I have a 08 tundra double cab with the 5.7, i dunno about now but at the time the 5.7 was only a thousand bones more and got better mileage due to the 6 speed tranny vs the 5 speed. I find the 5.7 has plenty of torque (I have no problem pulling a 40 hp kubota 4x4 with front end loader and tiller) and gets 13 mpg while pulling it. I average 18 mpg on a daily basis, and get between 19-21 mpg on the highway. The double cab has about the same room as a dodge quad cab and a 6.5' bed vs the crew max's 5' or 5.5' bed (which is why i wanted the double cab for the bigger bed). The tacoma was just too small for what I do with my truck imho.
