Haha you and me both. I've been on that forum through my last three Tacoma's. It's not bad but there's a lot of BS a lot of attacking going on it's like going back to high school over there. I would say so far my Ford has been a lot more reliable than my new 16 Tacoma sport which had issues from the get-go. I will not list them all here there was enough to make me dump the truck.
Yup, I know exactly where your coming from on the Tacoma. It will be interesting to see what they do next. The new Tundra could be promising.

Same here! I never really looked forward to driving my Tacoma,it was just a means to get from point A-B. Now I look for any excuse to drive my Ranger "You need milk,I'll go get it" lol. I'm away for 2 weeks right now and I'm really missing driving my truck! :frown:

It’s nice having a truck that actually gets up and goes. The Turd Gen Tacoma feels like a lawnmower engine.

IDK I had an Exmark lawnmower that was much smoother and faster than my '16 Tacoma. :LOL:

After putting on the Raptor Grill I decided to find a spot for the stock one in my man cave. What do you guys think?

Looks good up there! When I get my Raptor grille on I’ll be hanging my stock one right beside my old ‘07 Level II grille.

It’s the same width as stock 255 so that helps just two inches taller. I’m only on my second tank of gas but supposedly I only averaged 15.2 on the stock tires. So we will see I would imagine it’s not a huge hit.
Your mpg should be up around 20, even with the tire change.. I’ve got around 10 k on mine and average 19.9 off and on road... when set on cruise at 55, I’m up at 22 mpg..

I sure hope so far on two tanks I’ve been averaging around 16-17. But I have been using the remote start a lot due to the cold weather.

I like those tires, thinking of getting them when my stock tires are out (actually thought this happened on Friday the 13th (no kidding lol) when I had a hole in one of my tires -- but, while Friday the 13th, they were repaired for free, so it was not all bad luck :D )

And yeah, about the MPGs, it really depends if you idle frequently, do city driving, or simply have a heavy foot. I'm somewhere between 4500 and 5000 miles right now, and I've been averaging around 17.5 MPG on my stock tires (I'm not unhappy about that though, I averaged 16.8 with my '16 Explorer over 30,000 miles.... besides, if I cared about fuel efficiency that much, I'd be driving a Prius, not a truck lol)

Andrew, do the mats you ordered cover the area under the gas pedal? I ordered the Ford Ranger ones and they do not so I am thinking of replacing them as here in Colorado...where your foot is is where the snow and dirt go...and who drives without their foot on the gas? I mean other than a Subaru...
