Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Crew Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Even with the V6, the fuel economy hovers around 22MPG with mixed city/highway driving. A lot cheaper to refuel than a full size. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I thought the fuel economy, for a truck, was excellent. It gets 5mpg better than a Honda Ridgeline. see full Toyota Tacoma review
