Would you ever Consider trading in your tacoma for a car to save gas??

Would you ever consider shooting yourself in the knee and then jumping off a bridge?

HELL NO!!! its till death do us part with this Taco

 

I am always hoping that Toyota will come out with a smaller and more efficient version of the Tacoma. Maybe a 2.2L DI turbo gas or turbo diesel engine and 5+ speed auto? Then again, I'm not the tiniest person to put in a compact truck... At least change the engine up.

Things that make me wish I had a car:
1. handling (can be fixed a little and I plan to someday)
2. mileage (not too bad)
3. grocery shopping sucks with the regular cab unless you're only getting a few things or they can go in the bed

 

Lol, the Tacoma was my "better gas milage" vehicle . I had a 2000 V8 Chevy 1500 4x4 and a 2006 F150 Double Cab 4x4 5.4, I remember when it was like 100 bucks every four days back in 08'...

Gas is like milk, the price really doesn't matter, I might bitch and moan while I am filling up, but ultimately you need it..

 

I bought this truck in part to have a truck that did get better mileage. The truck that sparked the insanity of no less than six truck purchases was a Ford F150 that I was averaging 16 mpg in. As I'm solidly in the mid 20's, I am quite happy with the result.

 

Would you consider castrating yourself to keep stupid people of the planet???? jk man

 

Only for a diesel. That's the only thing I'd trade it for.


Or an STi.

 

Ehhh, not anytime soon. It would take gas prices getting back into the 4.00 a gallon mark for me to start considering trading it in.

If I did it would be for one of the new challengers... or maybe even a mustang.

 

Hell No!!!

I would only trade it in to get another Tacoma!!!

 

Depends on oil prices................I know here we have jumped more than 20 cents in a week............it will be back to 4 a gallon before we know it!

 

i bought a corolla to save gas. i use my '06 Tacoma for offroad stuff..

 

I would probably start thinking of getting something with better gas mileage if gas hit $5.00 a gallon and stayed there.

 

No can do!!

 

Never!!!!!

 

No I wouldn't if things got really bad I'D get a 4cyl. I need a truck. I wanted a single cab in the begining but the wife can't drive standard.

 

Nah, because the company pays me a monthly allotment for a vehicle, as well as pays for the gas; that's regardless of the type of vehicle I choose.

Pretty good as long as I work for the company, otherwise it's my on nickle.

 

gas prices were high here in canada, i ended up selling my 3.4L $runner and almost pulled the trigger on a ser spec v, but i went across the street and bought my 4banger and love it no complaints on gas either, much better than the 4runner and once i get my rims back from powdercoat friday it will be sexier than the runner was

 

I traded my Tahoe in for a '08 Accord I4. As soon as I drove it to work the next day and crammed my air compressor in the trunk I knew I made a mistake.

I started looking at trucks after about a year. Once I settled on the Tacoma I never looked back. In fact the gas mileage on the Tacoma is only marginally worse than my Accord.

 

Nope. I have a 07 Corolla and it only gets driven when my wife drives it. 3 years and it only has 25k on it. One month and my Taco already has 2.5k. My 05 Sprt Trac I traded in on my Taco had 60k on it. I hate getting in and out of a car...

 

im trading my 2006 acura TL for my 2010 Taco.... if that gives you an idea
