  1. Not that it seems to be a consideration but I picked up a 2017 TITAN, non diesel non XD, about a month back. Would've also gone with a Tundra had the dealership had any interest in selling me one. My MPG is horrible compared to the numbers I'm seeing posted here, I'm averaging 17.2 litres per 100 km over the first 3000km on the odometer. Mostly city, some highway and some towing. Hope to see an improvement as the engine breaks in maybe. Otherwise seems decent. Big and reasonably powerful although somehow preferred the throttle response on my old tundra. Haven't managed to run against a hemi yet, imagine it would be pretty comparable off the line. I think I would've been just as happy with a full size 4x4 from any of the other manufacturers though.

    Hopefully it improves. Don't see many Nissan's around here, but that too is a nice looking truck!

     

    For me, big difference is almost no city/town driving. Im 2 blocks from the highway in a small town.

     

    I might get better fuel economy is than some, but caveat is gas here is usually alot more. It's around 116 right now.

  2. I've kept a log book from day one. For a total of just over 25,000km the total average is 9.7l/km (30mpg) Worst in winter was 11.8l/100km(24 mpg) towing cargo trailer with atv and fishing gear. Best is 7.3l/100km (38.6 mpg). If I go on a longer highway trip, I can get that down to 7.1 holding at around 110km/h.

    Shut up! Im happy with my Silverado but WILL ONE DAY OWN A TUNDRA

  3. You call that bad but average much less?

     

    I get 25mpg in our Silverado. Not too bad for a much better truck than an eco deisel 1500 dodge

     

    And for Toyota that's city driving. I think it's around 16-17 highway. It's def. A work truck

     

    I'd still get one based on the fact it's not ever likely to break down with heavy, work related driving

  4. One of the problems with Toyota is their lousy fuel consumption, I'm using less than half of that and even towing boat, cargo trailer or 22 foot travel trailer I'm doing better than their lowest usage.

    What do you get mileage wise? I got around 15mpg in a tundra

     

    With work trailers it was around 12mpg

  5. im driving a 2016 eco diesel and i friggin love it so far...better looking than the ford, drives better than the ford and gets stupid mileage.

     

    Ya if i could afford a GMC id buy one...but who has 100k for a truck?

    That's basically Toyota lol. I paid 42 I think for my Chevy? Somewhere around that anyhow

     

    Cheapest I could find a decent package tundra was around 60

  6. I just packed my Stormtech jacket and pants for a trip. It's 17 years old and looks and works like new. I don't even know if they still make them, I haven't had to replace it.

    My ol man distributes for them.

     

    So if anyone wants, i can hook up a great cost

     

    The gear is great, but OI would you agree the jackets fit small?

     

    My large pants fit great, but my jacket at xl was too small. Mind you im fat

     

    But I had to go xxl

  7. We keep pike from 24"-30" and they are great to eat. They are fun to catch and eat for sure. I know some people don't like catching pike but I enjoy targeting them here and there.

    I Target them too but the lakes I fish it's inevitable to catch many per day

     

    Super plentiful up this way

  8. a two pound pike is not worth the trouble. a 27 inch pike IS worth the trouble.

     

    a two pound bass is delicious.

     

    Doug

    Yeah, I usually keep 24"-27". Lotsa great meat on those

     

    Not sure I could even fillet a 2lber lol

     

    I keep more pike than walleye these days. It's just easier and they seem so plentiful. Nice firm flesh too
