Wondering what others with similar set ups are getting ? I have 2013 Tacoma access cab ,4wd tow package v-6 4.0
I looking at both a casita 17 sprite deluxe and a escape 19 . Thinking the casita will tow better and get better gas mileage .

We tow our 17' SD with a 2011 Tacoma 4x4 V6 access cab. Our mpg will average 15 in the mostly flat land area we live in. No doubt it would vary depending on head wind, tail wind, incline, etc. But it seems from other posts that you could expect to get 14-15 mpg towing with a 4x4 Tacoma.

2014 Tacoma V6, 14 mpg.

The dual axle Escape will tow and handle much easier than the Casita; we've had both. Mileage may not be as bad as you think - our Taco got 14-15 towing the 17LD and gets 13-14 towing an Escape 21.

We tow our 17 SD with a 2010 Taco Prerunner with a cab height fiberglass cap by Snugtop. Our mileage varies while towing depending which way the wind blows and elevation. At around 7,000 elevation in New Mexico once, our mileage was a little over 17mpg, but at or around sea level we get an average of 14-16 @ 60. Bucking a stiff wind can bring it down to 12. I've quit checking mileage, so my figures are a couple years old. We try to be light on the peddle and let her slow down going up steep mountain passes, which are common in Washington if you want to go to the other side.

In case you're still thinking about an Escape, Their 2016 production schedule is full for all models as of today (9/8) so the earliest available slot isn't until 2017............

I know someone that purchased the tandem axle Escape. Getting delivery in November, can't wait to see it as i really like a tandem axle setup.
I don't have the specs but i believe i heard the 19' Escape is close in weight to 17' Casita...... Both are great trailers

2015 Tacoma Double Cab, Off-road Pkg, 4x4. We picked up our Casita LD on Aug 12th. On the drive to Rice we averaged 20 mpg, with the trailer we averaged 15 driving in 4th gear at around 60 MPH. The Truck had about 3 weeks of clothes, luggage etc in it. The trailer was minimally packed enough to camp on our trip back to Seattle.
