I upgraded from a ford ranger. Totally worth it, I love my truck. I get at least 550km to a tank, used to get over 700 with stock tires.

 

That is dreamy.

 

Say goodbye to MPGs

 

I agree, the truck did pretty well for fuel economy. I use the computers. Not sure how accurate they are but take it for what it is. I do almost all highway driving and could pull 11-11.5L/100km in the tacoma stock easy. Between 11-120kmh.

Once i did 265/75r16. 31.7” it was around 12.5. But the computer wasn’t calculated for it. So slightly better mileage than what the computer showed.

The zr2 hurts me. I could do about 12.5l per 100km stock.

With 33s it’s about 14L/100km or more.

 

Not even worried, I would have bought a car if I was

 

this is what I think every time I hear people taking about mpg's

 

Haha, I used to think the same, but when my gas bill started costing me >$200/week and my co-worker with F250 pays similar amount, it got me thinking about MPGs a little bit...

given we drive same amount of kms/week

 

yeah I don't use my truck daily so it doesn't bother me hahaha the truck has moved twice in 3 weeks lol

 

Yea you guys use your trucks for commuting way more than I do, I am only 3.2 km each way to work. In the summer I commute on my motorcycle almost everyday. I am so close to home I come home for lunch and let the dogs out every day.

All these upgrades are going to go to good use this summer for me

 

Now we get this! Love the way it looks.
Tacoma needs to up it's game a little.

Bye bye ZR2. Thing looks great, that engine would be real nice if it makes it to north america

 

Now make it 5K cheaper than TRD Pro and they win the market. Knowing Ford, you will be able to get it for 50% off at the end of the year.

 

Best-looking mid-size truck of this generation in my opinion. And it comes with paddle shifters from the factory!

I just hope Ford brings it to Canada (Not always a given - Toyota didn't bring the 2015 TRD Pro north of the wall.)

 

Anybody own these? Looking at getting myself a set, cheaper than a winch this year.

 

Those are what I have. Pretty happy with them. Only complaint I have is the way they stack. They don’t stack for shit. That’s a pretty good price considering.

 

There gonna ride on the side or top of bed rack so no worries.

Appreciate the info. Thats what I thought on the price compared to others

 

If you plan to put them on the rack you may need to have them on there own. I was going to have them on my roof rack but they wouldn’t stack well. I didn’t make a mount but they do stack higher. Totally worth the price though. Thinking of picking up another set.

 

Thanks @Ttaco15 jist got me another pair....fack lol

 

Your welcome! Mine should be here Friday!

 

from what I've seen they actually hold up pretty well.
Might not flex nice or have big lugs like TREDs but hey for that price can't go wrong.

I was going to get them but when I found out they don't stack well figured I'd pass.
I remember looking at peters, stacked his two were pretty much as high as my four treds.

And the warranty on treds is great.
That said...you could buy five sets of those for what I paid for my two sets of treds lol.
