Sounds like yer a cool kid.
Take a look.
Is it pink ?

Farker!

A 150 with a smaller diesel is an AWESOME idea ... the fuel economy alone will be unmatchable.

Not all PS motors were trouble. My 05 has been flawless

Agree, think it will be a big seller

As I said some people have not had problems. The 6.0 was known for premature turbo falure and injector issues.
I think they are still nice truck tho. Not my cup of tea.

I would rather have the new one ... but the price isnt my cup of tea. lol

Taco cousin...

Haha seriously. I dont know too much about the new 6.7 PS. I like the new look of the body tho

It is in simple terms ...


FK'N AWESOME

I drove one on Eatons test track and with 15,000lbs you wouldnt know it was even towing anything. It is stupid powerful and when empty I did some laps to record mpg and was right at 22.5

My 05 gets 18 empty, 15.4 towing.

The new duramax and the cummins are also good but no way can any gas motor even be compared in any form to the newer diesels.

Toyota makes a good truck ... always have and always will. They have their niche and if used within, you cant go wrong.

Just my .02

I had an '05 Tacoma, Quad Cab, long bed, 4wd, tow package. the best truck I've ever owned... not the nicest... but the best.

I towed a 21' travel trailer that maxed out the towing capacity (3500lb)and it towed pretty damn good! Hell - it even stopped good the few times I forgot to hook up the brakes on the trailer. Fuel economy took a big dip when towing (about 9-10 mpg) and I usually kept it out of overdrive and below 60-65. It was nice to get 20+ without towing though.

I lost it in the divorce. I had the truck up to 120k and towed with it the last weekend I drove it - believe it or not it was still on the original brakes. Without a trailer, off the line or in passing gear that thing will suprise the sh!t out of you.

Went shopping for trucks after the divorce and guess what - couldn't afford a used F'n Toyota... ended up with a used half ton GMC. Dont get me wrong - It is a super nice truck - way more comfortable than the Toyota - the climate control, heated leather seats and electric everything kick a$$ till you have to fix it. But if I had my choice now I would still be driving a Toyota...

Craig, I used to tow an 18' Alumaweld Seadory with a '92 Dodge Dakota with 265 HP. No problem towing, no problem braking. Not sure what HP the Tacoma has but hope this helps.

Tundra over Tacoma. I love mine.... Comfort.... Quality... Low maint... Pulls my 20' nr effortlessly .... I definately like it better than the powerstroke I had

unless you have a 3/4 ton truck with the brakes a half ton wont do that well stoping. If your hauling gravel or a full bed you wont be able to do it safely with a v6 tacoma that has a full size bed a 1/2 ton with air bags and trailer brakes are a min. If the boat launch is 10 min from home that 4.0 v6 tacoma is fine but not driving it hour and half to sekui. The new 5.7 tundra is built for towing and is a sweet truck but id still rather have a cummins.

i have a '10 dbl cab tacoma with the long bed, a canopy and the tow package. i have no difficulties towing my 18' starcraft aluminum (90 merc 2-stroke main, 9.9 4stroke kicker) and all the gear. i have the auto trans (don't think you can get the 6-spd manual in the dbl cab?), and it hunts for the right gear a bit while towing. the tow package included a tranny cooler and the oil filter is mounted remotely to help with heat dissipation. a few weeks ago, i towed my friend's drift boat, 4 guys, enough beer for an army, tents, firewood, coolers, food, all the fixin's for a winter weekend camping/fishing from seattle to forks with no problems at all. i had more than enough power to pull out into traffic after we stopped for more beer, and passed several rigs on some of the uphills. i'm not sure of the mileage, but that's one of my issues with this truck. i only get around 18-19 around town. i talked to a guy at a gas station one time who had the 5.7 tundra, and he said he got the same mileage with the V8. i've logged about a million miles in toyotas, never had one leave me stranded, never blew one up.

They have a electronic mpg on the dash. 18-19 is a strech for those 5.7 the new ones clame 16-20 mpg but the 07 to 09 are claiming only 14 to 17. My buddy just bought an 08 tundra and he was only geting 16 before he lifted it now its more like 14. Not saying you cant tow with your tacoma dc but its not going to tow that great at 234 hp and 266 ft lb of torque. Just saying. Nothing against your truck there great but its less than the first gen tundras towing capacity and those needed a towing brake to tow any fifth wheel. My 2.7 tacoma will tow a drift boat no prob

Hunting supposedly is bad for tranny.
Switch off OD.



Mine too.
I can go hog wild.

I was pleasantly surprised by the power that the 2.7 makes.
Mine holds 5th gear on cruise in moderate grades.

My tundra is the 5.7 6speed auto 4x4 crewmax in the rock warrior off rd pkg.... Gets 13-14 in town best I've ever gotten on freeway is 17. Definately not the best mpg out there.. Think if someone were planning on towing it'd be wise to go with tundra over Tacoma... Just my opionion

It all depends on how much weight you plan on towing.

yea that ...

There is no supposedly about it. Hunting back and forth creates heat. Heat is the number one killer of automatic transmissions.
