though i am not happy with the gas mileage i wouldnt take things that far and take a step down to a tacoma after i just sold my last tacoma 2 weeks ago ... i love my truck other then the mirrors and the gas mileage
I have gotten to the point that I can't even stand looking at my 07 "Dung-dra" anymore.
I am still getting only 11-12 mpg with mine (5.7 4x4) and I laugh at those of you who make these outlandish claims of 18-20 mpgs with theirs. It hurst my back and shoulders to make more than a half hour drive and it's just a big, over-sized soft turd.
I've talked to my dealer about trading it back for a 2007 Tacoma 4x4 v6 with the towing package (I haul a 6x10 cargo trailer) and the TRD off-road package. It's also a 6 spd manual trans. which will seem like a breath of fresh air after the Tundras sucky auto.
Anyone else willing to admit that they hate theirs?
I understand being a little upset with the fuel consumpion on your truck, but for a truck that size it is expected. I drive a 04 Dodge Ram with the Hemi, it also uses a lot of fuel. A Tacoma is a great truck and if it suits your needs maybe you would have been a little better off with one. But the Tundra actually compared favourably in fuel consumption with other trucks in it's class. I have ordered a 07 Tundra 5.7 DC 4X4 Limited. I would have ordered a Tacoma, but it does not suit my needs. I will be towing 8000# every so often, and I like the roomier cab and extra features. I guess it comes down to "if you want to play, you have to pay" I think (and hope)if you give it a chance you will be much happier. Unfortuatley I am sure you will take quite a hit if your were to trade to a Tacoma at this time.I have gotten to the point that I can't even stand looking at my 07 "Dung-dra" anymore.

About the same here, although it got better when I was breaking it in and driving it easy. 15.7 rural driving, diffinitely stepping on it occasionally.I agree. If this dude is getting that bad of gas mileage it is due to not driving the vehicle properly. I have 1904 miles on my truck and I am averaging 15-16 mpg. I started around 13 and it has gotten better. It seems that I am getting better mpg than my 03
I'll trade ya, mine only has 10,000 mileson it, but it has the 5 speed auto. I get 25mpg canadian which is 21 US gal. offroad package 6500lb towingI have gotten to the point that I can't even stand looking at my 07 "Dung-dra" anymore.
