horrible gas milage on the tundra, we used to take a new tundra to myrtle beach and tow a 18 foot enclosed aluminum trailer with 4 bikes in it and got 8 mpg… not sooo good haha ---

the new ones are comperable to the tacomas, and better mpg towing. my tacoma only got 7-8mpg towing an s2000 on a trailer. the new ones shut down half the cylinders for highway cruising and they get 20+ ---

My dad has a new tundra and doesnt get anything near 20mpg towing or not towing (he tows a small bassboat) his is the 4.6 liter. He had a 5.7 liter one last year and it was worse. my FJ cruiser got a consistent 13mpg towing my samurai buggy on a trailer. Same drivetrain as a taco, except mine is a 6spd manual which helps but also AWD which doesnt help. The wheels/tires on your tacoma probably killed your towing mileage. when my FJ had 33s, I got around 10mpg towing ---

If you can get past the fact of it being a dodge they are actually great trucks overall. You just have to keep and good supply of front end parts, hubs and the occational headlight switch.

I saw it on some website like tacomaworld or something. I troll those websites cause a lot of those small Toyota pick up drivers use 1uz-fes in their off road builds and often find ways to supercharge them or manual swap them. So you can pick up some cool parts when one gets destroyed. I think it was tacomaworld. They all had Hilux hard ons ---

I was just in Australia, and now I traveled to Papua New Guinea. There are Hilux everywhere. Everything is a turbo diesel. The Landcruisers are king in Australia and they still sell the newer ones with the older style body. I wish the US could get these trucks they are awesome. I’ll try and grab a few pics, there are jacked up ones with all the accesories and winchs here where I am staying.
