  Tacoma mileage survey

I have a 2005, double cab, long bed, 4x4, TRD sport pkg, tow pkg, 4.0 ltr, V-6, Automatic trans with every option available except leather. As of june 2006, I had 10,000 miles on it. I get 16 mpg around town and 20 mpg on the hwy. usually driving around 65mph. I live in the blue ridge mtns. of VA so there is alot of hill travel. I sometimes tow a Cub Cadet 7532 with FEL and backhoe on a double axle, 16 foot trailer.(about 6,000 lbs.) When I do this, I get 12 mpg around town and about 17 mpg on the hwy. driving at 55mph. I have found that following the manufac. rec. octane rating of 92 or better gets me the higher end of the mpg spectrum, but not by much. The big bonus of using the high octane is that the computer is calibrated to generate 245 hp only when using super unleaded. Comparing the old style tacomas with their anemic 185hp v-6 to the new tacoma and its 245hp v-6 is not going to give you an accurate mpg estimate. The top tow rating for the new tacoma is 6500lbs if you get all the factory options needed. If you only tow occasionally, and in the 2-3k lbs range, My advice would be to go for the 4 cyl. IF YOU WANT A DOUBLE CAB, GET THE V-6!! The extra weight of the double cab demands the V-6. Hope this helps.
