Pretty truck. Hope the seats are comfortable enough. Only negative
thing I remember reading in the Consumer Report review. They said
the same thing about the seats in my 2006 Ford Ranger pickup...and
they were right. Guy around the corner had a jacked up one same
colour as my RAV4..Mica something (brown)
The seats are ok...for a truck. Surprisingly, all the adjustments
you can make are made manually...no "power seats" That was a bummer,
but mostly everything else is pretty neat. I'm "averaging" 21 mpg for
the suburban driving around here, but the one time I had it up to 65
mph, the mpg indicator went up to 27 mpg in sixth gear. I don't know how
accurate that sort of thingie is, though.
What was it when you put your foot back on the gas? ;-)
I'll try it and pay closer attention. I think it indicated about 9 mpg
when I started accelerating from a dead stop in first gear. There's so
many "devices" that I haven't gotten used to on this truck, I'm pretty
busy just keeping it on the road. The "nav" feature is pretty good, but
I have yet to figure out how to get it to shut up.
There may be an 'instantaneous' and an 'average' which you have to designate.
--
There's a "tank" average and an instant average, but I haven't put more
than 100 miles on the truck, so all I really have is the instant reading.
On the Silverado the 'average' covers all the miles since I last reset it.
You can get average and I stand average. Total average, and then personnel
and business averages. I use those for tank and trip ever ages.
