Who's got the 6 speed manual trans.

So I have been considering a new truck for the past month. My options are an 07-08 Chevy Silverado, or an 07-08 Toyota Tacoma. What I would like to know is what type of gas mileage the V6 6speed manual drivers are getting out of there trucks. And what body style your truck is too.

Thanks, Dan

 

I have the 6 speed. My truck is a 2007 trd AC Off Road. With the winter gas Im getting a little less like 360 to a tank but in the summer Im closer to 400 if not over it.

 

Getting about 17 mpg doing about 50-50 city-highway

 

I get about 16 mpg with an access cab

 

I average about 18 to 20 MPG between fill ups.

 

Just bought a 2010 TRD OR 6 speed. My first two tanks were 17.43 and 18.2 respectively. Mostly city miles, with a few highway runs of 40 miles each.

 

I average about 18. Mostly highway.

 

as low as 14 mid winter in town. 18-19 highway. 2008 TRD DC

 

I have 6 speed i was getting around 17-18mpg. But since i have bigger tires and 6 inch lift now it is around 15-16.

 

Hmm? so you take first gear up to 15 mph then shift it into third?

Got a 4x4 v6 dc and i get about 17. Never got over 19 and have gotten as low as 14.

 

Same here....2006 DC.
If you really need a truck...get the Chevy.

 

lol no need to get butt hurt. youre not that special lol everyone does it. I dont see how taking first gear to close to 3000 rpm saves gas...

 

Wow that was a good response. Any body see any difference in power loss or gas mileage with a double cab long bed?

I have an 06 Dcab SB 4x4 with leveling kit. I get 16-17 average in winter, town or highway. Hope to get 18-20 this summer?!
