So far, we love it.
Just returned from Florida, and we got about the same overall mileage as our earlier Tacoma 4L V6 4x4 (~12 mpgUS). You folks with the fold-down Trailmanors would do much better. I would guess around ~16 mpgUS ?
And it has so much more low-end torque than the Tacoma. Stays in 6th gear most of the time (3.73 rear end) and is exceptionally quiet. But if you draw on the power reserves, go and accelerate faster, the mileage does get worse.
If it's primarily mileage you're concerned about, there should be other vehicles out there that can do better. But unless they're diesel, they would lack the low-end torque, payload and tow capacities of this one.
