He also said 4x4...
EPA estimates 1996, all with manual transmission, I picked the best number for
each except where noted.
Ranger 15/19 - 4cyl
Colorado 16/21 - 4cyl
Dakota 15/19 - 6cyl
Tacoma 16/21 - 4cyl
Chevy Silverado 1500 13/18, 6cyl 4.3l
Chevy Silverado 1500 14/18, 8cyl 4.8l - weird...
Chevy Silverado 1500 13/18, 8cyl 5.3l - weirder
Dodge Ram 1500 12/14 8cyl 4.7l flex fuel - wierdest, the 5.7l is 13/17.
Hmm, by the look of this I may rethink the fullsize truck. There are DEALS to
be had on those while people flock to the smaller ones. If its only going to
cost me 2-4mpg...

The Ranger gets
piss poor gas mileage, the same as the Colorado crew cab 5cyl... 3mpg
better than the big Chevy with the 6l v8... The Ranger is smaller than
both of them."
According to the EPA mileage estimates, the Ranger beats all the other small
trucks.
Ranger 21/27
Colorado/Canyon 18/25
Dakota 15/20
Tacoma 18/25
This is based on 2006 figures because I think Dan said he wanted a used vehicle.
