[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15643461, member: 166576"] You'll probably have better luck with a 1998-2003 F-150 with the 4.6L Modular They do well on the highway for obvious reasons. This gentleman on fuelly.com does about 80% freeway and 20% city, looks like a commuter: [URL]http://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/f-150/2002/thehoffmanzoo/433583[/URL] Nearly 20 mpg average (city/highway), and still has V8 power when you need it. A Super Cab 4x2 with a 4.6L Modular would be a better option over the Ranger. Find one that that has a stock suspension too. The closer the cab and frame are to the ground, the less drag. A Bed cover will also help increase MPGs. My dad has a 2002 F-150 Crew Cab Lariat with the 5.4L (4x2) and we averaged 20 mpg highway from San Diego to San Fransisco (Bears game v. the 49ers). Needless to say, Ive been VERY impressed with all the Ford Modular V8's ive been around. 20mpg highway for a 4 door Full size half ton with 330hp isnt bad at all if you ask me. In my opinion, it was the lack of meaningful fuel mileage savings over the F-150 and hauling capacity that doomed the original Ranger. [/QUOTE]
