Just a couple 05+ Taco questions...

Hi All,

two questions...

One, what do you guys See for mileage in the 05+ Tacomas, 4x4?

two, has anyone put a aftermarket stereo in one? the stock unit looks integrated, do they have a kit for a din style deck?

Thanks.

Now...about that mileage lol, what do you guys see, real world.

Also, I LOVE this color on the taco, best color imo, is this a good deal?

Well I've got a D/C with the 4.0. I'm running slighty larger and heavier tires, an ARB bumper with a winch and all that works against my mileage but, I'm seeing 15-16 in town and about 20-21 hwy. On my last trip I got 24 hwy!!! That is not to be expected though.

I've got an '07 DC Sport auto with M/T's and I'm seeing about 19 city and about 23 hwy...this is not average though, I'm a slow cautious driver.

Stock 05 DC 4x4 w/ 4.0L and auto tranny. I hover around 19.5 city and 22.5 highway now that I can keep control of my right foot. The lowest I got was 16 when I first got it. I was on it all the time.
