    Got the gas mileage down to 13mpg! Modification complete
    It's the lack of really good forum sites....I can never get enough of "how much lift" " what tire size" " how much weight to add to my bed in winter" and everyone favorite " why doesn't Tacoma come in a v8?" :D

    why doesn't Tacoma come in a v8? Because we couldn't afford all that gas!! My 2007 has never seen anything approaching 20 mpg.

    Did I mention I hate that all the window switches, the mirror-control switch, etc...

    Basically every switch on the left-side of the steering wheel, IS NOT BACK-LIT !

    The tilt steering wheel does not tilt enough and it makes it more difficult getting in and out of the truck.

    inside noise, anything that hits under the truck sounds like it's coming through the floor or some fell off under the truck.

    No outside temp gauge (the cheaper corolla has one)
    4 cyl cant push a 4 door pre-runner up any grades, I got rid of it in under 6 months
    poor mpg for a 4 cyl, my F150 gets 23 mpg on fwy, better than my 4 cyl taco got.
    I still want another taco, just easier to park and drive on short errands.

    You should have just bought a v6 4x4or prerunner and really if you don't like something just fix yourself.

    He looks like a lurking F150 owner who eyeballed this thread and decided to post his story of how he chose the wrong Tacoma for his needs.

    Anyone can tell you that the Double-cab with 4cyl is going to lack some oomph.

    honestly the six speed console has a pretty big void under the shift boot that my right knee would love to occupy
