2.4L Turbo 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road (Air Dam Removed!) MPG Fuel Economy Test by Truck King

[JBSwine]

Shouldnt he be testing a mid level trim for mpg since most taco owners dont care about mpg, especially the TRD pro?

Wasn't he testing a TRD OR? That is midlevel.

I just bought a Toyota Tacoma and installed a K&N cold air intake (recommended as the best cold air intake) and when I started the car, I heard many strange noises. Can anyone with experience give me advice?

Put back the old one and return or sell the cold air intake.

You didn’t pre soak the intake tube. Pull the filter off and spray the water hose down the intake while Someone starts the motor.

The TRD OR is a midlevel?

Not sure what ya mean "mid level"..lol. The OR trim has always been toyota's most popular trim from day one in any gen. TRD PRO is mainly for people that actually do serios off-roading or mall crawler guys who want to show people they drive a off road truck ;). Even when I bought my 2nd gen Taco years ago, the off road trim was hard to find at dealers.

And I'm in California and living with $5/gallon in winter and $7/g in summer so yeah...gas milege is important to me. One of the things I love on my Ranger is I get 21mpg consistently with cheap Costco gas. And so far, it seems the new gen Taco OR will pretty much do the same so I'm happy with that. A friend of mine has the newer Chevy 'Rado and he gets shit gas milege (16-18mpg).

Just because it's popular doesn't mean mid level, it's just in range of most people's budget....unless thats today's mid level definition, don't know.

There's SR, SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD OR, and the Limited. TRD OR is two (or 3) from the top level, that is near the top level trims.

Yes, the TRD Off Road is a mid-level trim. SR, SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD OR, Limited, Trailhunter and TRD Pro.

Why are you ignoring two higher trims?

The off-road is about as mid tier as you get with an even number of trims (8).

1. it’s the most purchased
2. It’s literally in the middle of price point
3. It’s in middle of the trim lineup

It doesn't seem to be a mid level trim after comparing all the trims.

If I was ignoring two higher trims, the OR is the highest trim you can get. I'm just comparing what I see at the website which is 6 trims.

411KM till empty seems low

Smaller gas tank than 3rd gen too

You are still wrong. If you’re ignoring the highest two trims, the limited is top trim by the way.

again. I laid it out for you.

1.SR
2.SR5
3. Prerunner
4. Trd Sport
5. Trd off road
6. Limited
7. Trailhunter
9. Trd pro

really don’t get how the off road is not the middle of the road whether discussing trim level, cost, OR volume seller.

physics says you're still beating the Tundra. There's so many dudes driving full size rigs alone in traffic with these couches on wheels. I did however see a family load up to the max at church the other day, so that's cool. Full seating/full-send.

As long as Toyota beats their own full size offering in MPG, life still grinds on....

I don't see the trailhunter or trd pro on the website. You skipped 8 by the way.
