what kind of real work gas mileage do ya get?
How is it on the highway ?
will these cruise at 80 and run up to 90?
its a 2006 if that matters any
My 2006/4cyl/5speed averaged 20-23.8 MPG, never got 24 and I would record every tank. I never got less than 20 with it.
Very good on the highway. I drove from West Texas to PA and back (back with a full load of stuff) with zero issues. I just wish it had cruise control and was an xtra cab, as the seats don't recline much in the straight cab.
I never pushed mine to 90, but it will run comfortably at 70 and I know I did 80 in some places, but not sustained.
I sold it because I my wife's car was totalled by hail and I bought her a new one. Eventually I sold that, my 2006 Taco and got a Jeep J/K.
The only thing that ever went wrong in 50,000 miles was a clutch cylinder under the clutch pedal started leaking and it cost around $250 to fix. Otherwise, I did nothing else but tires, filters and oil.
If I still had a need for a pickup, I would buy a Taco V6 xtracab 4x4 auto.
