Questions on TBSS, owners input needed I am looking at a 2007 with 15k miles on it. What sort of real world gas mileage are you getting. Any problems of any kind I should know about? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

15mpg combined if you drive conservatively. 12-13 if you drive with a lead foot. On the highway the best I've gotten is 18.7 keeping it at about 70mph. As far as any problems are the rear end whining, the rear of the truck leaning to the right, and rock chips from the big wheels.

played tag w\one of those for about 50miles on the interstate. you take the tickets out back and i'll take the ones out front and vice versa.
they look like they would be a whole lot more fun than a dodge mini van and probably close to the same mpg if your not standing in it.
with dod and vct i would not dought the mpg between that and a grand caravan are close if you keep your foot off the floor.
no real world support for my opinion i'll let the tbss owners do that.
for the family truckster i think it's a good choice. there are some running mid 10s

Just got rid of our '07 SW TBSS w/ 9000 miles. It had a CAI, catback and tune. The previous post is pretty accurate for miles. 12/13 for a heavy foot and 14/15 driving easy in town. 17/18 on the highway. Awesome vehicle, and a blast to drive. But the Z is a little more fun.
