Gas mileage Isn't Close To The EPA Rating

I've found our truck to be a fun and nice looking vehicle. The interior is spacious and all gauges/controls are well within reach. I'm very happy with the styling and performance of the truck. The only real drawback is the 14-15 MPG which I've experienced. I'm getting this MPG on the interstate with the cruise on!

29 mpg on the freeway! Need I say more? My reason for trading in my Dodge Ram for the 4 cylinder Ranger. Design may be dated, but I like the look. Made a great deal on this truck when not able to with the imports.

With rebates this $19k truck came in around $15k. I worked with the dealer to find a SuperCab - 2WD - 4cylinder automatic. I don't plan to haul a lot but like the capability, and the ability to tow things. The acceleration on this truck is really good, never had too little power. With only 1,900 miles so far, I am getting 27mpg in a mix of highway and city driving and every tank shows a 2mpg improvement. I love this truck.

I bought this truck because I needed a long bed truck that would offer good fuel economy. After driving an F150 for a few years and paying too much for gasoline, I found the opportunity to purchase this automobile. My gas mileage, mostly highway, stays around 28 mpg. This is summer driving with the a/c running in Texas. I drive highway speed of about 68 mph and sometimes I leave the tailgate down. The truck offers plenty of room for carrying my loads, and I'm pleased with the overall performance. I bought because I needed the 7 foot bed. No other economy truck has a 7' length. The dealership had to travel 450 miles to pick up the truck, and I paid, walk out the door, $14K.

Nice truck for small tasks. Rides decent on the road and has enough power to romp on it when you need it. The interior lacks any kind of impressive style as well as getting anything in or out of the super cab is a pain since the seat only comes up so far and there is no suicide door. Also stereo could use a little work.
