20 mpg average, 50/50 city / highway. Seen 26 a couple times on flat two lane highway roadtrips doing 50-55. Sent from my BBD100-2 using Tapatalk

Average between 10-11 mpg (19-24 L/100km) towing 5700lbs boat/trailer. Actually tows it ok.

Just about 20mpg average, city highway mix

That is good mileage! I usually get between 10 and 11 mpg, towing 5700lb boat/trailer. I'm pretty conservative on the highway, usually around 60. ECT on and S4/S5. Truck handles it quite well.

Just came across this comparison from Driving.ca. It's from May but hadn't seen it before. I like their realistic 'truck' point of view! https://driving.ca/ford/ranger/reviews/comparison/pickup-comparison-2019-ford-ranger-vs-gmc-canyon-vs-toyota-tacoma

Yeah if there's locking lug nut on the wheels, there should be a 'key' for it (if the previous owner left it in the truck for you). Most tire shops have a master key that should work if dont have it.

Tow our 5700lbs boat / trailer couple times a year, no problems at all. Had a GMC 1500 Sierra 5.3litre V8 before and the Tacoma tows just as well!

I use a two inch drop hitch flipped up and the trailer rides pretty level 5700lbs with about 570 lbs tongue weight. Stock truck.

+1 on the MX4. Have had mine over a year and very happy with it. Not completely waterproof but water intrusion is pretty minor (especially when used with a oem bed mat)

My 2017 was built in late September in Texas and delivered late October. Dealer said it was one of the last '17s they could get, so you could very well have an '18. Do you have the 2018 model features like TSS (lane assist, radar cruise etc.)?

Yeah I have no problem with the towing ability of the Taco. It won't win any speed races pulling up hill, but I never felt lacking for power either. Use ECT mode and S4 and S5. I have a pretty steep gravel boat launch at the cabin and it pulls the boat up without any tire spin in 4lo, better...

Tow 5700lbs with my 2017, it's been great!. No worse than my old gmc sierra 1500 5.3 litre. I would have no hesitation towing into the 6,000 lbs range as long as the trailer brakes are in great condition.

I'm pretty close to the same, 2017 DCSB Offroad. Right around 20 average city /highway. Towed my 5700lbs boat/trailer got 11 mpg avg

Hey the watch doesn't lie! Kept it on all day, no trips thru the washer!!

And no gentle cycle
