Trail hunter question

As long as you are happy with the deal then that’s all that matters. Good looking truck! Congrats!

 

Congratulations! Hope you stopped at Prejeans for some food on the way back.

 

TH owner, coming up on 4K miles. Love the truck - on road handling, off road, deep snow - it's all great. I know some have complained about the fit and finish (on all 24 models), but I have zero complaints. Interior and overall comfort is awesome.

 

Based on this thread, the fact that your truck is a 5’ foot bed vs my 6’ foot bed and likely weighs hundreds of pounds less than mine and is getting only 1mpg better mileage than my current truck, I am canceling my Trailhunter order on Monday. Mine is S/C’d putting out over 400hp / 390tq with a really nicely outfitted Four Wheel pop-up camper on it and aside from some ECU tuning gremlins, is doing fine, I’ll save a ton of money by waiting for a proper upgrade in a few years.

The fact I also had to wait (TH order since June) is a good thing, it gave me time to figure out I already have a better truck.

 

Cool. That is the main reason for the thread. To put information out there.

 

Thanks. So do you think you are consistently getting 17-18MPG, what is your driving style? I have not cancelled my order yet but there is just not much out there on this.

 

Fuelly is starting to get some MPG data: https://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/tacoma/2024

Looks like most are getting somewhere in the range of 18-22.

 

I have the Premium package on mine. I absolutely hate the auto ebrake, lane keeping, etc. if i were to buy again I would get a SR5 with a cold weather package and 6’ bed like I originally planned and save 16k or so. Theres only thing I would miss is the E locker which can only be used in 4wd Low now and the infotainment big screen because I’m going blind close up.

 

I will only state highway mpg since other mpg is so variable (off road, crawling, camping, etc.). 1) Stock with 33s: 20-21 Only day and half; 2} Stock with 35s: 19-20; 3) With topper, RTT, awning, front bumper and winch: 16-18. Last few tanks of gas there hasn't been a time where I didn't use it for generator (2400 W).

Observationally, mpg compared to my 3G 'bout the same/slightly better than my 3G. But, so much more capable and easier to get along with. On mountain passes my 3G was really annoying.
