Fuel efficiency figures for the 2012 model year of Toyota’s mid-size pickup truck, the Tacoma, are a key consideration for prospective buyers. These figures, expressed as miles per gallon (mpg), varied depending on the engine, drivetrain (2WD or 4WD), and transmission (manual or automatic) configurations chosen. Understanding these variances is critical to estimating running costs.
The appeal of this vehicle stems from its reputation for reliability and resale value, coupled with its practicality for both work and personal use. Fuel consumption directly impacts the overall cost of ownership. Historically, smaller trucks were often favored for their economy, but the Tacoma offered a balance of utility and relative efficiency within its class, making it a popular choice.
