Need help deciding on 2010 Tacoma!!

Welcome to the club! Join us wackos who think it's worth serious mods, haha.

 

Congrats on your purchase. Welcome to Tacoma ownership!

 

Gratz on the purchase! I love my 2.7! It has almost 100k on it and still running like a champ! However you really couldn't have picked wrong here! It is a Tacoma either way

 

Good buy. By my logic, the only reason to buy a Taco is for the 4 banger. The V6 is priced so close to the full size trucks and it gets about the same MPGs. If your going to spend $27k on a truck with 4 doors and can town 7k pounds, buy a Silverado.

When I drove the 2.7 back to back with the V6, I hated how the v6 drove. It hung onto revs way too much after shifting.

 

I would have bought another 4 cyl, if they had a 4X4 w/automatic.... Enjoy your new truck!

 

4 bangers rock!!

 

Ok So i've gone through my first 2 tanks of gas. So far I really am impressed by the truck. Very smooth, very comfortable. I love the interior and everything seems pretty functional. Bike fits in the back on an angle perfectly. My first tank was 50% City and I got 19.5mpg. Today I did a long highway trip at 65mph and I got 22mpg, which I was kind of disappointed about. I was hoping for better mileage, but whatever. I'm still happy.

 

Calculated on what size gallon? You also should factor in the odo is optimistic by 4%, and the speedo is optimistic by 6%

 

3.8L, metric gallon. I realize it would be higher with imperial gallon

 

Thats pretty decent mileage, and about what you can expect to get. I found I got 21ish highway, and 23ish in city, yes, better in the city....weird. (09 AC 4 cyl 4X4)
I think you mean US gallon, btw

 

Ahhhh the old 4cyl vs the 6cyl. Both good motors Im glad we have a choice. I know when I redline my 4banger in 3rd gear I can hit 90mph! The Phillpino mechanics in the AOR undo the rev limiters some how and those things are crazy fast. Tried to blow a few of them up with no luck LOL.

 

They do.....
