 I *hate* this truck.My '97 Taco got better mileage.I have an up/down hilly commute of 7 1/2 miles per day, each way.I hypermile by coasting down hills, and still, the best I can eke out is 24 mpg.They took the same spec. 4 cyl. engine from the '97 Taco and put it into the huge, bulky body of the 2007 access cab.This thing labors up the slightest of inclines.I don't need a "full size pickup" to compensate for something else.The smaller truck was fine for going to Home Depot or the transfer station.My manhood was not threatened, yet for some reason, it seems that Toyota's masculinity was somehow called into question.I want my old truck back!
