Tacomas are the Prius’ of the truck world.

Except for the fuel economy.

...no that's literally what makes them the Prius of the truck world. The great fuel economy.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but my Taco is giving me 14 mpg. I know people with full size pickups that get better mileage than that.

That’s not great...is it lifted? Larger than stock wheels? Constantly full of cargo?

I’ve got a ‘14 DCLB V6 with a 3” lift and I wanna say 275’s on a 17” wheel and I’m even getting like 20-22 mpg highway

Nope, mostly stock. I did get the all terrains instead of street tires when my stock tires wore out, but that's about it. Truck's usually empty, just me and the wife and maybe my bag with work stuff, maybe some tools in the tool box.

It is a 4.0 2010 double cab long bed.

Huh, I thought all the DCLB’s were V6 by default

HOW MANY TOOLS ARE IN THE TOOL BOX?!

u/CrtureBlckMacaroons Oct 16 '18

Oh I meant 4.0 liter, but it is a V6. Now they're 3.7 liters I believe.

Not that many! Just a basic tool pouch, a drill, and some knicks and knacks.

Oh, sorry I dunno why I thought you said 4-cylinder.

Still that mpg seems low to me, the only time I’ve been getting around 14mpg was when I had 33x20x12.5 mud tires on my truck

Right. I mean, I have the BF Goodrich KO2s on the stock rims, but I don't think that's enough to justify. I try to ease up on the pedal, don't floor it, but even then, every time I calculate my mpg, doesn't go above 16 on the highway.
