MODERATORS
Full size trucks can get about 22 mpg highway. A 2011 Ford Ranger, the last year they were made, got 19 highway, with the v6..
They have gotten more fuel efficent.
Light truck fuel efficiency has slowly been dragged up kicking and screaming by CAFE "fleetwide" rate by .25 to 1.3 MPG per year over the last decade or so. If memory serves we get 1.7 more MPG on light trucks in 2025.
Not sure if you're aware but Ford has resumed production of the Ranger, it's just now the same size as the Chevy Colorado: huge.
Im aware. I dont consider it to really be a ranger
With all due respect, those numbers are terrible.
