[QUOTE="2013GT'ed, post: 14929996, member: 164528"] That Toyota is VERY thirsty with those gears. Usually only see 14-16 mpg on the freeway on a good day in Brother in laws. On the otherhand it DOES had bamf breaks. The interior is due for a update and some people still get the bed shake. On the other side i have a 2011 Fx4 CC ecoboost with the 373's and max tow. I routinely get 21+ on the freeway and have multiple pics of getting 24 at 70-71. A few times quite a bit higher. I like my interior better then the bros loaded rock crawler and it tows a lot easier from a standstill and when doing hills by quite a good margin. Although i think the bros beats me by 1-1.5 mpg while towing. He HATES the small tank though. He also hates the truck running at 4k rpms when rolling up the hills here and around the PNW. Its awesome to drive offroad just like mine. It will hold its value better but only if you don't beat on it. His has move squeaks and rattles then mine by far but hes put more miles on it for sure. Bottom line, they are BOTH good trucks and its pretty much just a couple of pros and cons to balance in your head. You will pay more for the yoda too.
