Or...you could just be like me and like driving smaller 4x4 pickups. Easier to drive, park and maneuver.

That's true, but I just wanted to let him know that if he thinks he's going to get better gas mileage with a smaller truck that may not be the case.

I'll agree with that 100%. It is dissapointing for sure.

I think my dads 08 1/2 ton ext cab 4x4 with the smaller v8 gets 19-20,... where my 03 s-10 with the 4.3 v6 gets 18mpg. My Colorado with the I-5 gets 20mpg.

My old 95 F-250 with the 5.8 gets 11-12, maybe 13 on flat highways at best. Have I ever mentioned how unbelievbly gutless that 5.8 ford is? You have to floor it approaching hills because it wont even pull its own weight going up them. Horrible.

That's a good point That was mentioned by Sandberm that I myself had failed to mention about a smaller truck. It was a smaller truck that I wanted since I was looking at s10's, ford Rangers, and tacomas. I live in an apartment now and a full size truck wouldn't even fit in my garage. I like big trucks; however, I just don't feel as though I need a full size truck to do what I need one to do.

I have 2007, quad cab Dakota, 3.7
It has been a good truck. As others have said, the MPGs of the 3.7 or 3.9 V6 sucks. My 3.7 gets 15-16 MPG. I got 13-14 MPG with my 4.7 Ram. The backseat is small, but my in laws fit back their just fine on road trips.

Mine had the v8 and auto tranny. I loved it.

Middle of summer is started having electrical issues with the windows and AC so the wife wanted it gone.
