Takes 87 octane, I believe tests showed 19mpg combined driving.
Here's the interior shots I promised:
the cockpit:
I thought this was an interesting factory installed option; TRD Quickshifter, love it!
Another great feature, rear seats fold flat for usable cargo:

The interior portion of the pickup bed is actually a composite tub with steel bedsides and tailgaite attached; Good for corrosion resistance and light weight! Comes from the factory with a track system you can configure to hold various things, 120V 100w/400w plug, 4 storage compartments, and bed mounted tie down hooks.

Besides the factory lowered suspension, increased spring rates, and Bilstien shocks that make the X-Runner handle so well, here Toyota's patent pending X-Brace and where they derive the X-Runner name from. Notice it's used to tie the rear leaf spring perches and frame rails together. There is another X-Brace in the forward position as well. Also notice the fullsize spare tire using the same 18" aluminum wheel/Bridgestone Potenza tire currently mounted to the truck!

The filter location is nice, but see if you can find a small wheel center cap to put under the hole to catch the residual oil. That is a bad *** truck i had an older one come in at work and i had a blast test driving it after the oil change.
