I've got an auto V6 (2012) and the shell is on full time. Just filled up and got 19.8 since the last fill: from Del Norte, CO to Denver and a did a few trips around town. My wife drove most of that leg, and she is on the conservative side, but not annoying...slus said:Those are pretty impressive MPG figures with a camper on the back! Are you all running automatic transmissions?
I don't have numbers with a camper since mine rides on an F350, but my dad and I drive basically identical 2013 Tacomas, except his is auto and I opted for the 6 Speed. He gets 20-21 on the highway and about 19 mixed, I get 17......everywhere, all the time.

Are you surprised mileage is so low compared to an empty truck? Or so High?
. Our 2013 has 4 liter V6, 5-speed auto. With 3.73 rear gear (trailer towing pkg). We only burn chevron premium. There is Noticible performance difference over regular and mileage increased by almost 1 mpg. It is driven conservatively under 70 mph - mostly 60 - 68.
