 

Most likely $40K by the time you add 4WD to it...at that price, might as well get a 3/4-1 ton truck, and they can actually haul and tow something...hell, I can get a 4WD extra cab F250 XL with a gasser for under $30K.

 

They both have been beaten with the ugly stick pretty hard...

I was looking at a mid 90's F250 sitting a beside a new F150 the other day...my gaaawd the grills have gotten so huge over the years. I don't know who the target market is, guys with inferiority complexes I guess, giant cod pieces is what they are.

Word Up....my brothers...

 

Imo the New Titan is the ugliest truck I've ever seen. I love the way the Tacoma looks I even like the grill. The Titan has the ugliest front end of any truck ever. So to each their own.

 

No, 2016 Tacoma has the ugliest front end...ever.

 

Have to agree with you Titan is Horrible looking it looks like a RAM crossover with F150. Ugliest thing I have seen

 

You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what it looks like. I'm sure it will be a good truck just fugly

 

I think the whole "Why get a mid size when I can get a full size for similar price?" question has been beaten to death. If you have the money to drop $40k on a Colorado you are doing it not because you have limited funds, but because you want a mid sized truck that isn't a huge behemoth. Automakers are trying to entice people who are put off by a huge truck that they cannot fit into their garage. I'd say it's working by looking at sales figures. Dealers are having no problems moving mid size truck units right now.

 

I don't know why people pigeon hole themselves with small garages, I mean...you choose where to live...hell, I had RV parking at our last house, I could get two DCLB Tacomas in there and then some. And really...it is a truck, and can live outside if need be. Of course seems like a lot of you guys live in those uptight sphincter clenching HOA 'hoods...not me though...did that once with the ex-wife...never again.

That said...if you don't need such a huge truck....the diesel Colorado might be the better buy, especially if it is going to get 10-15 mpg's better out of it compared to a half ton. For an example most of my buds with the EcoBoost...can barely average 17 out of them.

I certainly don't need a fullsize for 90% of the stuff I do...only looking at them because of a FWC camper...which might be on the truck 10% of the time.

 

Hooooooly sh......



Did Daewoo design it? I take back anything negative about the Tacoma looks. It could be a lot worse.

 

Dafaq is this

 

The all new Titan.

 

It's like a Ford Explorer crossed with a Honda Avalanche

 

It's a dick wagon.

 

I can't wait for actual real world specs from real people driving a real purchased truck sold to the general public. Glad I've got 3 more years before I'll be in the market. That will be plenty of time to have it tested on a large population of Tacoma "lab rats".

 

Based on what I'm getting from my 2015 v6 4x4 DCLB, that is almost no improvement. That's about 1 mpg better.

 

Those numbers are based on what the EPA estimates. For a 2015 V6 4x4 the EPA estimates 16/21/18. 2016 estimates 19/24/21. Whatever you get now you can expect to get +3 in the city and highway.

 

Wrong info. Your looking at the 4x2. The new V6 Tacoma with 2WD and the automatic transmission will return an EPA-estimated city/highway/combined mpg of 19/24/21. With 4WD and the manual transmission, the engine will return 17/21/19 and with the automatic and 4WD it will return 18/23/20.
