The difference is not huge, I have had both sets of gears now and haven't noticed much of a decrease at all. You can always add the tow mirrors later but it will cost over $300 to get them new.
Douche-bag saleman!my dealer told me that the gear ratio would be the same unless i engaged the tow mode. if i do not have the tow mode engaged, is it affecting my gas mileage.
GET BIG TOW!!! It is only a 500 dollar option but is worth a lot more than that. I don't think the difference in MPG would really matter. The biggest thing i see in MPG diffrence is 4X4 vs. non 4X4. I have a 08 KC 4X4 BT getting around 13-15 M.P.GcrewcabLEinsc said:my dealer told me that the gear ratio would be the same unless i engaged the tow mode. if i do not have the tow mode engaged, is it affecting my gas mileage. i wanted the towing mirrors and he told me i could not just get the mirrors and put them on a truck that did not have the package for them. not that i am too obsessed about gas mileage. i bought a big truck. i was just wondering if i was taken for a ride. if the gas mileage is very different i may consider trading down.
An LE CC for $20.5K with that mileage, i believe that is a $3-4K less than blue book. I'd say you have reason to keep smiling!crewcabLEinsc said:i may have made him sound worse than he really is. i got an 05 le crew cab 2wd with 25000 miles on it with all options except no sunroof for $20500. i felt so good about that deal (don't tell me if that wasn't as good of a deal as i think it was because if it wasn't i don't want to know) i just think he may have represented some knowledge that he evidently was sure of. he was a toyota salesman that drives a z. i did like that about him.
