    Good size of tires for my stock 2019 Tacoma

    I recently went with some Hankook Dyna Pro AT2. I opted for the skinnier 285/35 profile. I know the internet debate rages on about skinny vs fat, but so far they have done really good in the snow and they were less expensive than the 265/75, MPG has not seen much of a difference from my stock...

    Gas mileage

    I am about the same I lose MPG when going off pavement, but that's to be expected. Why top tier gas? I did not think high octane was needed for Taco engines.

    Cargo Carrier

    Aluminum ranps for your truck are probably 1/3 the cost. But the cargo carrier does look fun.

    New Toyota Tacoma

    I got the same truck back in March. I love it . If you wanted a TRD to go off road, no worries your SR5 will do just fine.

    Gas mileage

    I get around 22mpg with my daily driving. I live in a "rural" New England so my daily driving never puts my speedo past 55. If I hit the interstate and cruise at 70+ my mpg will drop to around 18.

    SR5 Stock tires

    The three day over land adventure went off without a problem running straight stock. I did loose two tires to shale on the way home. A plug kit and spare got me home no problem.

    The 2020 Toyota Tacoma Promises Big Changes and You Will Like Them

    Fair enough. But as a daily driver I find it more than enough and the 22mpg is a nice bonus. I suspect mpg as well as responsiveness will suffer as I start to upgrade stuff.

    The 2020 Toyota Tacoma Promises Big Changes and You Will Like Them

    Yes it is. I wonder what the people who complain about lack of power are comparing it too? I mean compared to my brother's old 350 diesel my Tacoma is definitely gonna come up short. And like I said on the bottom half of the tach its nothing to write home about, but once hit 3k rpm and up it...

    The 2020 Toyota Tacoma Promises Big Changes and You Will Like Them

    I drive a 3rd gen, never felt like it lacked power. It gets up and goes when I put the pedal down. The power band is definitely at the higher end of the tachometer, but the power is there.

    Travel trailers!!!

    Manufacturer towing capacities get kind of interesting when you start digging into it. US limits vary quite a bit from UK limits for the same vehicle. I often exceeded the towing capacity of my RAV4 by as much as 25% of US towing but it was usually with in published limits of UK. Since I...

    Overland builds !

    What's the advantage of a roof tent over a ground tent for overlanding? Price, weight, and size my 6 person dome tent winner in all three categorues. I want a roof tent because it would be cool,. But aside from cool factor is there something I am missing?
