...I have a 2001 model year Ranger, two wheel drive. It has a standard cab and the short bed. The engine is a 3.0 liter V-6 and the transmission is a five speed manual overdrive. The only other options this truck has is cruise control, towing package and air conditioning. This truck has been getting awesome fuel economy. It doesn't tow as much as the mid size SUV I had, but the fuel economy far outweighs it's towing capacity. While towing my 5x8 utility trailer (empty weight of 780 lbs) with my lawn tractor, a push mower and trimmer - the Ranger does well. It typically gets 24.3 mpg. Being empty and using the cruise control set to 60 mph on the open highway, the Ranger easily gets up to 28.7 mpg.... Read review
