Had an 02 extended cab. Got TERRIBLE mileage. Of course that was an AWD truck. So I was lucky to get 12 or 13 on the interstate. I ended up punching a tree head on with that truck hahah

my friends brother has one and I cant remember if its a auto or not but its got bigger tires than stock and he says he hates the mileage it gets and can barely afford to drive it. And now hes trying to sell it and the blue book value he got was horrible.

Yes it is. As I said, that truck met it's destiny head on into a tree at 45 mph. Bought for 7500 and the insurance paid 11,500 for it after my deductible. Only made about 3 payments on it. luckily I wasn't hurt. No seat belt and stopped the airbag with my face. Hahaha. But it's all good now, I got my dmax and get WAY better fuel mileage.
