Modified Tacoma MPG Check

Taco Tuesday · 2024-07-05T23:52:49+00:00

Anyone noticed a distinct engine shake, almost feels like a misfire at idle when the HVAC is on? If the HVAC is off - no shake at idle. I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has had their truck to a dealer to have the issue looked at and if so what was the "fix" or "reply" from the dealer as to what it is. Also curious to know how many people have and have not felt the shake. It feels like an engine misfiring on a cylinder when at stops with the HVAC on, whole truck shakes -it's very apparent. Moreover what really surprises me is of all the reviews of the new Tacoma out there, nobody has mentioned it in their review or it's not talked about at all, yet one differential failure from TFL is talked about by the whole world. I know I've read that others have noticed the shake as well.

For those who have modified your new Tacomas, what kind of MPG are you getting? I have larger tires, a Westcott Lift, low pro front bumper, roof rack, and a GFC topper. I’m getting about 17 MPG (when calculated). I was at around 21 MPG prior to building the truck up.
