| Is it just me, or do ALL trucks these days seem to get much worse mileage than they did say 10 years ago? | |
| More HP, more weight, larger size, V6 and V8 instead of 4 Cyl. Yes, a lot of compact trucks get worse mileage. Some of the full size are getting better mileage though. | |

My Taco Xtra-Cab V6 5spd. man. just came in Friday. Won't get take possession until Tuesday as they are installing a sunroof. I did get to drive it. What a difference from the 22RE to the V6! I am glad I bought it. The interest just dropped to 4.75% and since most of the kinks are ironed out of the Taco from 95 - 2003, I hope it is as iron-clad as my 94 was. |

| Congratulations on the new truck. What type of sunroof are you having installed? I have the factory sunroof on my Tacoma. | |

Moparbad, I had Classic Cars install an electric sunroof. The thing cost $650, but it is professionally installed. They use the headliner in creating the sliding cover that hides the sunroof. Very nice job. I got the idea for the electric sunroof from a comment made in this discussion board to that effect. The temp is 68 degrees outside and the sun is blazing today....my brand new truck is sitting in a parking space as I have to work. Boy, am I pouting! B |

that Taurus was a great vehicle because it was a "bestseller". http://money.cnn.com/2003/02/13/pf/autos/bc.autos.ford.toyota.reu- t/index.htm |

I kid you not! Yesterday in the intersection across the street from my house, a Ford Ranger got a front left flat tire, spun out, which caused the rear left wheel to rip off the axle. No one was hurt, except Ford driver's pride. I tried to get a picture but traffic was stopped for 1 1/2 hours all around the accident. What a inconsiderate Ford owner. All I could think about were the endless Ford vs. Toyota discussions posted. I guess that is what they meant by "Built Ford Tough!" Yosmany Orlando, Fl 2002 Tacoma PreRunner V6 TRD S/C

Anyone with a V6, Crew cab Pre-runner care to comment on what real world mileage they are seeing? I drive about 20K miles a year and with gas prices being what they are would like to know what real world mileage is like. |

yeah, for starters i find it quite interesting that you still talk about me. quite flattering my man. it just shows you need a life. second off, i was just wondering what the numbers 16.5 and 12.5 mean to you, because that is how much the tacoma and tundra are down in percentage of sales compared to a year ago this time. Ranger sales otoh, are up 15.9% so far this year. http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/otf0999.html i knew the new Level II FX4 pkg. was the coolest and most capable compact truck being produced by any manufacturer, but to boost sales that much even surprises me. LMAO you know it's getting bad for toyota when they stoop to nissan's level and start offering cash back allowances. yeah, domestics do this all the time and everyone knows it's normal for them. but tonight i saw a commercial from toyota offering cash back on tacoma and 0% on crapundra. i guess people are finally seeing the light regarding the underpowered and underbuilt tacomas. what a riot. regarding the taurus, link wouldn't work for me- but ill say this; the taurus and sable always have and always will outsell camry, not to mention they offer much more powerful mills and tons more options. not to mention the taurus is the safest car in it's class. you looking at a camry now? oh wait, you have pretty close to one already now don't you? rolling................ |
