The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

See that's what's got me trumped I would expect you guys to get way better mileage than 16-20. And this makes me debate getting a single cab v6 tundra because the epa mileage on it is supposedly 17 city and 20 highway. (same 4.0 v6 as the Tacoma)

 

If I was down at a lower elevation, with less hills and wind then I would be up around 19-20. I still get tanks upwards of 19 and 20 but they are pretty rare with my location. To help, my buddies stock v6 gets 14-16.

 

Stock I could get 21 to 23 mpg and now with bumpers and a camper shell I average about 16-20

 

ahh damn why do Tacoma's have to get such crappy gas mileage. I just don't want to spend too much money on gas with a 1 hour commute to and from work. Any recommendations on reliable and fuel efficient vehicles?

 

Prius

 

I've ridden in one before. They're design and handling characteristics make them feel like a small metal death trap lol

 

Golf tdi it's a diesel and gets great mpgs

 

yessir.. 4.56 - no locker. just want a little more power to enhance the drivability. Hoping itll make a big difference so I won't feel like I wasted a bunch of dough

 

I bet you'll feel it! You are on 33's, right? I still smile most days when I drive my truck around town. 4.88s and 35's feel awesome. Ill put on the LCE header some day.

That's nuts. Even when I spend a whole tank in 4lo I come out around 15mpg. I guess you guys are probably constantly at high revs though.

 

So I've been kicking around the idea of a turbo and found this kit from ozboost for $1900 has any one heard of this company and if anyone has one. This is a link to the site http://www.ozboost.com.au/product/entry-level-2tr-fe-turbo-kit/

 

I have never seen that before. A turbo would be sweet though!

 

I'm just wondering how the truck will run with out changing the injectors and reprograming the Ecu

 

I also forgot to mention, I had one of those "she's definetly the one" moments with my wife. When I was essentially obtaining approval for my gears + header purchase, and told her that I needed a little more power to "enhance safety on the highway while merging and passing" she said, "gears? Can't you just put a v6 in it?"

Maybe in the future..

 

Got one half door 85% finished. Gotta finish welding a couple spots then grind paint and install.

Sucks its the passenger side I did first cause I can't put it on for a cruise till I do driver side door cause if not I'll look stupid

 

That hasn't stopped you yet

 

There's a long bed softtopper for sale for $450 down here... Gahhh its tempting to buy

 

I am hoping to have a best top and or camper shell before the next winter.

 

^That includes the frame?

 

Ahh gotcha. I wont be getting a softtopper due to the blind spots.

 

Man that ain't bad. My only question would be is it reliable
