I've retired my F-150 and now drive a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. I have the extended cab version and I'm getting about 20 mpg, but thats probably because I drive like a nut and mostly local driving. The extended cab gets me and the family around, but a dual cab is probably more comfortable for the family.The tow package is rated at 6000 lbs. Also, its the sharpest lookin' midsized truck out there now
