last fill up had my taco at 13.9mpg... light foot but all city driving and im sure the 285's mess up the actual total miles driven so in reality it is probably around 15 (thats a total guess)... It was close enough to the tundy's that I was looking at them real hard back in August... but I've held off...

Well I've had the Tundra for almost a week and the gas milage seems to be about the same as my Taco (DC V6, 3" lift, with 285's). I love the new truck but yeah I do miss the ease of parking the taco...gladd the Tundra has sonar and a backup cam!

Here's a few pics:

The new and the old






I pulled the General Grabber AT2's and MotoMetals off before I traded the truck in. They are less than 6 months old, damned if I'm gonna let the stealer have that! lol
