<![CDATA[Need the MPG]]>Ok..

Well.. I am going to possibly be being a truck. Problem is, with my gaming addiction (lol?), I have been invited to play for a team that is going to pay me to travel to the winipeg area once a month or so. I need a truck that will get pretty good MPG on the road. I know I wont be getting 30 mpg like some cars, but I dont want a car.

Anybody have any suggestions on a truck that would get decent milage? In town should be decent as well please.

SuGgEsTiOnS PlZ?!?!

Thanks!

BTW - Looking for something fairly new, but not brand new. no old ancient shit either 😉

The S10 is a capable rig no doubt if you pulling a 2000 pound honda, but the 4.3 make little or no torque under 2000 revs if you're towing thats where you need it, plus there are tounge weight considerations, transmission cooling issues. I just would not do it unless i wanted to know where the weak links are. If you're gonna do it get the trans filter changed, flush the whole thing not just the pan, and get a good cooler.

a 5spd ranger gets 24mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. The 2.3 is a reliable motor.
Shit that is funny..... i owned a mint 97 2wd 5speed ranger with the 2.3L before i traded for the cummins.

And this is no lie.... sure you can get 25-28 mpg traveling at 50mph and I did... but on the interstate it was a joke.... that thing was labored to death trying to keep 75 on flat ground even with a little headwind, and on the west side of bismarck when you start getting hills.... fuck it was all over, i kinda felt bad for the engine.

I never got better than 17mpg on all the trips i made from Wahp to home 350miles, All interstate, and this pickup was perfect running condition
Reliable...very

Youll get the best milage with the older 12 valve engine (94-98.5) though the 24 valve (98.5-02) and common rail (03-pres.)get damn good milage with a programer, and they will last forever. the 12 valve is absolutely indestructable though.

I have a large fuel plate and full length 5" exhaust (350hp 700ftlbs wheel) and i get 21mpg and 17 towing 75 mph on interstate. A 2wd version can get upwards of 25mpg
