RangerTrace Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 After two years of driving a little BMW SUV to help my wife out of a deal, I'm finally back in a pick-up. I've wanted one of these for over a year.....I went with Toyota this time because other than poor gas mileage, I've not heard a single bad thing about them. It may not be the "nicest" truck I've ever owned, but it's definitely the coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Toyota makes a good looking truck. Nissan on the other hand has taken a wrong turn with their newest model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Looks nice! I miss driving a truck, just doesn't make sense with my long commute though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWFAN Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Very nice!I've had this 2007 since January. Love it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I looked at the TRD Pro very closely. The local dealer even offered me to order exactly as I wanted. Very cool, I just wish they would have done the interior with a luxury option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFoley001 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Getting 15.5 mpg in my 5.7L '11 currently. You cant have rip-down-the-barn power without a little sacrifice. Ive yet to see a 4x4 the 5.7 wont smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys that are into trucks around here are making over 500 horse and getting 25+ mpg. And that's ranging from 30 year old to brand new trucks. But then again, they are all powered by the right kind of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Very true. I had a 2000 tundra when they first came out. Bad mileage in town. But a really nice truck. If Dodge could make their old inline 6 Cummings diesel quiet with a little more factory horsepower, and the rest of the truck be as reliable as a Tacoma, it'd be the last truck you'd have to buy.

The pre common rail Cummins is probably the finest pick up truck motor in existence. The Dodge Rams that housed them are easily the best and biggest paperweights ever made. Until they rust apart, then the paper all blows away. Edited October 8, 2016 by TonytheTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap38 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 They'll pass everything but a gas station.......... Have a 2011, mostly a base model but can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I don't know -- mine passes at least four gas stations every day on its way to work. Usually I fill up once a week, and that's with a 20 mile one way commute.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Mine has a 38 gallon tank, so I'm going to try to never let it get below 1/2 a tank.........And I did average 17.8 on the highway last weekend...driving the speed limit on cruise.

GrumpyOne Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I may fill mine up twice a month, and it only has the 26 gallon tank....then again, it's a 2010 bought in 2009, that has 62k miles on it...I have a company van I drive for work...

I'm guessing the 500 horse trucks you are speaking of are chipped diesels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
