T100 gas mileage/ tow capacity?
What kind of MPG does a 2wd T-100 get? Also what can I expect for a safe towing capacity.

I'm assuming you are considering the newest models which come equipped with the 3.4v6. Mileage should be around 14-16 mpg and towing capacity will be less than 5,000 lbs. A 5spd manual equipped truck will say it is rated for 3500 lbs? but I know tons of people who have towed up to 5,000 lbs. on a regular basis with the manual transmission trucks. In other words, the manual can handle the additional weight if you go that way.
5,000 lbs. will feel very heavy behind a T100

I haven't towed with mine but I get 18-22 mpg with the 3.4 4wd. The truck does seem a little light for 5000 lbs but I would do it in a heartbeat with trailer brakes

There were some improvements made to the 3.4 v6, I think midway through 96?

I've flat towed my '74 land cruiser behind a 5 spd tacoma with the same 3.4L motor.
