New boat no issues towing w/ 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Averaged 17.5mpg towing; 20mpg normally.

Got a new boat today and the Tacoma pulled it without any issues. Could hardly feel it was there.

I also didn’t have the trailer issue on the dash I’ve seen other people reporting. Unhooked the trailer, drove around for a bit and the pop up asking if a trailer was connected happened. Answered “Yes” the trailer is NOT connected and all of my extra safety features turned back on.

I entered the trailer specifications on the dash and tested the back up assist. Everything worked amazing! Averaged 17.5mpg towing, 20mpg normally.

How heavy?

Towing efficiency is largely about aerodynamics. Usually you won't see a huge MPG hit if the trailer or what you're towing is close to the bed height / shorter than the cab. 17+ is impressive. I'm usually in the 14s but my trailer is over 9ft tall.

Nice boat !

It says 2500 lbs.

Forget about the truck, how did the boat ride?
