ah, some aerodynamics discussion. So, your opinion is mostly lift related. I have never seen wind tunnel test type info on trucks. It surprises me that just a few inches can increase enough turbulence to decrease mpg that much. But, I can imagine that turbulence under a vehicle is hard to...

let me restate some things.... Is a V6 really going to require more fuel due to a 2.5 inch lift and slightly more rotational weight, OR, as I am guessing, does a four inch increase in wheel circumference just **** up my computer that much? If this is the case why are there not more options for...

And I estimated on the "almost 400 per tank" cause I dont let gas run out, it makes it difficult to operate that way.

OK Thanks for the math lesson all, and sorry to estimate. Thats what I am questioning as well. Is the decrease just due to a change from 265/65s to 265/70s, what the additional (im gonna estimate again) inch in diameter. Is my computer just off now, cause that makes the most sense as to why...

4.0, 2013. Automatic.

So no one really has any input on this other then I should just shut up????? Raising a vehicle cannot change aerodynamics that much, and adding height to a tire is not increasing tread contact, just a slight, very slight, weight change (granted it is rotational weight.) So, a truck two inches...

for me it was more function then anything. It always seemed a bit lower then others straight off the floor. I wish I would have measured before and after, its really almost unnoticeable, with the lift, when side-by-side with other Tacomas.

I just recently installed new springs, advertised 2.5 inch lift, and went with 265/70 tires vs 65s. I went from getting nearly 400 miles per tank down to a little over 300 miles per tank, a significant decrease. What gives? Could it have really changed that much. I took it to a dealer after...

So, your saying it's strictly a change in sound?

I have a 2013 tacoma. What do you all recommend for upgraded exhaust? I want a performance change not just a sound change. Any luck with kit installation etc???? Trd, manga flow, flow master???? Any input is much appreciated. I would like to install myself but my shop is limited. Thanks!!

It'll be interesting to see. And apparently Chevi is in on the Raptor competition. It's a funny market. But suspension technology is nutty these days, why not catch air on your drive....... I guess. Racing baja is a sport the whole family can now enjoy.

Thanks y'all. I do have family in the Dallas area, I can't think of the 4x4 park just north of Denton but, good times good times. My mechanical knowledge with motors is minimal, I'm hoping to learn more.

I just joined and wanted to say 'Hello!' I have loved my Toyotas, some awesome adventures. Just uprooted from Oregon after 10 years and looking for work and a place to settle down. In the mean time my truck is my savior.
