With those big ass a/t tires and no mud flaps, this truck is begging for lots of paint chips
The more I see these gen4's the uglier they look.

These 4 banger turbo's sure are thirsty if towing. We had an old 350 chevy Tahoe that averaged 15 mpg towing the same size load as these guys did. Even my gen3 with the v6 is better. Idk what toyota was thinking with these gen4s installing a small fuel tank, especially if towing.

 

[JayQQ97]

smaller fuel tank = much less weight when tank full of tacoJuice

 

[tacojoel]

It's only a few gallons less. These gen4 turbo's suck gas a lot more than a normally aspirated v6 if towing.
They get a little more than 1 mpg better than the v6 without hauling a trailer....thats no biggie.

Yep, 2-gallons less to be exact.

You'd probably never make the Canada border from here on one gas stop with a gen4 pulling a 2k lbs plus trailer, as you would with the v6 gen3.

Starting to read some cel issues already with the gen4. I hope they get off to a better start that the first year turbo tundras.

There's plenty of leg room for my back seat passengers.

Gen4 is better than the gen3 imo, but I wouldn't call it a game changer.
All I can say is a buddy of mine that owns his independent auto repair business says he makes a living on those ford eco boost vehicles. We can only hope these turbo toyota's are as reliable as on the honda's.

does your buddy of yours do hack slop jobs, or is this buddy very meticulous in all things
i am so sick and disgusted of sloppy hack shiittt done all the time anymore
should i bring my rig into your buddy for taco maintenance?

 

[tacojoel]

Let's put it this way, I wouldn't take a toyota to him, or call him a hack. He's in his later 70's, but very good with older domestic made vehicles like chevy, and ford. It's hard these days to find a guy that knows how to rebuild carburetors as well as he can.
We have a couple very good toyota dealers here if needing any service. Just bring a valid credit card.

 

[JayQQ97]

most technician partschangers these days might have no clue what a carburetor even is lmao

[TexasBigBlue]

Yeah I found out the hard way.

Our parts manager came from a Ford dealer and he said the same thing. Eco-boost powered units keep the lights on at Ford dealers.
