New Tow Vehicle

[Johnny B]

It's an 04 but new to me and it pulls much better than the old Taco...

Nice. It'll look better yet with the boat hooked up.

Sweeet!!
I hear they are coming out with a diesel, I will see if I can save up for that one

I've seen those online, they look TUFF!  All I have seen is a dually though.  I would like to have a diesel in mine, it could use a little more power and the mileage sucks.. I get 12 to 14.  but it rides nice!

12 to 14, is that towing?  that's good if it's towing.

I messed up and hit new topic so mines in its own thread now...whoops.  But check it out, its been my dream ride for the past 4 years.  Power, versatility, and doesnt look too bad either

no, that's not towing.  towing it's more like 10 - 12.  I have a 2 1/2" kit on it with 285's so that has something to do with it but I still expected a little better from Toyota.   Overall I love the truck, it rides better than any truck I've driven and it handles good. It could use about 50 more horsepower and a little better mileage. I may try a cold air intake and new exhaust, that should help..

TRD supercharger will bring it alive.  It may get a little better fuel economy also.

very cool truck, I like that body style much better than the current tundra.  10-12 towing isn't bad at all, my silverado SS only gets 9.5 towing  :'(but a solid 14.5 empty

My 06 Tundra sucks the gas when towing.  I am lucky to get 10mpg.  When not towing I get 16-17.  I would love to put the TRD supercharger on it, but too much $$ for me.  I like my 06 over the new tundra also.

I am about to head to the automotive shop and see if they have a cold air intake system in stock.  Hopefully I can put it on tonight and see how much it helps.  I put one on my old Tacoma and it made a nice difference on torque and over-all power. It can't hurt anyway..
