Well since seeing that first one I have seen a few more. PRO models are not till later in spring though.

I have the last year Tacoma that they had the 4.0 V6 in.( 2015) best v6 engine out there and they decided to not put them out anymore. They still make great vehicles, but a full sized truck needs a full sized engine, not a turbo charged mid size engine.

Great engine , but couldn’t meet emissions

Is that the reason the 4.0 went away? Glad I got one then.

Yup.
The 3.5 that replaced it is a great engine…for a car. It really needs to spin to make power.

The 4.0 had a ton of grunt down low, much better suited to truck use.

Yep, it will meet the needs of those who use their truck to transport and golf clubs, which is overwhelming most.

I've only used my 3.5 Tacoma for towing a few times. As the main things it carries are guns, dogs and or ham equipment. It's adequate at 23-24 mpg.

You have towed a few times with a 3.5 in a 2022 Tundra?

Your 2022 Tundra gets 23-24 mpg?

nm

you meant the 3.5 in the Tacoma....

Sorry. I was referring to the Tacoma above in post #23. The 3.5 engine is much too small for the Tundra.

Yeah the 4.0 would never deliver that mpg…older Toyota engines are bulletproof but thirsty.

The older Tacoma engines seemed to run forever. The improved mpg of the 3.5 is partially due to the watchful eye of my wife during the drives from Memphis to Plano.

So what's that run $80k LOL

That’s the going rate for trucks these days and it’s insane.

But seriously trucks are hyper competitive, as is their pricing. Comparably equipped, the prices will all be within a few hundred dollars of one another, regardless of brand.

My issue isn't the price of a new truck or car. I expect it to be built to provide service well past the last payment. It appears some manufacturers designed their products to begin failing at the end of the average vehicle loan.

in my personal opinion toyota had surpassed that test of time for decades. with ford or dodge i am always worrying about reliability even tho their new advanced features are amazing. with toyota they are slow to roll new changes but they rarely have major issues or recalls.

Reliability is the reason I have Toyota and Subaru in the drive now. The Camaro is only there because my wife doesn't understand it will require replacement in a few years.

By the time my Toyota needs replacement, they only choices will probably be electric.

With ethanol free gas and a light foot( meaning I actually drive the speed limit) I get about 20-21 mpg on the highway in my 2015 4x4 Tacoma. I get about 17-18 mpg Hwy if I drive like I normally do

 

[Tnhawk]

How much improvement does the ethanol free gas get? Having worked with fuel terminals I've seen the damage to does to equipment. When available I've used it for my generator but not often in automobile or truck.
