[QUOTE="bassassassin, post: 220126, member: 1672"] The reason behind the wide swings in fuel economy is the 2x4 versus 4x4, gearing, options, the nut behind the wheel, and how the truck is used. IMHO many people drive much more agressively than they think, underestimate amount of weight in the vehicle, underestimate how much they tow, throw a big heavy fiberglass camper shell on a truck and wonder why their fuel mileage SUCKS! Be honest with yourself on how you will use the truck as to how big a tire do you really need; I know the factory tires on the eco are rather small but do you really need 35 or 37 inch tall tires on the truck all the time or can you go with a second set of larger more agressive tires to put on the truck when you really need them since using them on the highway at 25000 miles a year you will be replacing them every 12 to 18 months.
