    Hi, this is my first post. I am the proud owner of a '15 Tacoma Prerunner 4cyl with access cab and 6' bed, I bought the 4cyl for the extra gas mileage, if I towed a trailer or routinely hauled anything heavy I most probably would have popped for the 6cyl. Current mods are a brush bumper with homemade grill guard and rock screens. Have an ARA camper cap but it is eating my gas milage, cost me approx. 3.3 MPG. Looking to build a tonneau cover.

    Hi, bought it in September, on the highway it gets 24 MPG without the cap and 21 with. Made several round trips, Jackson MS to Montgomery AL both with and without the cap, mileage seems pretty constant. No pics in the current configuration, will post some soon as the weather clears enough to take them.
