Thinking of getting a new ride got a ?

LIAR, LIAR...

We had those at Hertz. They were rated for 14, every customer who ever rented one came back with complaints about mpg in the 10-12 range...Fun trucks, loads of power but horrible mileage...Maybe you're thinking of the Frontier with 4.0 V6, but they don't even get that kinda mileage. Bout the only one to consistently break into the mid 20s is the Colorado/Canyon. They drive good, but I know nothing of long term reliability. The 5 cylinder is actually pretty good. The first two years it was a 220hp 3.5L. Better than the 4.3L V6 from the S10. If the Tacoma and Frontier didn't come out with so much power you wouldn't even notice the "lack of power" in the Colorado. The 2007+ models got a shot of steroids in the form of a displacement increase for both the 4 and 5 cyl engines. The new 2.9L 4cyl has more power than the Rager's 3.0 V6. The 3.7L 5 cyl now has 242 hp, same as the Tacoma's 4.0 V6 and only 20 behind the Frontier. Mind you, the Colorado is a bit lighter than the Tacoma and Frontier. I like em myself, in case you haven't guessed. If gas wasn't so expensive I'd go for the Frontier (the Tacoma requires premium in order to make its full power, so on regular gas the Colorado's 5 has more power than the Tacoma's 6).

My step dad just got a 04 Titan used and he's getting 22+ mph. He averages 20,000 miles a year just from work so he keeps a prety acurate count on his MPH. And thats with a 4 door with a V8.
