I was thinking about trading in my '91 4X2 extended cab on an '03 Pre with the 2.7 I-4 in an automatic. The rated mileage is 17 city and 20 highway! I'm thinking this should be higher since it's only a 4 cyl. Anyone have any thoughts or personal experience on that one? I'm getting 27 mpg in my '91 4 cyl 5 spd. Thanks H-S-F
Those numbers sound about right to me. I had a '01 Pre with V6 and got about 14 city, 16.5 hwy. My '04 4D 4WD V6 gets about the same 14 city, 16.5 hwy.
Be aware though, it's a slightly heavier truck than what you have now, and the 4 cylinder, while heavy duty, is a bit underpowered, but it will serve it's over-all purpose.
How many total miles you have on your '91?
Personally speaking, I wouldn't want anything other than the V6. What I would rather have is a manual transmission. That alone would make the gas mileage a bit better. They're extremely rare to find though as far the pre-'05's goes.
I used to have a '89 4sp. Toy pickup also. Should have never gotten rid of it. Easy to fix, easy to maintain, easy to drive, easy on gas.
Well, I ended up buying the '03 Pre last night. I'm still wondering if I should have gotten the V6 but that's the proverbial water under the dam! I'm very interested in seeing how the mileage pans out, I'll keep you posted. H-S-F
