It's making a few more noises these days, doesn't go up hills quite as zippily as it once did, and had a few dents, but I'm not getting rid of it anytime soon. I can still get > 20MPG on the highway and the AC blows cold, too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Hope they bury me in it some day . . .

I just rolled 100k on mine and if I cruise at 65mph I get 21-22mpg or better.
Jmoser I'll second the the T100 coffin. I don't ever plan on selling it unless Toyota produces a similar sized diesel truck(4dr cab would be nice).

What do you have to get such good mpg? Cause in town best I can get is 15mpg.

I see flannel has the 5 sp stick - I have auto and factory 31" rubber, even at 55-60 I am hard pressed to get 20 with a tailwind. Good thing is empty or fully loaded I get about the same, several hundred lbs of cargo does not seem to make a real difference. I also have xtra weight from camper shell and massive TJM bull bars.

Toyota needs to get on the stick with a mid-sized diesel powered solution or these guys are gonna eat their lunch... Mahindra I read somewhere that the diesel version will ship in 2009 (? pickuptruck.com) and a Hybrid-diesel offering in 2010. Better than 30mpg with 2600lb payload for the hybrid. Although the importer is also the company that tried to bring us the crosslander <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> ! Crosslander I want a 2.2 - 2.5 turbo-diesel with Honda's Urea creating catalyst getting 25mpg city and 30mpg hwy. Now is that too much to ask. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> Brew

Cause in town best I can get is 15mpg. That sounds reasonable. In town you are stopping and idling sometimes. You will probably be in the 20s if you burn a whole tank of gas without stopping.

I've got over 250k now. Averages 16-17 mpg on 35's (I don't drive slow).
Seriously considering selling it and buying a new Tacoma though. My dad's crew cab is nice. Lots of power and interior storage, good gas mileage, but its more a bit more like a car than a truck...
