It is bad for the fuel pump to run it dry. Have owned Toyotas since the 80s. They could have at least gave the 4G a larger one, arguing less range is a good thing is rather silly. They do market it as an adventure rig. Used to be a heavy equipment operator myself. We tried not to run our...

Usually about 3 gallons left when the fuel light comes on, don’t want to run it dry as it is hard on the fuel pump, or you have to re-prime it. Your best tank is what my 3G is getting at its’ worst. I am averaging 20-21 for my mixed road work commute. Pure highway can get 22-23 out of it.

Don’t care much for the safety systems, have it all turned off in my 3G. Use the heck out of those clam shell doors, multiple times a day running around doing errands. They finally put in some great storage solutions, yet make it harder to access, doesn’t make sense. Need a 6’ bed at minimum...

Compared to my current 3G AC, the 4G XC looses a few things, no access cab, less range, payload and towing are about the same, still has rear leafs, plus it costs about $10K more. Get a little better lowend torque and that is about the only advantage. Was very excited to buy a 4G, however...

They Tacoma has a long history of people trying to make it do what it wasn’t designed to do. People wanted bigger, so they made it bigger, (some say it is too big now, others not big enough saying it needs more rear legroom in the DC) they wanted more power, so they gave it more power, people...

How many miles are you getting per tank? Prerunners should do better than the 4WD. Guessing you’re on stock tires and unladen? These trucks do “ok” in stock form for running around town. It is when you start putting on bigger tires, loading them down for traveling is when the small tank is...

They do, personally like the Rivian over the Tacoma, however range takes a nose dive when loaded and/or towing. Recharge time is slow. Tank size is all about range for me. The new Scout hybrid sure is intriguing though (500 mile range!) similar looking to the Rivian but better looking...

Yeah not likely Already lived with a truck with a 18 gallon tank, don’t really want to do it again. Why I am on the fence, couple other things I don’t care for on the 4G too. Wanted an AC OR with the coil rear suspension, Toyota doesn’t offer that, could sorta turn a SR5 XtraCab into one, but...

I pull a 6X12 enclosed trailer at times, doubt it will get 22 mpg, more like 15-16. Had a 1G with the 18 gallon tank, that truck consistently got 15-17 mpg, was terrible to travel in, had to stop for fuel often, carried two 5 gallon Jerry cans, had to tap into those many a trip. Gets annoying...

Aren’t those empty spaces baffles to help keep the fuel sloshing around? Guess if they are made from plate it would free up some room. Seems like an extra expense for something that should of been done from the factory. Toyota does have 22 gallon tank in some of the Tundra lower trims, be nice...

Not much room to work with because of how Toyota routed the exhaust. Maybe if you moved the tank to the driver’s side, and redid the exhaust to run fully under the passenger. Might mess with all the sensors though. Between the small tank and loosing the access cab, is keeping from me buying a...

Thanks for taking the time to look. Referring to this cooler, yeah?

Thank you, The SR/SR5 XC is still on the list. Not sure if it is worth it. Toyota’s cost cutting measures doesn’t reflect in price. Gone are the access doors, didn’t get the linked rear suspension, no manual trans option, no rear slider, no dampened tailgate. Finding SR5 DCs for only a couple...

You might be right on that, when I do a build there is a $5000 difference. In reality on the dealer’s lot the price is closer.

Ok thanks. I don’t necessarily need the more powerful engine of the SR5, do wonder if I decide I do down the road, that the only things to add was a couple parts and get a factory tune. Will have to talk to my service manager to see what is all involved. The dealers here haven’t gotten any...

Thanks, so the SR5 XtraCab has coil rear suspension? Other than an engine oil cooler, any other differences with the drive train?

Hello, first time poster, long time Toyota owner (33 years and counting) I know the SR has the detuned engine, plus different cooling and lubrication. What parts are they exactly? Have searched and searched, can’t find the specifics. Thank you
