What is a good small truck with good gas milage & pull a small lawn trailer

[02greyGT]

For $2500 you can buy over 700 gallons of gas @ $3.50 gal.

Well the 4.3 V6 after research on the norm does 20 to 22 mpg Hwy/City! Does they not make a small truck that gets 25 City 28 Hwy

Ugh?

Well my White GMC 1/2 ton Longbed 350 get 15 city & 21 Hwy! I prolly should just make another thread on tips to get better milage in my current truck & just spend the money on dropping the Belt Driven Fan & going with a Elec Fan & maybe a underdrive Pully

Perhaps the answer is just getting more jobs and scheduling/routing them properly to where you aren't doing as much driving and more working.

Did not read a single post, but the only one close will be the 90s model Nissans as far as I know. Even they won't get 35 hwy though. I owned two of them in my teens and early twenties. Great little trucks, but you won't see that kind of mileage - especially pulling gear.

Anyway, *I* would aim for the 86 1/2 (I think to) whatever year it was that style ran to before the frontier was released. Parts should be easy to come-by as well.

I'll admit though, you'll have space issues and pulling a trailer is going to be a bitch with one of those considering how old/worn out it'll probably be - regardless of how well it was maintained.

I wish! My 01 never gets more than 17.

A 2005 4 cylinder Colorado is rated at 18/24, Rangers are 21/27, Dakota 15/20, Tacoma 18/25 and Frontier 19/23.

You might want to look at mini vans. Some of the 4 cylinder ones will get close to what you need and can tow small trailers.

gets my vote, mine has gotten a best of 22mpg, pulled a loaded 96 camaro home and took a load of 1900lbs to the scrap yard in the bed not at the same time. It does have a 2.3t ford motor tho so it would prob get better mileage if I didn't drive the piss out of it.

2.2 s10 will get 25ish but mine hasnt ever got better then 20 mixed...i guess that could be 25 hwy but ive never driven all hwy...id sell it in your range but just not sure youd get the mileage jump you want

[hotrod66stang]

Don't be short-sighted. 2.3L Ranger is where it's at. It's the only truck that offers close to what you're asking. My dad used to drive to Houston from Austin every day, loaded down with tools and still got ~23 mpg. 26-28 mpg unloaded.

Pro88LX has a Ranger Splash for sale. Just take it to Maaco and paint it white. It's a work truck, who gives a damn if it's a show quality paint or not. Rangers are good trucks, don't be shortsighted on it. It's a work truck, drive it into the ground and don't worry about it.

Its an edge not a splash, and i sold it around christmas time LOL Try answering your phone once in a while.

[Stunter Bob]

Get a cummins....power and mileage. Cant beat it

[Chili]

I think a Ranger is the way to go.. Quit being narrow minded. Though you might have trouble finding a decent one for $2500.

[franks]

ive got a ranger it meets all of your criteria and i love it, its cheap on some areas of fit and finish but it makes up for it in durability. i run mine hard and when i say hard i mean hard and havent had problems yet, my brother has an older one with 180k+ miles and has had a clutch put in it which has been the biggest repair to date.

plus they both get 26+mpg all the time

Don't even get me started on the phone issues I've been having. Sprint fuckin blows huge ethnic cock.

If anyone here works for Sprint, I'd love to meet up with you just so I can kick you in the balls.
