    Hello everyone
    A quick history 2 nissans ,a chevy, and 2 Fords later I landed at a Toyota dealership . Looking to get away from my 2016 xlt 2.7L which are having all kinds of issues . Looked at a Tacoma and it just didn't do it for me. Then I got a break on a Tundra trd off-road . Hoping for at least 17-18mpg on the highway. If not oh well it's a truck. More importantly looking for the reliability. In my mind that makes up for a few mpg.

    Welcome. Won't give you 17-18 but let's compromise on 15-16mpg.
    Drive like me and then it's 12-13mpg highway.

    17-18 can be met. You have to go downhill everywhere you go.

    Good thing is that you have the reliability to go downhill for many years :thumbsup:

    Once you join this forum your bank account will be going downhill. So what's the point of shooting for 17-18mpg..

    Great choice... I've had a couple of Toyotas that have lasted for 15 plus years and many hundreds of thousands of miles. I think you made the right choice as it relates to reliability. Gas milage... you're right, its a truck! And from what I've read the Eco Boosts aren't turning in the posted MPG anyway. I'll take the comfort of quality over a couple of miles of MPG anyway!

    Congrats on your new rig.
