I have a 2006 TRD Sport Dbl Cab 4x4. Most of my highway miles have been pulling a 3 seat watercraft plus all of the necessary gear. I get just over 17. When I am not pulling the trailer, the best I have ever seen is 19. That is going just over 70mph. I wish it was a little better but it isn't important enough to drive below the speed limit.

I thought I would post a follow up since the truck (O5 TRD OR, extended cab, 4WD, 6 speed manual) now has 27k on it. If I drive 60 I can get 20 MPG or very close - unfortunately where I live I rarely cruise at 60. If I drive with freeway traffic here, (70 to 80) or around town (mixed stop and go with short freeway jaunts) I get around 17 MPG.

I've had my 2006 Tacoma V6 with offroad TRD package for about 3 weeks now, have used one full tank and MPG was about 21 miles per gallon. I did about half off road in the mountains of So Cal, so I used 4x4 some of the time. I also did some mountain roads, freeway and city.
I have no complaints about the truck, no tire problems, engine is smooth and powerful. I suspect my MPG is similar to what I have read, however a bit lower due to the off roading. I was also able to get a $1000 rebate which was nice. My Tacoma is a 2006, with V6 Access cab 4X4, TRD offroad, floor mats, towing package, Total $25,266 "Invoice", with delaer costs $26,348, plus tax, doc, DMV and tire fee I paid $27,515 out the door. I had shopped about 10 dealers till I found one that had the trucks in stock and did not play games with prices. Email me if you want the dealer name and sales person info.

Gas Mileage - 1999 Tacoma 4x2, 4cyl, 5spd by softballdad

I've had the truck since 2002, it currently has 83k on the odo. Have never gotten less than 20 mpg and average 28. Best mileage on a round trip was 35 mpg. I drive it easy and have always wondered why there wasn't more demand for the 4x2/4cyl/manual transmission versions. The difference in gas consumption is dramatic. I had given up hoping to find a used one when I stumbled onto this truck.

Anyone with a 4 cycle 4x4 5 spd MT? by gpk

I am wondering if anyone has experience with a 4x4 with the 4 cycle with a MT set up? I would like to know what gas mileage has been? I plan on keeping my civic for normal driving back to work but I am looking into a 4x4 without a V-6.

Access, Prerunner, 4 c, 5 spd -MPG - S. California by aaapuppy

I've run through my second tank of gas now (well, third, but I didn't count the first dealer fill up). The following mpg are incredibly disappointing: 19.64 and 19.98. Somebody told me that the stringent CA emissions actually lower mpg, but I have nothing to support that. My sister's '06 V6 auto double cab is getting 21.8 (highway mpg). She's in Georgia. I just don't understand.
 
This is the third Toyota pick-up I've owned. The 1997 Tacoma w/200k miles that I trade for this '07 got 3 more mpg...with a filthy air filter and running on its last wheel! Something must be wrong, yes?
 
Anybody else in California finding this to be true or is my truck broken?

2007 base Tacoma 2wd 4 cyl auto air by matt51

no cruise control. EPA rated at 21/27. On mostly highway driving, getting 22 mpg with running 75-80 mph. Running 70 mph, getting 23.5-24 mpg. Using Castrol synthetic oil, will switch to Mobil 1 next oil change.
Somewhat dissapointed as I usually achieve near EPA mileage with most cars I own.

Just slow down and you will get much better.
