What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Lower air density = less wind resistance. It’s not the gas. The computer measures actual air intake and feeds the correct amount of fuel, as long as you’re below WOT it can compensate for the lower pressure. Lower wind resistance is a freebee.

 

^ I’m amazed because a lot of the driving is incline grade 1/2 the time. Decent 3rd gear climbs through the switchbacks then on to cruising relatively flat. Beats 16.5mpg in San Diego!

 

Less stop and go driving

 

This, sitting at a traffic light is literally zero mileage and brings the average down. Every time you accelerate or hit the brakes is another hit. I would get better mileage on ski trips up 8000’ to Tahoe and back than driving around town. Power sucked but it sipped has.

 

I get better mileage in Santa Rosa than I do in Reno. Truck feels a lot quicker down there too.

 

Blows my mind how altitude can effect it, these switchbacks up a 13% or more grade from 10mph to 30 then back down all day makes me just question it lol! Well.. not all day. But for sure at least 2k altitude gain then to flat.

Damn California guy

Pardon my potential ignorance, but is the Ready-Lift compatible with first gens?

 

What's it called? Or better yet got a link?

 

Make sure to check the fitment specs

YMMV as always but it’s not uncommon to get better mileage and density is a factor. Throttle response suffers so many opt for forced induction to make up for the lost psi at intake.

 

Try driving to SLC from Reno or up to Twin Falls. Lose all those steep climbs and just rack up the miles while watching the needle just sit there. Without those climbs your average would be even more surprising.

 

Sorry just checked their site and could not find them. Where did you get it from?

 

I've been wanting to get a 3rd gen bed, how much did that bed cost you and how/where did you find it?

Also why a 2nd bed? Trailer?

 

I just bought one from Amazon, just type in

$27 strongarm gl2007 proglide tailgate lift support with assembly kit

strongarm gl2007

 

i thought about doing this the other day. Looks good! Spray paint or pastidip?

 

Do you have a link where you purchased the tail gate assist? They have been sold out on Amazon for a while and the ones there didn't have very good reviews.
