    BEFORE :My first ever truck brand new 2016 Tacoma Access cab.Thinking of getting either a 2 inch leveling kit or a 3 inch kit.I was told that the 2 inch leveling kit only lifts the front of the vehicle and not the back I don't know how that will look.Also going with 17 inch 20160429_114225.jpg open road country a/t 2 and Fuel Hostage 17 Wheels.Can someone post a pic of there Tacoma with a 3 inch lift or a 2 inch leveling kit so I can get an idea what my truck would look like.My gas mileage is anywhere between 14 to 17 miles per gallon of coarse it only has 83 miles on the odometer I hope this gets better

    Thanks I've been a member of this site for awhile I just didn't have a Tacoma.I was undecided between the Tacoma and the Chevy Colorado.I heard the Colorado's gas mileage is better but I liked the.styling of the 16 Tacoma minds has the full Technology Package.Got it from Holman Toyota in NJ.I also have a 2014 Prius

    Whatever you do please don't put Hockey Puck spacers on your brand new beautiful truck. Bilstein 5100's to start at a minimum.

    Welcome to TW. Hopefully you understand the mods you described probably will not help your mpg. I only say that because you seem concerned about mpg.

    Same as mine! Congrats, you're gonna love it! Get used to people coming up to you going "Man, that's a nice truck!". At least once a week, someone approaches me about mine.
