The only Tundra I can find with an 18-22 mpg is the 2WD V6, not the V8. You're going to need to provide something to back up those numbers. The Green Vehicle Guide lists the Tundra at 15-18 mpg. Even without 4WD, it's only rated 16-19. Those numbers are echoed by every page I've found, including the EPA's site.

Replying to: toykick (Jan 25, 2006 4:13 pm) Same rules apply to you, toy. We aren't talking about aftermarket parts. We didn't say the RL payload outdid the "upgraded strut" Tacoma. Just as you didn't say "Crew Cab" Ranger. When a Crew-Cab Ranger comes out, then talk about it.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 25, 2006 6:48 pm) Tacomas dont have Struts, They have Leaf springs. When i see struts on a Big rig then i will be convinced, Or unibody frames lol...

You have made alot of false points about a tacoma vs ridgeline.You have been proven wrong over and over again.Your tacoma has a little more tow capacity and is better suited for hardcore off road.Beyond that, you cant really pick apart the ridgeline.So lets move on,your argumentative nature is lame really.

Gross combined vehicle weight rating: Double cab v6 Tacoma 4x4 : 11,100 Ridgeline :10,085 So The Tacoma can handle more weight per Axle then the Ridgeline... More weight per axle? The GCVR is the max capacity assuming a loaded trailer. It has nothing to do with weight per axle. The advantage for the Tacoma is it's higher tow rating. But that has nothing to do with its axle ratings. The number you're looking for is the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). You can't get away with just making stuff up. We're going to check it. Here are the rear GAWR figures for a few of the trucks from the discussion, so far. I was not able to find information for the mid-size Toyota and Nissan. (They only publish that information for their full-size trucks.) If someone with an owner's manual could provide that, it would be appreciated. Colorado = 2,896 lbs Sport Trac = 3,200 lbs Ridgeline = 3,252 lbs Dakota = 3,600 lbs

Replying to: toykick (Jan 26, 2006 12:03 am) Comparing any of these trucks to a big rig. Real cute, toy.

I checked my Frontier LE KC and it has 3296 GAWR FR and 3265 GAWR RR. It was not shown in the owners manual which referred you to the sticker on the left rear door. OkieScot Replies to this message: varmint (Jan 27, 2006 10:12 am)
